Recruiting Update: Brazinski and the "Big Three"

Cal received another commitment over the weekend during the Under Armour All-American High School Football game. One of the nation’s top high school centers, Mark Brazinski, selected the Cal cap from a number of schools, signaling that the New Jersey native will be headed to Berkeley this fall in hopes of being the next great Golden Bear center (after Chris Guarnero).

Cal beat out a number of other East Coast schools for Brazinski, including Florida State and North Carolina. The 6’3, 300 pound senior is ranked 4 stars by Rivals.com and is considered the 8th best center prospect in the country. Scout.com actually has Brazinski ranked as the top center prospect nationally, but is only ranked 3 stars. Weird.

Welcome to Cal, Mark!

The “Big Three”
Many Cal fans await commitment decisions from Cal’s top three recruiting targets, ATH Adam Hall, DE/OLB Devon Kennard, and WR Randall Carroll. All are blue chip prospects and have Cal listed as one of their top three finalists.

Adam Hall was supposedly supposed to have made his selection at the All-American game as well, but was not ready and felt frustrated by the game organizers’ constant badgering to force students into making decisions for the broadcast. Instead Hall simply removed the USC and Alabama caps from the table, narrowing his list to Cal, Oregon, and Arizona.
