Askew?

Welp, he just committed to Texas to play for Chris Beard
Let's see what Beard can do with him. Lot of people like that guy here.
Beard loves guards that can straight line drive and shoot 3s, so he's got his work cut out for him here.
I hope Beard likes guys that dribble the ball above their waist into a double team.
Good for him but if him wanting to leave had anything to do with being yelled at by Cal then he doesn't know what's coming. Beard is a good coach. But he absolutely lights up people!
Pick up your dribble one time at the elbow coming off a screen right into a double team. See what happens then.
Once he realizes he's not a point it'll be better for him.

The kid is going to get better and end up being a pretty decent player. I liked his determination and drive and wish we could have kept him for a couple more years
Beard is a knight descendant as well. Though Antonio Andrews could tell you, that cal can easily be a Bob Knight type.
I like DA, he played hard and never quit. He has limitations, but will improve enough to be a solid guard for a good program. He will play - maybe not start next season, but maybe he will. In the right system, he can be very stable. Wouldn’t have minded keeping him, but would have had to have been coming off the bench next season.
I thought he said he was built different and would not transfer?
Absolutely. He'll be very good. There are very few reclassified frosh who have to carry to whole load on their shoulders from day one. Beard is taking candy from a baby.
I'm not sure a lot of you all watched askew play basketball last year. He is turrible. Maybe the worst recruit Cal has ever had.
He proved he can block out the yelling and do his own thing, he had a year of practice.
What Askew lacks in talent, he makes up for in playing hard. If Boston or Clarke played with half the energy Askew did, we wouldn't have been so bad.
Determination and drive?! The same determination and drive that caused him to transfer from the greatest college basketball program of all time, even after getting an undeserving 30 minutes a game?! Even after he said he was going to stick it out at UK. The kid possesses neither IMO.
