At this stage possibly? I think right or wrong the commodity of a hard throwing left-handed pitcher garnersIs Steeves more highly regarded than Torkelson was?

I’m actually kind of surprised Cal is getting commitments. Until the conference alignment thing plays out, I would would want to sit back and see where that shapes up. Just thinking if i’m a P5 caliber player I would definitely take into account the league and competition I could be possibly playing against down the road.Enochs 2024 RHP Kannon Sharpe has committed to San Francisco
Chico 2025 RHP Rex Edwards has committed to Cal
I agree. And I have seen theories floated out there (from people who know how this works) that if Cal can't figure out the revenue part in a new conference, they might have to cut sports and baseball could be on the cutting block againI’m actually kind of surprised Cal is getting commitments.

Obviously, baseball is a little different. You could have go and play at a Fullerton or UC Irvine etc or many other mid majors, and its still big time ball. I would think some would take the conference alignment into consideration.
I have a couple buddies who played at ASU and U of A, and universally they always tell me their favorite part of playing in college was always the bay area road trip. They loved going to Sunken and Evans diamond and playing there and the weather etc. It could still be done now, but might be a lot tougher if its non conference. As a parent, I would be curious to where my kid would be playing in half and I could see them. Right now if you’re in the bay area and your kid is in the Pac you can jump on a plane and within an hour and a half to two hours go see them on the road at most venues. If you’re in a conference with say a Cincinnati and West Virginia and your an outlier out west that would be a big consideration for me and my family as well.
The WCC has always been a consideration for very good Bay Area talent for the many reasons Bella states. As a non-football revenue league (save BYU- and USD is pay to play Pioneer,) their funds are budgeted differently. PLENTY of pros from there. The only caveat is they want you done in four years, but emphasize helping student athletes accomplish their degrees. After all, that's what "puts bread on the table."I’m actually kind of surprised Cal is getting commitments.

You guys being up good points. The fact CAL almost dropped baseball before speaks volumes about how dire the money situation may become. The WCC or even one of the strong. D2 options may make more sense.I agree.
