I agreed with passing on Rancik if he wanted to start. Even if we miss on Freeman, I still believe that to be the right decision. Can’t lock in a borderline top 100 portal guy as a starter mid April with everything on the line for Pope this year. Continue to big game hunt where possible with Euros as your fallback.
Dont promise starting spots to anyone & say everyone has a chance to EARN a starting position at the beginning of June. Last year we knew that OO was a starter but the rest were up for grabs especially after Lowe got hurt & JQ was rehabbing.
Garrison , Noah , Mo D , OO , & Chandler started a first game. Many changes occurred during season . Jelly ended up a starter with MM & Kam getting the nod along with Aberdeen.
Cal’s biggest flaw was promising starter spots during recruiting & not judging current on court talent instead of Stars plus High School resumes.
