Whatever he decides, hope he gets to make the decision. Once everything got thrown off track, he played like crap, so whomever told him to hold off made a stupid decision in terms of how it impacted his play. He sucked at Peach Jam.
Hopefully his play at peach was mostly metal/pressure from all of that. And hopefully he can get his head straight again. He obviously has a ton of talent, but there will be a ton of pressure at Uk. Kinda worries me a little about him if that is indeed the case. Maybe he was just off.

There were a lot of top players off at Peach Jam.

If Bradshaw commits I don’t think it has any impact on DJ. After all, the supposed “beef” was that Bradshaw didn’t want to be in DJ’s shadow (which is weird cause he the top ranked player at his position). But nothing I’ve read implies DJ wouldn’t squad up with Bradshaw.

I see Bradshaw as a stretch 4 next to Kingsley. But if Collins comes back he definitely starts and then Bradshaw would have to battle Kingsley for starting 5 which I don’t think he would be down for and would de commit in that situation.

Having 7’ in College is not that great of benefit- they get pulled away and put in pick and rolls
Rather have a 6’9” 3 skill player
Playing big anymore is a disadvantage

I like lemonade tea and lightly sweetened but definitely prefer sweet Tea. Just like Coffee to me it’s too bitter with no sweetness.
I totally get you, now lemonade a whole another ball game, That Dole lemonade in a 20 oz bottle is very good. I love a good home made glass of lemonade. Sugar lemons.

I see Bradshaw as the small ball 4.

Small ball 4?

Bradshaw is a 7'0 Center.

A guy like Livingston, or Draymond in the NBA would be a "Small Ball 4", a guy who primarily probably plays the 3 but is capable and effective in the 4 spot, not a 7'0 Center who's ranked #1 at that position in his class.

Idk how Cal would use Bradshaw if Kinglsey is here, as well as a returning Ware/Collins, but a lot of "What ifs" there. I say take him and figure it out later.

Yeah you got me on my wording there for sure. I just meant stretch 4 though. His outside shot has received a lot of praise and even though he’s 7’ he’s too skinny to be a low post threat imo. Yeah AD made it work but on the flip side Skal not so much.

If Kingsley, Ware, and Collins are still here I’m not sure he’ll come.

Yeah I was actually really impressed with his outside shot in the Peach Jam footage I saw, was very impressed.

I'm still hoping for the staff to zone in on Ron Holland for that 4 spot, but they don't seem to be prioritizing him.

We'll see what this season holds, but I would be surprised if all 3 of those guys come back.

I agree Ralph but honestly DJ did as well. I personally watched DJ suck when they came to Louisville for the eybl too. Not sure what’s going on with DJ.

Yes. I've been critical of DJ Wagner for some time now. Just trying to bring reality to the picture of those who have expectations of some can't miss #1 prospect.

Justin Edwards earned the right to be #1 in this class coming out of the Summer.
