This is good. VERY VERY GOOD!!!parentswerebears said:
I can't decide if this is good or bad for Cal. One way or the other, we now have a major roster overhaul on our hands. It will be interesting to see who gets picked up.

and you get to see the cards first and have influence over which cards you get. you even get the chance to buy the cards you needBig C said:parentswerebears said:

The ones I want to stay are Celestine, Newell, Okafor, maybe Askew and sorta maybe Bowser (possible late bloomer).
Right now, this is like playing draw poker and you're considering drawing four cards. Well, add to that that you somehow know there are plenty of good cards still in the deck.

Now that we have new coach, there is no need to bash the prior guy. Bad situation for him and is, now resolved.

FOx knew his stuff, lead asst to coach K for Olympi cteam,correct?
runner up for #1 recruit in Us,and #14 in US(stayed local w/ Vandy and Stackhouse) ,same yr
Near miss on momentum changing couple recruits at the same time that Covid forced practice w/ no 5-5 competition, outdoors, oh
and that other thing- without a basketball.
Maybe he was low on personal handling, a bit like what became his BFF- Gruden.
Sam A, if he doesn't come back, as he entered before Madsen hire, is a loss, Kawahi mini-me potential.
Next yr could be a bit of a repeat of Braun's first yr: Askew stays, Celestine 100%,Okafor takes the next step,
and we score, gulp, an "Abrams" type or 2 or 3...
Teaser-Lebron was CAL and Braun or Europe if the Clippers won the lottery and kept him...Bronny??? His list prior to unbelievably loved Laker Madsen as a playa & coach hiring is: OSU.USC,ORE.
We scored PWO son of DrJ, Steve Kerr son, Ali's grandson at tailback, done deal Bronny!!

Great quote. Agree.GMP said:Deutsch said:

He got paid millions to do a 1/4 a-s job. He nearly killed my interest in a program I used to love. He can take all the crap Cal fans want to give him. As Don Draper said:

Not giving anything away, but I believe you will soon see Madsen has the capability of pulling in recruits that are way over the level of Fox. The more roster flexibility, the better. Every time one of these opens, we're likely upgrading.parentswerebears said:

Agreed - Sam A drop off from His first season was due in part to not fully committing to develop his game - well liked, but focus and dedication are important factors to taking the next step of basketball improvement, especially in a Power 5 level of competition. Athletic and can get hot from 3 pt line, but limited in other areas and clearly MM saw that via film study. In MM style of play more players need to be able to play uptempo - meaning handling the ball, court vision and have passing skills. Personally I hope Monte Bowers can raise his game as he is a good spot up shooter. and a quality young man. However - I would be surprised if He sees the court much (15+ minutes/game). Very limited on ball handling vs pressure, or to create his shot and also needs to greatly increase his defensive quickness and strength.Big C said:hbear777 said:

Incorrect. Blown way out of proportion: Being otherwise unemployed and a member in good standing with the coaching fraternity, he was invited to come in and work with Team USA for a couple of weeks (and I suspect it was on a volunteer basis). Something to fill the gap on the resume.
Sam A... gimme a break.
Don't fall for every Cal Basketball meme ever to appear on Bear Insider. Lebron, Nowitzki, etc...
agree. I like Bowser more than most (there is usually one player that I see promise inBig C said:
Sam: low hoops savvy and overrated athleticism
Bowser: i liked the way he got more and more confident the last 10 games... needs to continue that and work on his strength (looked like a true freshman last year, not a 3rd-year-in-program guy)
