Kent Ninomiya - Cal Bear fans everywhere are devastated by the news that wide receiver DeSean Jackson is skipping his senior year to enter the NFL draft. The move is not unexpected, however we all hoped he would return to help Cal improve on this disappointing season. Jackson actually had a disappointing season himself. He was injured and inconsistent, but when he flashed his athletic brilliance it was spectacular. It all came down to his draft projection. He is rated as the number one receiver in the next draft which means he'll likely be taken high in the first round and rake in millions. His disappointing 2007 season gave Cal fans hope he would come back to improve his draft status. Since apparently his performance didn't hurt him too much he is gone. Jackson's departure reduces Cal to "rebuilding" status. There are no star receivers to take his place. Running back Justin Forsett is graduating and it's unclear who will step up as quarterback. I fear Cal's time may have passed. Kent Ninomiya
