With less than 24 hrs to the first-ever Early Signing Day, the tea leaves are boding less-than-well for the California Golden Bears...
Once-commited QB JT Shrout announced his own decommitment from the program. Shrout is out.
After much thought and prayer I have decided to de-commit from from Cal. I would like to thank Coach Wilcox and his staff for giving me this opportunity, but I feel this is the best thing for me to do. I will still be signing tomorrow during the early signing period. Thank you.

Shrout was garnering some hype for apparently already wowing NFL scouts.
