Thought it might be good to have a dedicated thread for potential targets and portal news.

Carey Booth- he took 2 official visits, one of which was to us. Class of 2023. 73rd ranked kid in his class. He decomitted from Penn St. Maybe we could go after him?

This player that entered the portal tore an ACL after a rough portal landing in a locker room on the other end and will miss next season.

If you combine the pac-12 football standings with basketball, our men's program would be right above the 1 win Colorado football team and below the cal football team.

Yes.

And there is still no forgiveness for Jelani Gardner. Ratted us out to the NCAA and put us on probation with an NCAA Tournament ban, just so Jelani could become immediately eligible at Pepperdine as a transfer. What a selfish, self-centered, self-aggrandizing jerk.

We need to go after Fardaws Aimaq, who previously played for Madsen. He may be the centerpiece to build around since he has many teammates from Texas Tech that will be transferring, and also his UVU teammates which are predicted too as well. The main guy to look for on that UVU roster is Aziz Bandaogo and Trey Woodbury, who just filed a waiver to receive an extra year. Trey & Fardaws are said to have been roommates / great friends. If we can get two of those three in a package, that would be an immense start to this off-season.

The big question mark will be if Madsen presents this to the NIL people to fundraise for what this may cost. I would assume if the logistics line up, he can influence them to join him at Cal. They all seem to talk highly of him!

Interesting as one of the Texas Tech assistants, Matt Scherbenske, was a grad assistant under Monty at Cal.

Grad transfer with two years of eligibility according to the Athletic. Can we get him admitted? I mean, assuming we could conceivably get on his radar.

He is close to NBA-ready, so would probably only stay for a year. But he might definitely be attracted to Madsen's NBA knowledge and Cal's academics. However, he might also want to go some place that is ready to compete for a championship. Have to see about his priorities.

With the right NIL and coach in place, we may be ready to compete. Cal will have the new Fab Five.

fardaws aimaq is a very good college basketball player, aziz bandaogo is an elite program changing +1 athletic talent that will require major nil dollars

Don't rule it out completely. He graduated in three years, has been a two-time Big Ten All-Academic Team honoree, and my friends in Ann Arbor say that he marches to a different drummer.
