Pair of Bears...

California running back Jahvid Best returned a pair of 4x6 photos care of the Bears' athletic department in just under two weeks. A First Team All-PAC 10 and Second Team All-America selection last year, Best ran for over 131 yards per game, third best in the country in 2008.

Also signing was Cal teammate Syd'quan Thompson, who returned a pair of 4x6 photos care of the Bears' athletic offices too. Thompson, one of the top cornerbacks and punt returners in the nation, was also a First Team All-PAC 10 selection in 2008.
