Nice job, Nick. It is also worth noting that the women's basketball team has done well in the portal, after losing Curry and Bonner they've added Marta Suarez from Tennessee, Ila Lane from UCSB, Ionna Krimili from USF and McKayla Williams from Gonzaga all of whom look like they can be key contributors to the '23-24 squad.

Obviously we can't go back to the days where Cal was flirting with academic sanctions but the reality can't be avoided. We need to win. Players should be able to pass their classes but I fully support using athletic ability to offset academic requirements in admissions.

If a player can't hack the work despite reasonable assistance by the university then the player can transfer. But if they can, then we made a good admission investment. The portal cuts both ways and, realistically, we should be giving a broader swath of people the chance to earn a Cal degree.
