He looks good but we all know how this goes....

 

[RunninRichie]

Need to ask Coach Bradshaw if it's ok to recruit him.

 

[Smashcat]

 

[Wildcats1st]

U17? Another child? Hard pass

 

[westerncat]

But can he play defense ? This is what Calipari seems to look at.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Would like to see Kentucky be interested but it’s probably not very likely. He looks like a player would go after

 

[JwUKFan11]

Can't really remember us getting involved with any EU prospects in the last 10 years. I think there may have been something with Dennis Schroder and maybe 1 more but nothing serious.

 

[Catfanlou]

Sign him up . Looks good

 

[Smashcat]

Sign him up . Looks good

Probably only going to get better as well.

 

[bnewt]

good thing Arizona is out of spots or they would probably get this guy too

 

[YardCat]

39% from 3, sign him up.

Cal can have him in the low 20’s by the end of the year.

 

[JerseyCat84]

Looks like the type of player Gonzaga covets.

 

[ganner918]

U17? Another child? Hard pass

He just turned 18. He's the age an incoming freshman should be.

 

[Zissou87]

39% from 3, sign him up.

Cal can have him in the low 20’s by the end of the year.

Plenty of stuff to blame Cal for, but the "Cal ruins shooters" is bogus.

It's not bogus. He doesn't run sets for shooters. In fact, it's one of the most legitimate criticisms of Cal.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

People want this kid but also hate having so many freshmen. Same age.

 

[bookerfan66]

People want this kid but also hate having so many freshmen. Same age.

Cal waited this late so now pickings are slim.Not many choices out there.

 

[HerrosHeroes]

39% from 3, sign him up.

Cal will have him in the low 20’s by the end of the year.

FIFY

There aren’t many options left, when you have 7 players you can’t be picky

Same thing I was thinking. Would he really give us any real help we need?

 

[bucsrule8872]

At this point, we need something on our bench. We only have 7 players right now, so we can’t be too picky.

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

Cals just gonna wait until guys beat his door down to join his team. Why chase after anyone.

 

[Cawood86]

Really pointless to consider any of these players. Cal ain't gonna make any moves.

 

[ORCAT]

True, I agree, but we also need some experience to go with all these young guys and there is still some out there in the portal. Especially if all were trying to do is add some bench players. Guys who can contribute some but aren't necessarily stars. Can't just go with little than nothing but freshmen and a couple returning players who played very little last year. I also doubt we see any of our trio of NBA guys coming back at this point.

Oscar leaving would hurt the most.We really need a starting center as I don't Ugo as anywhere near ready.

Sure hope I'm wrong but it seems like he is intent on being in the League. Wish the best for him but would love to have him back another season and he would likely make more NIL money here than in the G League or end of bench in the NBA. Keeping fingers crossed but not counting on it.

 

[natchezrule]

He can’t play D

 

[seccats04]

What's his wingspan? Hand width? Vertical? These are the most important traits in a basketball player.

 

[ncaaky]

It's not bogus. He doesn't run sets for shooters. In fact, it's one of the most legitimate criticisms of Cal.

Every transfer he has had who was a high volume shooter, shot a better percentage from deep under Cal.

Ideally, we need experience. But at this point, we need bodies.

True. Except for Fredrick

I find it hilarious our fan base shits on a guy that shoots 31% and loves a guy who shoots 39%

2 more makes out of 25 shots isn't a huge difference

 

[UKReedY]

Wear black face and speak like Tyler Herro, Cal might offer!

 

[WildcatNC]

Need to ask Coach Bradshaw if it's ok to recruit him.

Not enough minutes at the 3 for both of them.

 

[kywildcat41035]

good thing Arizona is out of spots or they would probably get this guy too

They could always make room

 

[track42]

They could always make room

Johnson would likely leave then if he was really that worried about playing time.

 

[WildcatNC]

They could always make room

Hell, I posted on Facebook I was transferring to a different department at work and got a call from Arizona and Arkansas. They are wild.
