Getting to know Charlie Ragle, the new Cal special teams and tight ends coach

As we progress through these previews, one fact becomes increasingly clear: Justin Wilcox wants to land some dang recruits. Just look at how he’s organized his staff. What (some of) his assistants lack in experience, recent success, or star power, they make up for with an ability to bring in elite talent. Perhaps that’s something necessitated by the athletic department’s budget constraints, or perhaps it’s a direct response to Sonny Dykes’ inability to lock down local talent. Either way, if you’re a California Golden Bears fan who’s tired of losing recruiting battles to our conference rivals, you should be feeling very optimistic.
