I think any job he applies for in the field of his degree will be impressed when they see a Cal Berkeley degree.

Ok, you're entitled to that opinion. In many instances I would agree with you. However I will say, I live in California, not the Bay Area, and I've interacted with several Berkeley grads. A couple have several degrees from other places as well. Couple others just their undergrad. With one exception, they all share these things in common - extreme liberal thinking and a complete lack of street smarts. If you want to talk theory and debate, they're excellent. If you want to talk about anything related real world occurences, they short circuit. I mention this not for political reasons, but rather to point out that those degrees aren't as impressive as they once may have been. When you add in that athletes generally major in things like Liberal Arts, Communication and Exercise and Sports Science (ahem, PE), it's not the same as the other majors I originally listed.

Have you ever spent any time with Ivy League grads? Many of them (not all obv) are booger picking goobers who are indeed smart. They're just weird asf. Berkely grads are similar, but replace booger picking with angry and you're close. That's my point. And yes, I'm stereotyping, but I've also acknowledged as much.

I don't know what he did or did not do with the opportunity. But the opportunity to get a degree from a well accredited school was presented to him and he is enrolled there.

He still has a couple years of eligibility left. If you want to believe he's getting a degree in anything other than glorified PE, good for you. Will he be (likely) better off in the long run with a degree from Cal rather than not getting one? Of course. The points I'm trying to drive home though are that athletes don't major in the same things that regular students do (it's why universities stopped listing majors on player pages) and Berkely isn't really as prestigious as it once may have been. That's it.

I know plenty of folks who graduated from UM with me. Some are successful. Some are even super successful. Some own businesses. Some are doctors. Some are lawyers. Some are losers. Some are dead. Some are stupid. Point being, having a degree is not a guarantee of future success. Again, the data all show that having a degree means a higher likelihood of (financial) success than not having one, I'm simply saying it's not this panacaea of guaranteed success that many think it is.

Fair enough. I could see that with this generation of weirdos.. I was speaking on Jaden Wayne mostly & any normal student who happened to graduate from there.
 
Take one QB recruit you feel good about each year, but the portal should be the focus

Saved us? He wouldn't be here any more. Mario still would have went after Ward and Beck. Mario believes in competition, not coddling the egos of divas

The point is, would boosters have ponied up for Ward if they had ended up investing millions into a bust at QB beforehand?

I actually feel bad for the kid, his dad (or whoever was guiding him) and UF really ****ed him...

Maybe his path turns out different had he enrolled here. I hope he gets a degree and turns it into something.
