A 6-foot-4 combo guard from Bakersfield (Calif.) High, Wallace will stay in state.
According to multiple sources close to Wallace's recruitment, the four-star prospect picked Mike Montgomery's California program on Monday.
More recently, the Bears had been thought to be in a position where they had to make up ground. Whether that was true or not, Wallace is an important pickup for Cal.
A slippery combo guard, Wallace can be used as either a tall point or a versatile wing. He's a dribble drive scorer who also has a good feel for involving others.
Cal's other commitment in the class of 2012 is Colorado big man Kaileb Rodriguez.
