I think so. I watched his video a month ago and my head told me he was right then but I was hoping someone besides Oscar would get hot and could overcome Triple C’s poor coaching.Dead on!

9-16 is pretty rock bottom.lol we are so screwed.
We may not have even hit rock bottom yet.
His recruiting reminds me of how I used to play NCAA Football when I was a kid. I didn't know all that much about positions and style of play, so I would just start from the top of the ratings list and recruit every 5 star that showed interest. It works in a video game on easy mode. Not so much in real life.I have a really good friend that is a big VaTech fan. He regularly points out how "these just aren't the same KY teams from the early Cal days. Y'all were so much bigger, strong, faster at every position than everyone."
As simplistic as that sounds, thats what many of us are saying. We aren't getting the same elite talent and hoarding it like we were early on and Cal hasn't proven to be able to win big with traditional looking rosters. I've said it over and over, Cal can play the style he wants but if he is going to do that, recruit to that system. Get guards that are 6'5+, make sure you have length and a shot blocker at the 4 or 5 and get an athletic Randle/Jones type to compliment it opposite of the 4/5. Be BIG, play Bully Ball, Dominate the glass and defensive end, Drive and finish over ppl through contact and shoot a ton of free throws.
^^^^^That can still work even if it is ugly to watch. The issue is he would have to give up his pursuit of chasing #1 recruiting classes and prioritizing the NBA guys and recruit to the style he wants. If its a top30 recruit and NBA potential guy that fits that system then great....a lot of the springy 7 footers do and tall guards. But what we have been doing is just recruiting based on stars and trying to fit the pieces together afterwards....without getting the top 5 guys that truly fit the elite athlete mold Cal prefers.
Problem is, Cal has been having one of these moments for 7 years now.Every great coach has one of these moments. It is obvious people are upset but I believe the outrage is a bit over done here.
Yeah. No way he can be objective. 🙄“Neutral fan”
I can tell from the first 30 seconds he’s a fan of some random SEC school and probably has a bone to pick with Cal. No thanks.

Wow! Just wow! Some people are far too easy to please.Every great coach has one of these moments. It is obvious people are upset but I believe the outrage is a bit over done here.
This guy gets it.Following Cal’s flameout. He also predicted a month ago we were in trouble. It’s in a separate video.
LMAO you do realize the dozen or so troll socks that have appeared in the last 10 days are all Cal sycophants right? If anybody's fake it's you guys.“Neutral fan”

Not really. Cal doesn’t run an offense nor does he make adjustments (ever). If both of those do not change then our last two years will be the norm. Cal thinks he’s smarter than everyone so he has no plans to change.Every great coach has one of these moments. It is obvious people are upset but I believe the outrage is a bit over done here.
This is spot on. Cal’s system, such as it is, only works when he has superior talent all over the floor? Why? It’s simple. He relies on his players to be physically superior to the opponents. Bigger, faster, quicker. That way they can just physically dominate their man. It’s all man on man. When he doesn’t have that type of advantage, his players can’t get to the rim at will, can’t protect the rim, can’t stay in front of their man on defense, etc. It’s beyond obvious to anyone that pays attention. We still get good players but not dominate players. As a result, we can still win a lot of games but we’re vulnerable, especially against certain types of teams. His “system” will work, but only with those physical advantages which we do not have any longer.I have a really good friend that is a big VaTech fan.

Y’all have run off the rational fans with the extreme talk that Cal sucks ass. What’s left is what this board is now, where every thread somehow devolves into Cal is a POS who is poison and should be fired yesterday. It’s embarrassing but y’all have at it.LMAO you do realize the dozen or so troll socks that have appeared in the last 10 days are all Cal sycophants right? If anybody's fake it's you guys.

Been saying this since 2015Not really. Cal doesn’t run an offense nor does he make adjustments (ever). If both of those do not change then our last two years will be the norm. Cal thinks he’s smarter than everyone so he has no plans to change.
Exactly right. He only looks at their ranking. And you cannot start 5 boys straight out of HS and expect to go far unless you have a Davis type, maybe. We had the rt. Mixture this past yr and the coach screwed it up.I have a really good friend that is a big VaTech fan. He regularly points out how "these just aren't the same KY teams from the early Cal days.
