The California Golden Bears have done an admirable job filling back up their roster with quality talents. Here are the commits they’ve landed so far:

• Christian Tucker (UTSA point guard)

• D.J. Campbell (Western Carolina guard)

• Joshua Ola-Joseph (Minnesota wing)

• Lee Dort (Vanderbilt big)

• BJ Omot (North Dakota forward)

• Jeff Nwankwo (top JUCO wing)

Now they are looking for the star punch that will lift them back to a tournament-ready team.

Two such talents visited this weekend. One you already know of is Stanford transfer Andrej Stojakovic, who took a trip to Berkeley over the weekend.

The other is a new face: Air Force forward Rytis Petraitis, who is one of the up-and-comers in the portal.

Petraitis averaged 15.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game last year with the Falcons. He also averaged nearly a block a game (0.9) and 1.6 steals and got to the charity stripe at an exceptional rate (6.3 free throw attempts a game). Those are top-two option numbers on a Power 5 college basketball team

Petraitis also visited Texas recently, but he did not commit on the trip he took to Austin. So the door is open for Cal.
