Cal may have lost the Big Three, but another trio could be on the horizon. The Bears have to move on this season without accomplished linebackers Zack Follett, Worrell Williams and Anthony Felder.

"The Bears defense, dare we say it, in a conference lorded over by USC, might actually end up as the Pac-10's best unit." -ESPN's Ted Miller The Bears "Bend but don't break" defensive philosophy shows in the fact that while the unit finished fourth in yards given up per game, the Bears gave up less than 20 points per game in 2008 .

IN THE 82 days since a Pac-10 team played a basketball game, three schools have changed coaches and seven underclassmen have entered the NBA draft.

Grissom picked the Jayhawks over an offer from Colorado State. He has also drawn interest from Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Kansas State and Missouri.
