i doubt Fox can get him....
#WSU's Tyrell Roberts, a 31-game starter as a junior and first-year Coug sharpshooter last year, is in the portal. https://t.co/PXckOQpyvZ

Wazzu's top three returning scorers all in the portal. 6 players in all. I thought Kyle Smith was building something there?
See the "Pay to Play" thread. Eventually I'll even get tired of complaining about it here and, after10+ years, will shift my attention completely away from this league and give it the same attention that I do to the G League and the Spanish Professional league (whatever it's called). That is none.
agree. I've already shifting to other Cal sports like softballparentswerebears said:

as for Roberts, I thought he already transferred once... I guess a player can transfer once as an undergrad with immediate eligibility, and again as a grad transfer with immediate eligibility
WSU will have a tough time without those 3 players

I counted the total stars of the 12 players left on the roster inc, the two frosh coming in. I left out Kelly. 12 players = 30 stars total. Verbal commits.com is a great, but depressing site if your teams the one with no talent. Nebraska has two 4 and one 5 star coming in. Cal and Oregon St. Are the two worst P5 teams in college hoops.
And at least OSU had the elite 8 run last year. We really may be the absolute worst program in P5 basketball.Ccajon2 said:

Yes and depressing for sure. Leaving Kelly out, is likely the right assumption. Latest is that trips are planned to visit Florida, Ohio St. and UCSB (due to strong relationship with Coach Pasternak first recruiting go around). Likely going to come down to NIL along with comfort with HC.Ccajon2 said:

Wooow, if Pasternak or Golden lands him. What a gut punch by 2 coaches we identified years ago as feasible candidates.

oskidunker said:And if no one else developed in to an inside scoring threat, Fox will put Kelly back in to the middle and screw his nba chances4thGenCal said:Exactly - Since Fox needs to overcome the perception of "my stock is as high as it can be". Kelly wants to showcase/develop his outside shot to be part of his package. The pay structure of playing overseas can fairly easily be neutralized by donor's chipping in with a NIL arrangement. AK is really more driven by Gleague/nba team tryouts (which is not going to happen in the way he would hope). AK is being advised by different people with different thoughts - He will not make any decision until after finals and even then he has flexibility to decide which path he will take. I would like to see him back not just for Cal, but also for his development, as he has improved under this staff and leaving is a risky move that does not always work out. His skill set would improve as he is a focal part of the team, versus being just a part elsewhere.calumnus said:rkt88edmo said:Agree, it's hard to imagine us coming up with enough to beat out overseas play but by stayingoskidunker said:

But I'd think the deciding factor would be, does another year at Cal get him closer to the NBA compared to his other options?
If he is going to play another year in college to get more attractive to the NBA, it would need to be at a program where he can play PF and away from the basket, especially demonstrating 3 pt shooting. With Grant struggling last year and Lars improving, we could have done that last year. However, with Grant now gone, maybe that is Fox's pitch?
Yep. He should have gotten SOME time at PF last year.
There is now two available, good luck to Andre Kelly as He will shortly announce his transfer decision.

I can understand transferring for NIL money, but I don't think Santa Barbara would be the place.

That's what I was thinking, as an alternative to Santa Barbara. That or Montana. If he's going to grad transfer, hey that is his right, best wishes, but I don't want him playing for a conference or area rival.
Isnt Bradley out of eligibility?
Go Bears!
Bradley can play another year, if he chooses, because of "the COVID year".

Bradley, Kelly, Vanover and Gordon were all freshmen together in Wyking's second/last year (2018-2019)
But wait. They are all going to the nba.
Go Bears!
Congrats to Andre Kelly on a great move to @UCSBbasketball. He’s obviously thrilled to be headed there. Wishing him all the best. https://t.co/b9ARlSRQoY

Embarrassing for us that Santa Barbara is a preferred place over Cal now. Congrats to Andre. Wonder what Knowlton thinks about our star player preferring to play at UCSB over Cal? Probably attributes it to COVID.
Maybe Knowlton thinks it's fine for Santa Barbara to have a better basketball team than Berkeley. As long as we're meeting his standards for excellence.
