Cal is going through one of the most shocking spring transfer portal exoduses in memory. Jaydn Ott plays for Oklahoma now, and all nine of Cal’s top rushers from last season (not just running backs) have entered the portal. Richard has done some reporting on this story, and he talks with Alex about what he’s learned about the Bears’ situation:
Influential donors’ quest to get Ron Rivera named GM
The shock of Ott going into the portal
The bulk quantity of Cal’s offensive exits
New OC Bryan Harsin’s role in the departures
Do we all know how this is going to end? Richard says yes. Let’s discuss.
