You mean the coaching staff that just landed the #1 class in America? That staff?

Everyone keeps talking about Justice as an ace recruiter, and maybe he is, but I miss having former NBA players and high level b-ball players (Strickland, Antigua) coaching, but I’ll admit I have no idea.
He's the one I'd prefer to see out. Some reasons are not going to be mentioned on a public forum, but the ass kissing yesterday was ridiculous and embarrassing. Gold Star for Joel for sucking up to Cal with that lame tweet that had 0 to do with anything other then kissing his boss's ass.
I still think Harms is vastly overrated on this board. Yes, he could provide rim protection right up until teams figure out they just need to put him in a pick and roll and get him guarding on the perimeter. Unless Cal changes his defensive philosophy I think the guy would get exposed.
I remember watching the Tacko vs. Zion game.....Tacko's size alone gave Duke fits and almost gave them the upset.
Zion still got his...but even a generational talent like Zion and that Duke team struggled

Sure. The most recent recruiting class just happens to be number 1.
Anybody complaining about Cals recruiting is objectively an idiot. The problem for Cal is recruiting current players to actually stay, but he’s still a phenomenal recruiter and great talent evaluator. No way to even question that.
Well, that’s right about what we are going after right now. If you and anyone else can’t see that there’s a problem then you need to open your eyes. Or more likely y’all see it but just don’t want to believe it.
First time I had watched Zion play. Refused to watch Duke games. In that Taco vs Zion clip it is amazing how much Zion reminded me of Jamal Mashburn. Almost the same body size and both were amazing at creating their own shot and very flexible for their size. Both could step out and hit the 3 as well.
Aha, "troll". The retort that reveals the responders low, very low IQ.
You are the one that needs to open their eyes. However it might be more important to open your brain. That is if you have one.
Yea, because god knows we don’t already have two top 5 players and the number one recruiting class. If you and anyone else can’t see how lucky we are to have Cal, and not some half assed recruiter that only made one final four, You need to open your eyes.
We’ve had a legitimate chance at a title all but 3 years of Cal’s 11 year tenure, and that’s still not good enough for some of you people. We’ve won 8 titles in 80 years of possibility. Cal is right on that average, but I can guarantee you no other coach gave us a legitimate title shot 70+ % of his tenure. Rick was close, no one else. Couple calls go our way we have 2-3 right now.
Some people can only see through misery’s eyes.
So, the number 1 recruiting class in the Nation doesn’t mean anything to you?
My argument is that there is insufficient data to assume that he can handle an 18 game SEC schedule based on one game against a smallish SEC team.
The experts thought Whitney was good. Anyone can be a recruiting “expert”.
Think for yourself every now and again.
Question things sometimes, it’s good for you. Kinda like how the government doesn’t always know what’s best for everyone. Don’t be a sheep (Cal nutswinger)

I honestly do not know which one will better, I am sure Cal knows which one he prefers. I’ll let him decide. LOL!
I do know that Big Ten competition is consider light years ahead of A-10 competition.
I also know that Haarms has NCAA experience. He played in the Elite Eight vs. eventual champion UVA in 2019.
I also know that Haarms is 8 inches taller than Santos-Silva.
So my opinion is we should covet the 7’3 Big Ten post player with big time NCAA tourney experience over the 6’7 A-10 post player with limited NCAA tourney experience.

You already said LSU had no starter taller than 6'6". We know how that turned out. So your opinion means nothing.
If the Cats continue having a revolving door, then this approach is the exact approach Cal should employ. Grab experienced grad transfers or other transfers who can play at this level and who can compliment super-talented, but inexperienced, freshmen.
to me , that the choice ( if we had one ) isnt as plain as the nose on your face is amazing. Haarmes far far >>> what ever his name is . Santos ?
Don’t be rude please.
I was a little off with Watford being a little taller than I thought.
I guess you have never been wrong before. Good for you.
Take care and God bless.
Exactly, it is this or start getting 2nd level in state kids that can evemtually contibute and will likely hang around
Pretty much gotta axe the Juzang and Baker type recruits.
Regardless of LSU's size they had some of the best athletes in the country hands down.
True.
Maybe I should just say that one game against an SEC opponent does not provide enough evidence to suggest that he can handle an 18 game SEC schedule.
I think I was trying too hard to emphasize that LSU did not have a monster inside like Richards for UK or Perry for Miss St. or Blackshear for UF.
Their lack of size compared to other SEC teams is probably inconsequential.
I would still rather have Harms but 6'7 250 is big enough if you know to use it. He would bulldoze a 6'10 190 freshman 5 star!
Not all number one recruiting classes are the same. See 2013. Yes, we have two high level recruits coming in that will probably be ballers from day one. But after losing as much as we lost off this last team, we need more than two difference makers to come in. The rest of the class looks good but most experts describe these guys as "raw." That won't cut it next year. We need a third stud from somewhere if we're gonna be serious title contenders next year like a Kuminga or Banchero.
They are two different players who would actually compliment one another. We need both tbh. We need a banger and a rim protector
