If Cal were forced to coach Miss St or Vanderbilt, he would not make it to the NIT Tournament.

There is no bigger fraud in all of college basketball, and the fact that he has the University on the hook for his contract should get everyone involved in that decision ****-canned and banished from the state.

Is there some way to put Mintz's aggressiveness and willingness to shoot into Grady's body. They did that once on Star Trek I believe.

One thing is he needs work harder to get his feet ready to shoot on the catch. He often takes too much time to gather himself, so he isn’t open by the time he does.

I read someone say that Grady needs to watch Rip Hamilton film and move like him…although Kellen may not be in good enough shape to run the defender into the ground the way Rip did.

The first two years after will suuuuuuuck. I just don’t know who can recruit like he can.
He's recruited for us the last 6 years and it's made little difference. Meanwhile, Baylor, Nova, Gonzaga, UVA and KU are routinely better than us in that span and don't recruit as well.

Does Cal teach everyone to bite on the first fake?
It’s been a staple of his teams. He so in love with blocking shots it’s leads to defenders going for every shot fake.
And weak side defenders leaving their guy, going for a block, and giving up offensive rebounds. Year after year.

That movement and the pass to Oscar was the best offense I’ve seen all year. Guys have to be willing to keep moving.

Part of that is a symptom of playing 3 bigs against teams playing a bunch of guards.

one big gets blown by and then everyone is in help/rotate/scramble mode so 2 passes later there is an open shot
Hell we should’ve taken the All American Kofi Cockburn from Illinois if we was going to double up on bigs anyway!

Which means SEC officials will have him out at 15 min mark.

Cal might need to tell him to pull back on defense and rebounding.. just so we keep him the game..


The score and game runs literally hinge on Oscar. When he's in, we extend the lead.. when hes not, they pull it closer.

Agree on Cockburn. If Cal was going to play 2-3 bigs at a time might as well have had two All American caliber players.
