While it's unfortunate he is choosing to leave the state (most likely), I would rather lose a couple of in-state guys and get all the guys we seem to be getting on the West Coast who want to get away from CA and explore other parts of the country.
I also appreciate that he made this decision now rather than in December or January. We already have one great TE recruit this year, and also have Matt Snyder coming this fall, plus our existing players. I don't think this is a position where we are too weak.
