Will be very talented, but very green. Quite similar to 2013-14. Hope we get Bolden to round out the class and have a deep front court.

Yea and I will start watching that team on March 1st. Im not sitting through another freshman led season. I'll pass on the drama. Why stress out? Tune in late season and skip the road losses and tweaks.

We went talent mixed with role player veterans this year and it was a marginal result . I'm eager to see what green but more talented looks like .

I would like to see talented youth mixed with at least ONE talented upperclassman. We've had good years when that's happened. Not so good in other years. We may not see another talented senior as long as Cal is here. And by talented, I mean someone who might be drafted, even if it's late 2nd round (Darius Miller).

2010 - Patterson
2011 - Jorts
2012 - Darius
2013 - lol
2014 - none, really - and it took 3 miracle Aaron Harrison shots to get us there
2015 - Cauley-Stein
2016 - none

Fox, Bam and Monk are a lock to start at the PG, C and SG respectively IMO.

I think Gabriel takes the SF spot...but if Briscoe comes back...it could be a battle.

I have no idea what happens at PF.

I don't think Lee or Willis will start next year.

I think you might be wrong, at least early in the season. Most of the freshmen that have come here have struggled early. They are overwhelmed with information and the attention they will be getting. Cal has started a lot of freshmen here primarily because there was not talented, experienced, talent returning. He'll have that next year and he'll be able to bring some guys along a little slower. I still think we have 3-4 freshmen start but not 5.

Fox/Monk/Briscoe/Willis/Bam ( even if we get Bolden ) . Lee is gone IMO as he has to be if we want Bolden .

Anyone thinking Lee is going to start next year are on crack.

\This isn't right.

Lee couldn't scare off a 2nd grader. Bolden isn't stupid he sees whats going on. And where is Lee gonna go? I hope you don't mean the draft. I really hope not.

Starting won't matter as much as who gets the most minutes and the freshman will be getting the vast majority in the minutes .

I know we're supposed to embrace the concept, but I'm honestly getting tired of the constantly re-invented one and done "all new" (but inexperienced) lineups year after year. I kinda miss the days when you could watch a group of players come together over a 3 or 4 year period.

I know he probably won't, but for purely selfish reasons I would LOVE to see Tyler Ulis come back and lead next year's team in an epic experienced POY-caliber year. That one move could transform next year from "OK, the same thing, here's this year's version" to "wow, this team is truly special.."

willis can be the guy imo. he showed glimpses this year as miller did his junior year. with the injury it's hard to say the last few games.

.Did you not see Briscoe and Willis play today? I dont think Briscoe comes back anyway...We have studs coming in bext year, but imo we wont win it with 5 fr starters, but they are our best players
Fox
Monk
Gabriel... If Willis gets off his *** and lives in the gym he could start here, but i dont see it
Bam
Bolden if we get him.
