HIGH SCHOOL all-americans. Big difference. That means nothing in regards to Poythress and Lee considering we have seen them perform at the college level and they are far removed from high school. Poythress certainly hasn't lived up to that status and Lee will finally get his chance...but that fact that they were high school all-americans means nothing at this point.

Where would we have beenin 13-14 if it wasn't for lee and poythress, where would we have been this yr without lee. Way too early to count these guys out.

I think Cal does his best work when his backs against the wall. Look at 2010-2011 for example. He played 6 guys almost exclusively (with Vargas playing mop up minutes). Our entire front line basically consisted of Harresllson(6-10), Jones(6-8), and Miller (6-7). Our backcourt consited of Knight (6-3), Lamb (6-4), and Liggins (6-6). 4 - 5-stars (4 McDonald's All-American's) a 4-star, and a 3-star.
2015-2016 will have a frontcourt of Skal (7-0), Poythress (6-8), Lee (6-9), and Willis (6-8). We will have a backcourt of Ulis (5-9), Briscoe (6-4), Mulder (6-4), and Matthews (6-5). Five 5-stars (four McDonald's All-American's), and three 4-stars. So, technically on paper, this seasons team is already more talented than 2010-2011 was, and I feel Cal will play 7 to 8 guys consistently on this team as opposed to 6 guys for that year.
The 10-11 team had some bumps, but finished the regular season at 22-8, won the SEC tourney championship, was a 4-seed in the NCAA-T and beat the overall #1 seed in Ohio State enroute to the Final Four, and was a missed three-pointer away from playing for the National Championship - finishing the season at 29-9. There's no reason to think this squad couldn't accomplish the same thing.
Half of our roster is filled with role players, including some of those same high school All-Americans.
Should be interesting. I think we'll be fine. Jaylen would have shored up some major issues and made Kentucky the favorite, but we'll make a good run of it again. Hopefully Cal loads up on the class of '16.

Would not consider Skal, Ulis, Briscoe, Poythress or Lee roles players. That leaves Matthews, Mulder, Willis, and Hawkins. 3 out of 4 of those guys would see significant PT on most division one programs outside of maybe dook, Kansas, Arizona, and UNC.
We are relying on the NCAA granting Skal eligibility and Poythress' repaired ACL.
