I think this one will bite us in the ass more than once.

Ugh. Another 5-star snubbed by Cal who will go on to have a stellar career elsewhere...this time at one of our conference rivals.

Things are not good in UK land, folks.

Six good guys from the transfer portal. Seems like he is having a whole lot better time this year than old Cal. This doesn't put Collinf in Texas but he will be a whole lot closer to home in Baton Rouge.

Have we got anyone from the portal this year? I think all the good ones are gone. These Freshman better be the real deal or we are in for a long year. Of course, with Cal at the helm it will probably be a long year no matter what.

I had hope when I saw Cal had landed a bevy of Top 10 players this year. However, as I have read more about the high school class it is a consensus that this may be one of the worst overall high school classes at the top in the last 20 years.

So yeah, Cal landed a bunch of top 5/top 10 guys, but it appears that in most years they would have probably been top 20 to top 30.

We will see.

That's not good news. I hadn't heard that and I hope they are wrong. If not, we are in for a long season. We really need 2 of the 3 between Antonio, Oscar, and Livingston. We have to have players that are good enough to win despite the lack of coaching.
