It is no surprise that in a conference like the Pac-10 where all of the schools are so close together and share many of the same academic qualifications that prospective football recruits tend to look at multiple Pac-10 schools before making a final decision.
However, recently there as been a recruiting “battle” between the Washington Huskies and the California-Berkley Golden Bears. The Golden Bears. Both Cal Golden Bears head coach Jeff Tedford and Washington Huskies head coach Steve Sarkisian run strong programs that rely heavily on bringing in the best. So it was quite an upset when the Cal Golden Bears recruited a top defensive lineman prospect who had already verbally committed to the Huskies. Although there are not NCAA rules against this, to me it seems like poor-form to court someone else’s boyfriend.
But karma may come around to rear its ugly head for the Cal Golden Bears. Tevin Carter, an all-star wide receiver made a verbal commitment to Cal for the class of 2010, and it is rumored that the Huskies are already trying to woo him away. Carter would be an excellent recruit for any team and the Huskies certainly do not want to see him play on the Cal Golden Bears roster.
This Pac-10 fan is guessing that by the time letters of intent are being signed for this recruiting class everything could look a lot different.
