Not sure how legit this is, but Kendall Smith, Marcus Lee's PG at Deer Valley, could be a grad transfer candidate. Put up 16.7 ppg/4.8 apg/4.0 rpg/1.3 spg in 33.4 mpg at CSUN last season. Shot 44.8 FG/37.5 3PT/76.2 FT. Very good list of schools, if true...
I hope Lee is telling him to come here. The question is, would he qualify?

I have no idea. My hunch is that it's unlikely. He's coming from CSUN. But according to his bio on the CSUN basketball site, he was presented with the "Academic Excellence Award" at the team banquet at the end of his redshirt sophomore season in 2015-16. We'd be the obvious front runner if he is able to get in.

Good find. Has anyone seen any video of him at CSUN?

Wow, very impressive. Especially like the highlights at UCLA and Stanford, for a PAC12 reference. Seems to have good court vision and passing skills, a good handle, can shoot the pull up jump shot, is tall and athletic, looks to have range on his shot, but of course the highlights don't show misses. Looks to be exactly the player Cal needs for next season. Hopefully, the coaches and Marcus Lee are in touch with him.

He's more of a scoring PG. Shot selection was an issue in HS, but he still put up big scoring numbers at DV. Models his game after Westbrook, but isn't the athletic freak Russ is. Probably the best we could get along with maybe Casey Benson.
FWIW I mentioned Kendall Smith earlier ...

Great. Thanks, I must have missed it. Hopefully, the coaching staff is also in the know.
Bryan Alberts, 6-5 CG, Gonzaga. Grad transfer with two years left. Graduating with an Econ degree in the summer. Didn't do a ton at Gonzaga, but I remember him being a pretty good prospect out of HS.

the interesting thing about Alberts is he will be a grad transfer with TWO years of eligibility. One of the reasons I understand we have a hard time with grad transfers is because we don't have many/any one year grad degrees. He's also from California, and anyone who can graduate that fast would probably have good grades, unless of course gonzaga is that easy.
For me this is a no brainer if he can get accepted

Transferring Notre Dame wing Matt Ryan will take an official to Cal-Berkeley tonight, his dad tells me. Already visited Vandy.
This one sounds promising but he just finished his sophomore year so wouldn't help us for next season although we definitely have the space for some transfers to sit out.

From Zag's Blog: "Transferring Notre Dame wing Matt Ryan will take an official to Cal-Berkeley beginning Monday night after also hitting Vanderbilt. His dad said he's also considering Georgetown and George Washington"
Ryan is interesting. He's pretty much a spread 4, but can also play the 3 on offense. Can really shoot it. Was in ND's 8-man rotation as a freshman, but lost minutes as a sophomore due to Brey wanting more defense/rebounding at his spot.
Do transfering redshirts count against the limit? There is a strong upside of essentially writing off next year and stockpiling with kids like Ryan and the Dukester and then try to get some impact 2018 Frosh. Solid transfer wins will make be happy (and could be part of the Jone's secret plan laid out in the interview to make Cal Successful in the current environment)
(BTW - which could absolutely work if you believe that some of the kids most likely to transfer have proved, with a year under their belt, that they can handle the load. Here is an interesting question - for a kid with say 2 years done who transfers - will admissions look at JUST the college grades (aka like they do with CC transfers) and thus they could have UNDER a 3.0 in HS but OVER a 3.0 from another university and thus get the green light. Moreover, those kids will be older and more mature than the Frosh of the world - we saw how Ball wore down a bit and how it "hurt" UCLA in the tournie....and of course continuty cause the red shirt got a year of practice prior to even hitting the course....and a year to get used to CAL without the grind of travel if they need to stay back in Berkeley/slack off in practice).

Yes, transfers count against the scholarship limit.

Whatever that means.
My guess is not much based on where he went to school and caliber of the other schools he's considering.
