Myles Baker commits to Cal: ‘Tosh really sealed the deal for me’
Chatsworth (Calif. ) Sierra Canyon defensive back Myles Baker just announced he’ll play his college ball for the Cal Bears. We knew Cal was doing well with Baker, but the early commitment is still somewhat of a surprise.
He recently told us he planned to take all of his visits and had several un-official and official visits locked in. As of a month ago, the feeling was LSU was the team to beat but a recent trip to Berkeley radically changed his entire recruitment. “My visit to Cal really sealed the deal for me,” Baker said.
“I have a strong connection with the coaching staff and it was great to be around everyone. “I watched the team practice and seeing how Tosh (Lupoi) runs the show really sold me. Everyone is on the move, it’s high intensity and they got a lot of work in.
I just loved the environment and the overall culture Tosh is building there. ” Baker already had a relationship with Lupoi and a few other coaches from when they were at Oregon and that played a big role. “Tosh played a huge role for sure,” Baker said.
“When we sat down and talked, it was probably the best meeting I’ve had with any head coach. “There was so much intent and meaning to everything he said. He’s very intentional about everything he’s doing.
