Jared Vanderbilt

[Jbapp1978]

If this has been discussed I openly apologize up front. I was wondering why he has not signed yet. Since he has not signed does that mean he could jump ship?
On a more positive note.
1 Quade Green 5*
2 Diallio. 5*
3 Vanderbilt. 5*
4 Washington. 5*
5 Richards. 5*
6 Bamba. 5*



If these players stay.
7Jones. 5*
8 Briscoe. 5*
9Bam. 5*
9A Gabriel. 5*
10 humphries. 4*?
11 Alexander. 4* (35th) overall #2CG #1 ST.

This could be the best team Cal EVER assembled. A LEGIT 11 DEEP!
EDIT: if we get Bamba.
I missed Gabriel SMH, that 12 deep 10 5*'s wow!

You can't just sign a LOI at any point. He committed in December after the early signing period. He will probably sign in the spring period (April 12). Even if he doesn't it's not a big deal, Brandon Knight never signed a LOI only scholarship papers.

 

[Jbapp1978]

I believe that gives use 6 players 6'10 and higher.

Two teams in practice could be like this;

PG-Q Green 6'1/170. PG-I Briscoe 6'3/210
SG-H Diallio 6'5/195. SG-S Alexandr 6'5/185
SF-J Vanderbilt 6'8/213 SF-WG 6'9/213
PF-P Washington 6'8/230 PF-BAM 6'10/260
C-N Richards 6'11/235 C- M Bamba6'11/210
Reserves but getting way better next year
PF -SKJ 6'10/240. C-I Humphries 7'0/265.

Damn we are gonna be set next year!

Lots of variables have to go into that team even happening, but dang it would be good if it could.

Not counting on Bam coming back though

Bamba and Richards will play together quite a bit I believe.
Richards looks like he is playing on 9 foot rim, with the way he dunks it on the way up. He's every bit the leaper wcs was

I think there is zero chance Briscoe returns.

I think there is zero chance Briscoe returns.

Which school will he go to? Why would he want to wait a year to play his 3rd year in college?

 

[BigKari]

He would be going pro. Most likely D-League or overseas.

 

[TNCatfanforever]

If he does he will start

We have missed this the last two years.

The negative side is this:

So I have to think it will be somewhere in between the 2 scenarios.
If Bamba comes or Bam stays, Hump is gone. Not a concern.
If Gabriel stays, SKJ most likely gone. Again no playing time if that is a major factor for him.
Does Gabriel want to go pro or is it more fan speculation. He is not ready.
Same for Briscoe.
Diallo is in the teens for 2018 draft, if he chooses to he could come out this year. Not sure if he is allowed to test waters this year since he did not play.

I would hope everybody stayed in that scenario because of title hopes, and amazing practices getting the other less skilled guys ready for 2018. But it wouldn't surprise me if a few left.

Will never say best team ever until I watch them vs good competition. Seems that has been thrown around a lot yet people forget that someone or two always comes in and isn't as ready as we thought they would be. Plus this team being Cals youngest team ever will go through some lumps as they adjust to not being able to over power or out quick l, out jump everyone like they used to.

Tenn will be a rude awakening for the freshmen like they have been every year as they wonder how guys 4 inches shorter than them and more muscular keep out rebounding them and scoring over them/out hustling them. Expectations should be tempered a tad bit for he first half of the season and more so during this off season

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

D-League players, unless already signed to a good contract make jack squat. If he foregoes another year to do that, he's crazy. MJ says he hates school though, so he may pursue any opportunity he can.

But, can they shoot?

 

[UKcatXXXL]

I think the biggest questions are Gabriel and SKJ

do either stay.........neither stay.......?
