Why has Cal not offered this kid?

I still look at those videos and wonder, how was he not good?

I fully admit initially jumping on the Hunter McClintock wagon, UK was so desperate for talent and those videos made so many people think we found the ultimate diamond in the rough. Then it came out he was atrocious when he played pick up with the team while on his visit and an offer wasn't going to happen.

If he continues the pace he's on, Zion Williamson has a shot at reaching Hunter McClintock status some day.
 
Because Cal strategically waits, even with the very best players. And it almost always works out great. It makes a UK offer seem like the most precious thing in the world to most kids, and UK doesn't lock itself in early to anyone when better players might be available.

Trust me, he knows who Cassius Stanley is.
 
He's a Cali kid. You'd think he'd stay out west, but I don't follow your recruiting close enough to know if his recruiting success reaches the west coast as well?

We get some west coast kids. Marcus Lee, Terrence Jones, Kyle Wiltjer. Just got P.J. Washington from Vegas.

You know it's bad when Gillispie didn't offer.
 
Don't forget about the mysterious South American point guard:

Why the hate on Zion? Isnt he a little different than some little 3 star nobody? A 6'8 athletic freak of nature, who can do it all is gonna be a bust? LMAO. That's stupid man.

McClintock breakin' ankles. HILARIOUS.

Unfortunately the joke was on most of us, who believed he was the second coming of Jerry West.

Thank you for the response. The kid can ball that's for sure!

Are you really questioning who Cal recruits? The greatest recruiter of all time, and you question who he recruits? Unbelievable.
Well you can obviously read. Just wondering why UK wasn't on his offer list. "Unbelievable" all ya want pal! If you don't like the post then don't reply. Pretty simple actually.
