Cullen Neal perhaps? Wyking coached alongside his dad at New Mexico...

When will this decision be announced?

And who else will round out the team? Even with him, there are still two open schollies.
caltagjohnson;842837947 said:
I think Winston will be the starting PG regardless of who comes in. Not sure why we would need more wing guys than Cullen. There will be enough guys to share the wing minutes. A backup center would seem to be the next addition. We don't need an 11 man rotation. OR had basically a 6 man rotation last year. We should not be giving scholarships just to use them up. We need to save at least 2 for a possible transfer.

There are other possibilities being strongly looked into besides Neal, who will remain largely clandestine (except Neal, as of now).

Sure, a backup center who's not a stiff would be great to add, but it's far from the only position of need. There's plenty of room.

another cal's monster class exclusive announcement: coach wyking & the staff are targeting 6'4" 191 lbs cullen neal as a potential starting point guard competing with brandon chauca as a 5th year senior graduate transfer
cullen played last season for ole miss in the sec averaging 9.4 ppg on 41.1% on fgs, 40.9% on 3 pointers & a late in the game deadly 87.6% on fts, there is no question the dude can shoot the rock...his only 79 assists in 36 games would need to at least double if he ends up in berkeley
neal played for his dad craig in new mexico (that's the wyking connection) for 2 tumultuous seasons as a lobo & received death threats among other harassment after a stellar high school at eldorado high school in albuquerque as a top 100 player in the 2012 class averaging 26.4 ppg & 7.1 apg as mr basketball in new mexico...the **** he endured in the land of green chili has made him a mentally tougher competitor
http://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/after-playing-for-his-dad-at-new-mexico-cullen-neal-is-much-happier-at-ole-miss/
best of all, cullen is not a dumb azz, while he's not as smart as shocky he got a 3.98 gpa in high school & was a multiple time all mountain west scholar athlete selection...he's interested in journalism & will probably become a partner in the cal's monster class ipo if he earns a grad degree in berkeley
let's how how neal's application to a cal grad school plays out, the bears need as many experienced guards as possible to play coach wyking's proposed high octane louisville style of ball

An interesting transfer possibility could be Cameron Johnson of Pitt. He will have 2 years of eligibility remaining is a 2 time all ACC Academic player and a double digit scorer in the best hoops league in the country. 6'7" and a good 3 pt shooter. Could be a nice add if interested. Graduated in 3 years from Pitt.

This is great to hear. Bird is such a likeable kid, and I agree with the report regarding the versatility and completeness in his game.
He's had to battle so many injuries, I just hope he's able to stay healthy, and get a chance to show off his skills at the next level. I'll definitely be pulling for him wherever he goes.
Vineyardview;842838067 said:
Has anyone ever seen or read an interview or article which explained why C. Neal is transferring from Mississippi as a Graduate Transfer?
Is the move more a basketball decision than a graduate program)decision?
If it is based upon the graduate program should Mary's offering be under active consideration compared to Cal?
Why isn't he just applying to a Miss. graduate program and finishing his eligibility there?
Does his father's coaching background with Wyking Jones explain his reputed interest in California?

Too late on Johnson, most likely. He's likely headed to Arizona with Knox committing to UK.
As far as Neal goes, he's more of a combo guard than a PG. He got free reign at NM, played for his dad, but couldn't handle the pressure of a lead role and the criticism of the fan base due to being the coach's son. He doesn't really move the needle a ton, but since he's only a got a year left, he'd be a welcome add with his ability to knock down the 3 and his size at the guard spots.

He moves the needle more than Brandon Chauca. He will not hurt 2018 recruiting as you say he has but 1 year left. Finding a decent player as a grad transfer to Cal is a difficult proposition. Need to be a quality student and get admitted academically. Webb for football and Mullins last year for hoops were very good adds. Since many grad transfers are really just trying to find a hoops home Cal is often not even a consideration.
