Granted, he was not a OAD and Cal struggles to coach those kinds of guys but he had the talent to play here.
Yeah no for sure, I mean Cal has never had any success with non-freshman from a development standpoint.
Cal just can't coach those dudes.
Except:
Oscar (2 time All American and National Player of the Year)
WCS (1st team All American as a Junior)
Immanuel Quickley (SEC POY as a Sophomore)
Nick Richards (Turned into an NBA Draft pick and NBA role player and had a dominant year as a Junior)
Tyler Ulis (SEC POY and First Team All American as a Sophomore)
Terrence Jones (National Champion and Lottery Pick)
Doron Lamb (National Champion and NBA Draft Pick)
PJ Washington (Lottery Pick and 1st team All SEC)
Josh Harrelson (Final Four and an incredible turnaround for a player we all thought was terrible)
Darius Miller (National Champion and NBA Draft Pick)
DeAndre Liggins (Final Four and incredible turnaround)
Jacob Toppin (We all saw what he became this year)
I could go on and on these are just some of the first that come to mind.
