I have a feeling he has played himself in the NBA draft... he could easily be a mid first to early second round PG... I think this is his ceiling..

It’s probably a blessing we didn’t sneak into tourney and get run out of gym by Oral Bob. I think this team beats us by 25.

Imaging Mintz, Boston, Allen or Askew trying to guard their perimeter guys ...

I would love to have him but have to say I would admire the guy if he stuck around to finish what he started.He's already got tons of publicity.

I really like him. Even when he makes bad plays he can make up for it instantly on offense. When they double him he often just dribbles right around it. Just a joy to watch.
Needs to chill on some of the hero 3s though, 3 of his deep deep 3 attempts he could have easily gotten right up on the line for the shot, and he missed 2 of them short.

That's because we have crappy regular seasons. I know I know nothing about basketball but at least I understand that the reason Kentucky has a low seed is because they lose to freaking Evansville.
how long you gonna whine about that game? Did we turn the season around and end up with one of the best teams in the country? Yes!

Statistically Cal has a much greater chance than Jay. Its not like Cal's teams have sucked post 2015. He has had 3 teams "capable" of winning it: 2017, 2019, 2020. 2 of those fell just shy of a final 4 & last year we'll never know.

2020 team had the components to make a deep run. Shot the 3 well. One of the best free throw shooting teams in the nation. Nick was playing great. 3 really good guards. Defended very well.
You can throw out all the hypotheticals you want. Fact of the matter is, we didn’t have a tourney last year, so it’s all moot. We would’ve needed a healthy and engaged Hagans for a title to have been possible.

My issue is that even IF Cal builds a contender, they’ll do everything possible to derail our title hopes. We will have to be 15 points better than the field in order to win it all. It’s just the way that it is. It will remain that way as long as Cal is here.

I want a coach that will be allowed to win titles here. A coach that’ll get a fair shake and a fair whistle. We’re behind the 8 ball before we even take the court with Cal as our coach. We’ve seen it time after time after time. I’m honestly exhausted from it.

So far, every evaluation I have seen, says he would not get drafted.
It’s his size that is the problem. 6' 1" is okay, but he's only 165lbs and has a thin frame.

Guess it would depend on what other players wouod return to Oral Roberts. They have some well coached guys.

He can’t do anything until the kid goes in the portal. We have no idea if he is or isn’t.
You can in round about ways it happens all the time.
Heck why would that kid want to come here and ride the bench behind all of Cals 5 star duds, have a terrible record, and miss the tournament. He's on his way to the elite 8 with ORU!
Thats like saying why would someone like to upgrade from a 99 Honda to a corvette for free.

Cal was quoted today as saying this about the Texas job

"I mean like" "Hey I told the kid shoot it" but "Come on give 10% more" "Goooooooo" "Dontae" "We've had to deal with Covid" "We eat first" "Look a squirrel!!"
