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?

Darius Carr- 107th ranked kid, decomitted from New Mex St given the scandals there around hazing. We also offered him originally

Jazz Gardner- we didn't offer him under Fox but from California, 119th ranked kid in c/o 2023

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.

Isn't he Jalani's son?

I didn't even realize. yes lol

will the games they miss to injury be added to the Haas scoreboard graphic?

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.

Not going to happen

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!

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.

Did this hire bring you out of 10 years of hiding? You are a BI icon.

Kerr Kriisa. Get it done Madsen. Have Steve Kerr give him a call, they are "related."

This has me dreaming!

Michigan star Hunter Dickinson has entered the transfer portal as a graduate transfer, sources told ESPN.

kriisa had a drinking problem in tuscon, he's been pushed aside

how about Dominick Harris, the SG from Gonzaga who's from California?

What Utah Valley players will follow Madsen? Please say Bandaogo.

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.

There is zero chance that michigan's hunter dickinson is gonna end up in berkeley

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.

I hope Madsen has been on the phone with him already
