I am always concerned about every player Cal brings in concerning their ability to shoot the ball. Dillingham shot 32% from the three and 33% from the field during the regular season for the team he played for this season.
If Dilly doesn’t play
- Thread starter Wildcat-Lane
- Start date
Crazy right? Cal sacrificed a season to keep Chris Livingstons camp happy.
Yep. He was not effective at the 3. At the 4, yes. Soooo tired of this shit!
Basically what we are learning is that Cal only gets the recruits he promises the world too. He will sacrifice seasons for them to continue getting problem players. Sharpe, Askew, Wheeler, maybe Livingston? It’s a bad pattern, he’s really concerned with recruit rankings.
Sure wish CJ could’ve stayed healthy and the pressure would’ve been put on Cal to play that Benny lineup.
But your boy Livingston took a massive step forward, right?
Even healthy CJ wouldn’t save us. We need guys who are at least capable defensively. I know we didn’t get to see his best but he’s not a stopper that’s for sure. Combined with our other spots deficiencies it didn’t help either. At least they could score which is the name of the game though.
Our program is incredibly broken due to horribly misaligned priorities.
Still, that was the most efficient lineup in the entire country over the span of like 4 seasons. Cal still refused to play it. Played Wheeler instead. Then he STILL ended up quitting on us and the team.
What do you mean, "My boy Livingston"??
Honestly- what does that mean? Are you confusing me for some Livingston fan-boy or something??
And starts a thread to State losing a very highly regarded recruit wouldn’t hurt at all. I hope Dilly comes in and averages a double double. Makes the ignore feature the easy choice.
I'll say this, if Dillingham is gone/doesn't make it to Kentucky - the Portal will be VERY friendly for Kentucky. The lure of being THE starting PG (and with alllllll the NIL) at UK, with all the weapons surrounding you, will be VERY enticing. Last time around, Cal landed the SEC leader in assists. So IF there's an open PG position, Cal will quite literally be able to get whichever Portal PG he wants. My only concern is how long Dillingham takes to get all this cleared up - portal could dry up for sure
I damn sure don't want him, I was just adding something I saw on twitter.
The post I included specifically listed the schools that have reached out to Dunn, a high quality guard that teams like UConn and Gonzaga had reached out to WHILE THEY WERE IN THE ELITE 8 .... and UK was not listed.
Identify the best true PG in the nation coming back to college and do what needs to be done to get him on campus.
For those in the loop if Cal would have waited it out for Carr would we have ultimately got him? Don't forget Cal took Wheeler when Askew had not transferred and Hickman was still committed.
Dilly was one of the players I was most excited about getting. He is an offensive juggernaut that can willfully score anywhere he wants on the floor. Think Maxey, but better at facilitating and ball-handling. I also believe that Dilly is actually better than Maxey at creating his own shot, something UK has desperately needed the last couple/few years. So yes, losing Dillingham would be a significant blow.
I don't like DJ Wagner as a PG. Don't think he facilitates for others. He's a combo who is wired/built to score.
Is that you, Rashad McCants? Now I see how you made the Dean's List in "predicting the Future, 101." Speaking of felons from North Carolina, is that former convict still giving all your recruits free cars to drive around for the summer? You know, Wheels for Heels?
If it's Rashad, then you know someone wrote the post for him.
I'm beyond f****** sick of CCC orchestrating a sh***show of revolving-door inexperienced, new teams every year that won't accomplish jack-sh** in post season.
