The California Golden Bears have released their first official fall roster! And already there is one big question mark: Our potential starting center is not among the players listed. Where is Matt Cochran?
Obviously, no official announcements have been made, which is why this is a bit of a surprise. But a bit of poking around seems to indicate that there is smoke to this potential fire. From this article, Ryan Gorcey seems to think that Cochran will not be returning to the team.
While McCollum's addition comes as the Bears lose the presumptive starter for this year -- Matt Cochran -- and will be going with one of three untested players at the position in Semisi Uluave, Dominic Granado or Addison Ooms, his recruitment was not a function of the depth at that position.
