    Winning solves a lot of problems.

      My theory is that Cal has struck out in part due to the freshmen class but not because portal players don’t think they’re as good. I believe it’s more about Cal’s history and what he covets as a coach.
      He's tried the age and experience thing the last two years, and we've mostly sucked. What is lost in all this is that Cal, for as much flak that he gets for being stubborn, actually did adjust his personnel methods, and found out quickly that it doesn't work for him.

      Back to the drawing board. A very, very young drawing board.

        Cal doesn't have it any more. And we're stuck with him. He's won 1 championship, and how long ago was that? He can't get the talent here. It's been so long that my lawn and landscaping drought worries me more than the UK basketball drought.

          Hard to tell if that was by design or just accidental because he couldn't fill out the recruiting classes the way he wanted.

          And we know he doesn't completely *not* want age and experience by the way he pushed for Dickinson, Oscar, and Johnson. So all of what's happening clearly isn't some scripted, blueprinted thing so that Cal can have this many freshmen. Mostly this is due to just the way the cookie has crumbled for us this off-season.

                Seth Greenberg carrying water for Cal again on Twitter and Goodman being Goodman. And MJ's comments get into NY Post. Things are great LOL

                  Our program has that death smell and no one wants to be a part of it.

                    A rumor I heard was that Burks postponed his decision because of Kaluma. He is expected to commit on Monday. Hope we finally get another player even if it's a freshman.

                      Just curious as to what goes on behind the scenes. Word was Kaluma was visiting and then a few hours later he is a K State player. Wonder what K State offered to get his commitment??

                        All the playing time he wants.

                          I'm gonna go ahead and assume Calipari reached out to Seth Greenberg and had him run interference for him after what Jones said last week.

                          Which is weaksauce, obviously. And it says so much about where we are as a program. When the coach is having to round up the friends he has in the media to defend himself...well, that ain't good.

                              Burks is a cat. Good addition. At least he can presumably score buckets. We'll see what Cal does with it.

                                One of the more mysterious players to sign on in the Cal era. Reminds you a little of Thiero last year.
