Regular basketball signing period runs from April 11 to May 16. The Bears hopefully can put the remaining scholarships to good use.

How many scholarships do we have to give? 1, 2 or 3?

At present 2.

2, Including the Colman spot?

Who here is going to freak out if we don't sign anyone significant in the next 6 days?
Should I?
When are transfers announced?
When do the final top guys agree (Jordan Brown)?
After NBA draft window is finalized?

Cal fans held their breath for the last several months for the selection of the new AD, so a week or two should not be difficult. Stay positive 'til you're blue in the face, and thrive.

Go Bears!

Yes. Departing are Okoroh, Lee, Welle, Hamilton and Coleman, so 5 open schollys with 3 players committed.

Returning (8):
Paris Austin, JR, 6'0"
Deschon Winston, SO, 6'2"
Darius McNeill, SO, 6'3"
Austin McCullough, SO, 6'4"
Juhwan Harris-Dyson, SO, 6'5"
Justice Sueing, SO, 6'7"
Roman Davis, JR, 6'7"
Grant Anticevich, SO, 6'8"

Committed (4):
Matt Bradley, FR, 6'3"
Jacobi Gordon, FR, 6'7"
Andre Kelly, FR, 6'8"
Connor Vanover, FR, 7'2"

Walk-ons (2):
Jacob Orender, SR, 6'0"
Jules Erving, SO, 6'6"

EDIT: Welcome Connor Vanover!! One spot left . . .

That is a young team! A grad transfer can help that a little bit.

Someone taller than 6'8" would also help.

Here's a list of available grad transfers. Familiar name at the top of the list.

Old Dominion's Trey Porter would be a nice add, though Maryland seems to have a leg up on him.

I get the feeling that our potential transfer has not announced yet. Granted, that is just a feeling- no actual info behind that.

Who knows for sure? MB didn't respond when I linked that grad transfer list earlier this week. All we can do is wait and speculate....

Partly that and partly that Cal hasn't come up in any tweets about any of the big name transfers yet.

More if needed.

At this point, I can't see us needing more than two.

OK . . . take one breath.

For class balance sake, if there are more than 2 I hope at least one is a grad transfer.

Since Davis will be a senior academically, unless he gets significantly more court time this year, I could see him being a grad transfer next year to get some playing time in his final year, and that would be our only (at current) available scholarship for 2019

Let's hope that the "only" scholarship for 2019 turns out to be a highly touted PG?????staff?????????

I see Vanover has been added, but I'll still take TWO more bigs. Brown plus another.
Connor may not be strong enough to be much of a contributor next year.
So, we'll take Brown plus a 5th year grad transfer, please.

In that scenario, we'd be off to the races and Jones would be buying himself at least one more year after 2018-19.

The excitement would be back. I'm all for it!

That scenario requires someone in addition to Coleman to not return next year
