Past recruitments

Wiggins by far. Seemed like he should have been a lock. Mo Bamba was another that seemed like a missing piece.
Wiggins going to Kansas took me by surprise.
Not even close , Ralph Sampson.
We probably would've won the natty that year if we had a shooter like X on the team. This is my pick. Easily.
Brandan Wright and Tyler Hansbrough. Brandon Bass is another one
Hansbrough sticks out in my mind. That was devastating.
Everyone thought Jaylen brown was coming here because he committed to Cal. And he did. Just the Berkeley kind.
Really wanted Andrew Wiggins. His online mixtapes were crazy.
Really wanted Zion too.
Really wanted Zion too.
Second that..... him and Bowie, give me strength ..... and Turpin
I still feel like if Cade had come here then the last third of Cal's career might well look totally different and he might still be here now. Not saying I want that at all, given where we are now.
Henry didn't even get recruited by us. As soon as cal left to come here he committed to Kansas within days. Seems like I read somewhere that Wall said he didn't want to play with Henry too
I would say this one but we won the championship without him so I can say I’d go back and change that if I could.
The days leading up to Marques Bolden committing to Duke was the craziest last few days I’d ever seen for a recruitment."The University of Duke"
And it turned out it was for a dude that did absolutely dick.
That one too took the staff by surprise.
Ole Ralphie might have had a NCAA c'ship in his resume had he came here.
It was worse when he was already there and they still kept loading up on 5 stars. Wright and Deon Thompson were the final straw for me.
Was a little before my time but man I can imagine the buzz with Sampson Bowie and Turpin must have been crazy exciting!
I never thought UK had Zion, but I sure as s*** didn't think he would join "the brotherhood".
Mo Bamba for me. Calipari going to all the trouble taking Quade Green because he was going to help deliver his PSA Cardinals teammate....then Cal setting up the lunch with President Clinton in Harlem only for Bamba to choose Shaka Smart and Texas. Not just losing him but who they lost him to. Gross.
Wiggins was given signing bonus by Adidas and a signature shoe deal upon going to the NBA for choosing Kansas. Never forget the Twins saying "**** Andrew Wiggins" too. That was hilarious.
Never felt UK was even remotely close to landing Zion after the Italy trip with Adidas where he said "Wherever Immanuel Quickley goes, is where I'm going" and then Zion was removed from that 19U roster that Cal had tryout for Team USA team. It was over.
