-Defensive backs in general are impressive. Shaq Thompson can really move for a guy his size.
-Aziz Shittu is moving around well in drills this morning.
-I also like Cleveland Wallace in the defensive backs group.

Deontay Greenberry and Tee Shepard are both out here going through drills- not in pads.

Byron Marshall looks very good at RB. Good burst and power explosiveness but very very natural hands too.
I also really like Dalis Bruce. It sounds like Colorado is on him the hardest.

To echo what JC said, Shaq Thompson looks every bit like a 5 star out here. Greenberry also looks very good.

New UCLA commit Marcus Rios with a nice breakup at CB. DB group is Deep and talented.
Zach Kline is here too showing his usual big arm. He's looked pretty sharp

Barton/JC - Do you guys think Shaq Thompson's eventual position will be at LB instead of Safety?

Right now I just think he's a big safety.

That's very possible. Hes a big dude and looks really comfortable playing inside the box.

Cal is going to have a great class this year if things turn out the way they look like. It may not be huge in terms of numbers, but lots of difference-makers.

Thanks for the great news regarding Tee and Deontay. Who is a WR you would compare Deontay too? How is Tee looking? Does he look like he stayed in shape after sitting out this season? Is Tee the top CB out West this year?

Deontay reminds me of a shorter version of Sidney Rice on offense. He's elite on defense, too, but no comparison comes to mind.
Shepard looks fine. He's playing safety today. I am not sure about top CB out West. For example, is Davonte Neal going to be a corner? Questions.

Will you guys be talking to Byron at all?

They both practice morning and afternoon. We needed to catch up with Greenberry/Shepard so we both went to NorCal practice this morning and will hit SoCal right now in a few. Tomorrow, Barton and I will split up. There are some underclassmen here as well.

He is one of those that does not seem to give interviews much, if at all.........

We are out here at SoCal practice. Darreus Rogers looks the part- also like Kenny Lawler and Bryce Treggs.

Treggs is very quick to pick up on things- offensive scheme, etc. Smart, well coached player.

Like Arizona commit Kyle Kelly- very active player.
Brandon Beaver really has a lot of potential as a bigger corner or even a free safety.

I love Devian Shelton at cornerback. Big kid. Great feet. Looks like a 4star to me. Recruitment is up in the air after coaching change at arizona
