Cal Bay Area Media Day

Yesterday, the bay area media gathered to glean what they could from coaches and players representing Cal and Stanford. Oh, and San Jose State, forgot about them. Sorry.

Nothing real big came out of the remarks or Q and As other than the big news from CBS Sports' John Breech that outside linebacker Cecil Whiteside had been reinstated. I'll have more on that in my other post assuming the possible news story that Penn State linebacker Khairi Fortt will be joining the Bears in the wake of the Penn State scandal. Stay tuned for that one.

In the meanwhile, check out a few videos from Cal Athletics featuring behind the scenes footage of Cal safety Josh Hill and star wide receiver Keenan Allen.



After the jump, another video of Tedford addressing the media and some highlights from yesterday.

Below, Tedford speaks.


Other than the Whiteside news, there wasn't anything too big. With guard Dominic Galas likely lost for the year due to a torn pectoral injury, the Bears are looking at Chris Adcock filling in at the right guard spot. Bigman Geoffrey Gibson may also get a look there, or at right tackle, and the Bears are excited to see what incoming freshmen Matt Cochran, Freddie Tagaloa and Matt Cochran can do.

The emphasis in spring ball offensively will be to get the wide receivers up to speed. Tedford stated that at the very least, three, if not all five incoming freshman wide receivers will be expected to contribute. The Bears currently have just one scholarship wide receiver other than Keenan Allen, cousin Maurice Harris.
