Kentucky tried that one year when they had the Harrison twins. It worked with moderate success until there were injuries and certain players struggled or didn't mesh. Cal ended up settling on more of a 7-8 man rotation.

Malik's 3 point shooting and ability to handle the ball were considerably better last season. There were times our guards were pressured full court that Malik ended up bringing the ball up the court. If he continues to improve those areas of his game, he might compliment Ballo better than we think. Imagine if Ballo's man helps out on Malik or tries to block his shot. Ballo will be free for lobs or put backs. That's exactly Ballo's game.

I see where you're coming from, but Leal usually seems hesitant to pull the trigger. Essegian, when healthy, seems more like a sniper ready to let it fly. Just my impression.

I like your odds on the first part, not sure about the second until we see who we get in the portal, and who UK gets as coach. I certainly hope YOU win!

I've seen some think they have a legit shot at Hurley. Stranger things have happened, but I just don't see it. I've also heard from down here that Oats has told them no at least twice.

B1G needs to put an end to rugby-ball. Purdue had their fun, but let's put an end to camping in the lane, then elbowing your way to an easy layup. Wisky seems like they're moving away from the overt physicality. Painter seems to have doubled down with his future centers. Now's the time, with our west coast additions, to send out a memo to all schools that the B1G is serious about playing modern basketball. That's the only way the B1G can start competing again.

Best team vs best player. Team always wins. Wasn't close.

I honestly don't know why people respond to that guy. Weak act.

The Edey elbows getting it a little less embarrassing.

Not sure we didn't play UConn better.

Absolutely. Edey is a stud. I don't agree with what he gets away with, but he is a generational player.

Purdue is completely outmatched

Although I didn't specify a specific pg, I was referencing an experienced, proven pg from the portal such as Rice or Carlyle. Cupps shouldn't have played more than 5-10 minutes per game last season; he wasn't ready for more than that. If we had filled our open scholarship with a proven combo guard last season, Cupps sits and learns. He doesn't come close to meeting my criteria.

Correct.

Spot on. It brought the dirty recruiting a little more above board. Cal double down on his previously successful recruiting philosophy of focusing on the 1 and done. As someone mentioned in regards to going after Boogie Fland, I'll take an experienced pg over his draft "potential" all day.
