I know you can’t believe anything Cal says but if all 6 do leave, plus Wallace, and then and a couple out of Livingston, Collins, Thiero, Onyenso transfer, that’s what this is.
The narrative is get in and get out asap. If you aren’t a one and done lottery pick, go anyway because that’s what you thought. For every WCS and IQ you have a dozen who have gone the first route.
The sad part is I think Cal is going to push several of these guys out the door. Then the narrative next year will be:
“We’re young”
“it’s a process”
“These kids think they poop ice cream.”
Someone said after the loss today, I got 5 words for you:

0 titles.
So pardon me for tempering my expectations for next season.
It’s always, next year, next year, next year. The common denominator is Cal.
1998 to 2012 was 14 years.
2012 to 2024 (at least) is coming up on about the same length of time.
This is not kentucky basketball. This is a sad reality.
