Who Goes, Who Stays: 2021 Edition

good luck Mr Boston.....one of the more bizarre years I have seen with these kids. I thought Ben Simmons hung LSU out to dry......but I think we have two of those players.

still wrapping my head around the fact Kentucky went 9-16 and at least three kids are declaring for the draft.
hard to believe.

Hope BJ lives his dreams but I got more enjoyment out of the UK careers of J Juzang, Jamal Baker, Michal Mulder, Isaac Humphries, Hami Diallo and J Vanderbilt than this top 5 recruit. Not trying to pile on the guy but just not enjoying the culture.

We ARE college basketball.

Doesn’t surprise me Boston leaving or Clarke. Cal brought them here to play one season and that’s exactly what they did. I suspect Brooks will leave and the fact that Toppin has said nothing so far is troubling. Sarr is gone and reading what Mintz has said leads me to believe he has packed as well. Could easily lose 7 players off of a 9 win ball club. This is the monster that Cal has created and it is’nt changing in one offseason. Unless Cal strikes oil in the transfer portal next year will be very mediocre. If that happens I suspect Cal will hang it up or move on, and leave us in a total mess, not that we aren’t now.

Hard to see Cal giving up ~$50 million dollars voluntarily.

Cal deserves heat but so does Mitch for giving him this dumbassed contract.

Boston and Clarke could be addition thru subtraction. Brooks and Topin aren’t going anywhere, but does it matter one way or the other?

This is always one of the more interesting, most watched threads of the year, but right now, it just doesn’t seem to make any difference.

I found this one on another board:
Underachieve and on to the league

Brooks could still leave. The 3-5 spots will be clogged, and he (and Cal) may be wondering where he fits in the rotation.

IMO, the only thing Brooks brings to the court next year is experience. Unless he improves a lot.

He has some talent, and I’d like to see what he could do with an injury-free season in a junior’s body. But yeah, I hear you. Under normal circumstances I wouldn’t say our success hinges upon his return.

But, these aren’t normal circumstances. We are so desperate for continuity, for both on- and off-court reasons, that I’d take pretty much any non-walk-on returnee just to help us cleanse the Transfer U perception.

Continuity is a must right now.

LOL....instead of being the next UCLA dominant, it seems we are hoping for Loyola of Chicago steady

I love this. Print the t-shirts.
