    Never to be heard from again. Oh well, if he really thinks Washington was the best basketball choice, then he was too stupid to come here anyway. I hope he has a fun year of college out on the Pacific coast! Beautiful campus.. Can’t beat the views.

    Lets get EJ and Nick back and I’m excited for next year!

    McDaniels would have been really nice to have. But who is to say that he would not come in and have the exact same type freshman year EJ had ? I mean it is really possible. EJ was our highest rated player last year. A second year EJ is a way safer bet than a first year McDaniels. We have no clue how he will perform his freshman year. But i can say with fairly good certainty, EJ will be vastly improved his sophomore year. So if we get EJ back (i feel really certain we will), it is not like we will bare at the position. He will play the 5 very nicely. Now if we do not get EJ or Nick back, Cal had better have a couple Aces up his sleeve (which he does).

    I get that he doesn't pick UK for distance or staying close to home... but Washington? Washington?

    The funny thing is he wants to play in the NBA! YOU ARE NEVER HOME!!!! GET USED TO IT

    Final 4 or bust

    I get it, it's fun to dream, but an Elite 8 would be fantastic to me.

    We're talking about a coach who has one exactly one tournament game and a program that hasn't been past the sweet 16 since 19 fucking 53.

    We won't be top 10 preseason. Getting to the E8 would be a huge huge step.
    And getting there would help future recruits. It amazes me how Romar would recruit when he never got past the sweet 16 even with a number 1 seed.

    Should also be noted it's going to be a ROUGH road for whatever team wins the conference, even given the class we have, Arizona AND USC are ahead of us in rankings, and Oregon is only 4 spots back.

    There's been nothing but big dick energy from Hopkins so far, he'll need to keep it going.
