Aside from the status of Cal running back Daniel Lasco, the other major news from Sunday night for the Golden Bears was the departure of wide receiver Erik Brown. Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle reported that it was personal reasons. Brown has not appeared on any Cal fall depth chart and it seemed like he wasn't going to make an impact this season due to reported academic issues. Now it appears if he wants to play Division 1 football, it'll have to be elsewhere besides Cal.
Brown was a four-star wide receiver commit at from Summit High in Fontana and one of the highest ranked commits from the 2013-14 recruiting class (a class that committed to the Bears after the tortuous 1-11 campaign), and he was the only wideout of that class.
