It would be a good time for LG to bail for her sake.
I could be wrong but Lindsay seems to like coaching at Cal. If she's homesick for the East Coast I haven't heard about it.

We return one starter that is at best the fourth best player and one starter that she takes out as soon as she can. We won't have a strong team for years if ever.
My view of next season's roster:
Kianna Smith, JR PG/SG: 2-year starter, Pac-12 All-Freshman, top-50 recruit, McD AA.
Jaelyn Brown, SR F/W: 1-year starter, Pac-12 All Freshman HM, top-50 recruit.
CJ West, SR C: 3-year contributor, top-100 recruit.
Kenzie Forbes SO PG/SG/W, 1-year contributor, top-50 recruit, McD AA.
Alaysia Styles, JR F: 2-year contributor, top-100 recruit.
Mi'Cole Cayton, RS-JR PG/SG: 1/2 year starter, top-100 recruit
Unknowns:
Sara Anastasieska, RS-SR SG:
Cailyn Crocker, FR PG: top-100 HS
Chen Yue, RS-SR C:
Lauren Fields, FR SG:
Jazlen Green, FR SG:
Evelien Schipholt, FR F:
Unknown unknowns:
more recruits?
IMHO if Mi'Cole is healthy and one or two of the freshies can play we'll be OK. Possibly worse offensively but better defensively than this season. I wouldn't expect to finish in the top half of the Pac-12. Future seasons will depend on future recruiting, which is hard to predict especially with the constraints at Cal.
