With the addition of Mitchell and him possibly being the last piece, what is everyone’s thoughts on the potential for this team? Do you think they are serious contenders for a title?

This team feels a lot like every team we have fielded since 14-15. We are always a piece or two short of being great.
A lot better with Mitchell and Reeves
We got enough talent.......but the coach is the problem. Unfortunately, he would be happy with 20-12 season and 5 draft picks.
Hard to say.
We will probably be very rough in Fall.
Probably looking really good by February
And then in March it will be the usual dice roll.

At this point I think it would be optimistic to say we coukd be a Sweet 16 team, and that coukd be a stretch. Just really too many unknown factors at this time. I've learned not to get too excited after the past several years.
I completely agree with this. Our coach is behind the times and refuses to change. This is a Sweet 16 team at best and then the coach will blame it on how young the team was instead of his coaching.
Maybe develop some inbounds plays and an offense that frees shooters up more for starters. Quit relying on just pure athletes and recruit some actual basketball players. Go more to a present day NBA offense. Just a few things off the top of my head. His games is outdated.
26-9, 25-10 type season. Sweet Sixteen. 2018-level talent. We've got 4 guys who I would equate in that Kevin Knox/Brandon Knight level of ability. No real stars on this team. Edwards is the closest but I wouldn't even call him a star.
I think you’re underrating the overall talent on this team. Solid all the way through. I could see different guys stepping up every game.
Lots of bball iq guys on this team. Many combinations. Thankfully guys who can handle the ball and pass. Shooters.
As disappointed as I’ve been I’m really excited about watching this group
It’s nationally known that his offense doesn’t work anymore. More than one sports writer has called his offense antiquated.
What is wrong with being a Sweet 16 team? When has Cal ever blamed his team for anything? He always tells the fans to blame him when the team plays badly.
