I don't understand why so many on this board seem so in love with the kicker.

He seems like a very wilcoxian hire. Former assistant, knows the Berkeley landscape, capable, decent floor but absolutely zero upside

recruited some very highly rated prospects at arizona. my #1 criteria is recruiting acumen. you can't win in the pac without recruiting in the upper echelon. need 4-stars every class and every few years a 5 star

Recruiting is #1 #2 and #3 on my criteria. I'm not as convinced as others that he will be able to recruit to cal.

Recruiting to cal and recruiting to Arizona are two very different things.

Pasternak would definitely raise sufficient NIL monies as he has the support of several capable donors - 7 figure raise levels+. 2) He is very close with key recruiting programs including but not limited to Prolithic Prep and Oakland Soldiers 3) Past players, Coaches, and key basketball people in today's environment would support him. 4) He engineered the biggest single season turn around his first year at UCSB - He is organized, and has an off the charts work ethic Ala Mussleman. 5) His teams at UCSB have put 3 players in the NBA - impressive for a small program 6) Loves Cal, gets Cal having worked here under Braun. 7) Crowds/alum and past player support would be completely changed. 8) Affordable -
