Even if Allen doesn't return, Cal will find a transfer that can come in and contribute immediately. Clark apparently didn't feel like he could come in and get the amount of playing time that he wanted. So, if Clark doesn't feel like he can compete, why would anyone sweat it that he chose to go elsewhere? I know I'm not.
Wagner reclassifying was my first thought.
I literally said "I'm not saying he is leaving, but it's always a possibility." What about that points to me wanting him gone or peddling a belief he was? I do think we are in the last couple of years of the Cal era, so it wouldn't come as a shock if it happened at any point. I definitely don't want it to because I don't think a good successor currently exists.
Livingston can play on the perimeter but I think most view him as a SF/Stretch PF kind of player . I can’t see him being the 2 guard in any lineup .Simply because I mentioned it as a possibility?
He is a SG/SF who will play on the perimeter shooting and attacking the rim off the bounce.
247Sports "Chris Livingston is a 6-5, 170-pound Shooting Guard from Akron, OH."
Tremendous physical build for a wing. Has explosive athleticism and can make plays in traffic. Loves to attack the rim. Has a powerful spin move to finish off drives. Shoots it well enough from deep but an area for improvement. Handles well in space but needs to tighten and refine his handle. Can deliver a pass on the move. Active player who comes up with balls off the glass and the floor. Has great potential as a multi positional defender.
But I'm sure you know better!
That happens a lot but not in Clark case . Plenty of people have questioned how good he is . He still could be pretty good but don’t act like this message board was calling this kid a superstar . Maybe a few it damn sure wasn’t the majority .Just like that, Clark wasn't that good and scared of competition.
Last week, Clark was a superstar for next year!
I actually like what may happen. Cal should target top 15 freshmen and seek to fill out the rest of the roster with good transfers. I'll take a Reid Travis/Oscar Tshiebwe any day of the week. And hopefully, more guys will stick around with NIL, as you said. I like the balance between great freshmen and experienced transfers.
I said he would never play here not long after he committed. No surprise. I got roasted pretty good by some on here for saying it though.
And mix in a Sestina, as well. Not expected to lead you, but a really good college role player.
Cal is not going anywhere
I don’t think anyone would consider him a PF. And he certainly won't play that on next years team with Brooks, Toppin, Collins and Hopkins potentially on the roster fighting for minutes there. He is going to be a primary 3 for us who may slide into the 2 depending on if we want to go more physical and atheltic at times. He and Fredrick will likely split time at the 3. Fredrick will slide over to the 2 when Wallace has to sit or needs to switch to PG to spell Wheeler. When Fredrick isn't available, it will be Livingston that has to fill that hole.
You know everyone dumped on Boston. Put him on this team and I’d bet he would be as good as TYTY. Concentrate on 1-12 ranked guys and fill in as needed. The whole country can see how Mintz and Grady and Oscar have been embraced and loved by BBN. Who would not want to come here and have a shot at a title
Don't let SGA hear you say that. JK
We will see but I’m almost certain there is a way better chance Livingston ends up on the floor as the 4 in a small ball lineup than he is at SG.
Cal’s not leaving. May be Wheeler’s coming back. I’ve not been that enamored with Clark anyway.
Yeah who would pass up the prom to come play for UK and experience the gold standard.
Lol, who is going to coach with small ball lineup? Everyone here knows Cal would go 5 centers with no shooting or ball handling skills before he would go small. We had a great roster for doing it this season and haven't attempted it one time.
I'm talking about his age.He would have to stay at UK 2 seasons if he were to reclassify because of the NBA age rule.Yeah who would pass up the prom to come play for UK and experience the gold standard.
Ok. Two years at UK or rectangle pizza for lunch. Tough choice.
Livingston weighs 220 lbs now. He is NOT a 2 guard. This kid is a strong SF with perimeter skills.
I don't know if he would be or not but he'd definitely be better, and more importantly, if he wasn't, it wouldn't matter, there is enough talent and experience to make up the difference. This team has won without TyTy. Last years team couldn't win with Boston.
