Way early but I bet Cal is thinking about it...

The five recruits coming in can beat our team right now.

From what I've seen and all that I've read and know about (this has been my favorite recruit of this class for over a year - really wanted him) the guy is a killer on the court. Absolute alpha dog. Dude is built like a brick chit house and wants to kill any hopes anyone has on the court. Monk has that killer instinct too, the only person that I feel is even close to that on our basketball team is Murray.

Not sure who this guy is, but saw him tweet it the other night. Maybe he hasn't seen many players, or maybe he has and Bam is better than even advertised.

Bilas had Sky in his Top 10. I realize how the draft works but that is simply staggering. It's not like he's just not as good as advertised - he can't even get on the freaking court. Glad I'm not the GM who has to decide to draft him.

Would certainly love to have Ulis here feeding the ball to next years studs. Highly doubtful, but if that comes to fruition...look out.

I could see Humphries transferring or encouraged to transfer. He's young, needs time to develop, and is a little over his head in terms of competition. Plus, he a Wynyard are basically the same guy, only with Wynyard being projected as better. I don't really see his role moving forward.

 

[Blueaz]

If he does, I hope he finds the heart that he lacks here thus far. I wish him the best regardless of what he does. I do think he's a quality young man, an extraordinary athlete and a little better than average, by UK standards at least, basketball player. I just don't think he has a passion for the game.

this...and it kills me...he seems like such a good, smart person.
Hell, he may never play in the NBA but own NBA team

I wouldn't be surprised if teams looked at his strength and driving ability and took a late first round flyer on him because you can teach a kid to shoot. I just see him as a confident kind of kid who wants to advance ASAP.

You cannot always teach a kid to shoot. I'm not sure where this logic comes from. Shooting is in fact a skill, so it can be learned, but bad shooters like Goodwin and Briscoe are never going to learn the art. They simply are bad shooters.

And yea I'm shocked cal didn't learn the first time and ended up with another guard who makes everything collapse.

Poythress, Lee, Murray, and Skal leave. Problem solved. Personally I think both Murray and Skal should return, but I doubt they will. If so Cal definitely has a problem. What's he going to do, ask Dom and Willis to give up their scholly's? Skal seemed to be showing some improvement against Ole Miss. Hopefully he does improve some which helps the team, and his draft status. Same for Murray who at times seems to be getting he should let Ulis penetrate, and get him the ball for an open shot. Seems like most every time he drives into the middle of the lane something bad happens.

Why in the world should Murray return? His issues are maturity of the game. That would be Roy-esque to ask a Top 10 pick to return in order to become a better decision maker.

Ulis is gone. He almost left last year. As the previous poster said, his stock will never get higher than it was last year.

Plus the fact that this years draft is one of the weakest in history factors in .

Yeah I'm not following that at all . Kids usually don't reclassify to stay in college an extra year . Plus there are a lot of NBA teams that would love to have him .
