Just remember how many misses Cal had this spring: Bragg, Brown, Stone, Zimmerman, etc. be glad Murray came a year early

Wait for next year. Hope to win as many as this sad team can. Then clean some house before next year. If you can't play for this team you won't next year. Some players need to look to other programs

Who in this class that we "whiffed" on is tearing up college
Basketball? Newman ? Zimmerman ?

I will give u stone but he was out of the picture early.

This class as a whole stinks. Half of top ten next year would get drafted over this class

What the hell. Run off players who didn't light the world on fire as true freshmen? What kind of low character coach would ever do that? Hopefully not Cal. You know, some very good players just need a year or two to come into their own. Not every 5 star recruit is a one or two and done type player.

We didn't fall victim to whiffs as much as recruits underperforming relative to their recruiting rank.

Skal and Briscoe aren't as good as what we should have reasonably expected and we haven't had the necessary "surprise" compensation, "the Jorts," from a returning player. That's why rather than a top 10 team, we have a borderline top 25 team.
