Kentucky and Kansas boards

[SJU14]

Not sure how good he is with the X's and O's, but I came away really impressed after hearing Cuonzo Martin in an interview out here. I can definitely see him winning a lot of in-homes if he gets to that point. And of course the Cal campus is beautiful. Shocked they were able to land a top kid from 3,000 miles away, but he made a good choice.

Cal is a sleeping giant of a school and Cuonzo Martin is waking it up with this recruiting class. They have a beautiful campus in a beautiful part of the country. The weather is great all year round and academically the school is top notch. The basketball facilities are also very nice.

Definitely with this recruiting class but unfortunately no one cares. It is sort of like BC. For whatever reason very little interest in basketball despite everything. Every once in a while they make a hiccup and get a little interest, then back to form.

I think the conference they are in has something to do with it

I haven't even looked at their roster, but I assume there are still talented kids.

But all it was going to take was one year where all the top kids realized they don't need to play in a platoon at Kentucky when they can get 35 minutes elsewhere. They were going to the NBA anyway. All the kids this season sacrificed playing time and they still didn't have a national championship to show for it. And the Harrisons may not even have long NBA careers to show for it.

There is still some talent, but this won't be the typical Cal team. If we get a good PG, they won't be much better than us. I can't believe they lost Brown. That would have made them a top 5-10 team.

That is one thing that recruits need to consider with UK. They do have a down year every so often due to the model Cal uses. You don't want to be on one of those disappointing teams. Take Briscoe and put him on SJU, an we are the better team.

I guess we have all gotten spoiled with Cal recruiting lately. Saying they have some talent is crazy, they have 5 players who were 5 star recruits, they have players with final 4 experience. They have 2 pg who were 5 star and mcdaa, one with final 4 experience. UNC is projected to be 1 ranked, and Kentucky has more NBA players on their roster. They have way more talent on their roster than most and will certainly be pre season top 10 maybe even top 5. Cal knows the 2015 class is nothing like 2016 class is, he has 4 schollies to already use to sign top kids. Many are calling next year's class the best in a generation. Cal didn't have schollies available to recruit the studs early and often so others started allot earlier.
