Lucky for us, ESPN analyst and former Virginia Tech coach Seth Greenberg happens to be a friend of both SEC Country and Calipari. While working the UK coach’s recent fantasy camp, Greenberg got to see the new team practice — and now he’s giving us the scoop on what he saw. Big picture first:

“Their overall length and athleticism is ridiculous,” Greenberg said. “This is the longest Cal team I’ve seen in a long time. They could legitimately start four 6-9 guys and a point guard — or Hami, a point guard and three 6-9 guys. Their versatility, their skill level, their athleticism, their length could be devastating defensively and at the rim.”

Between the feedback offered up by Greenberg and that of KAT (Karl Towns), I am excited to see what this team can do. Their athleticism is off the charts and they will be one of the fastest teams Cal has had here.

They will take some lumps early, but if they follow the plan Cal sets, they should be playing deep into March!

To be as big as they are with their speed makes for a special team.
