Jimmy, my comment was in response to Alex's (always excellent) commentary.
As for your points, I really try not to get into the coaching question. There are plenty of people for those discussions. I'd be happy to talk to you about it privately, as I certainly have thoughts.

And I have the utmost respect for them, Alex and the rest of the W4C staff that works so hard. In no way did I intend to call you out, my friend. Just a general vent, and an agreement with what you said.
This got me looking at the portal to see some тАШrealisticтАЩ options if we could add a player or two...and who might help...forgive me for the ESPN links (hope that doesnтАЩt violate W4C policy - will take down if so).
Great Borzello article outlining the possible reasons why the portal is gonna be nuts this year...
HereтАЩs some names that would help & could be a fit at Cal...
Ike Nweke (PF) Columbia; Zeb Jackson (CG) Michigan ; Jalen Gabbidon (CG) Yale; and my personal, pipe dream favorite...Jordan Ivy-Curry (PG) UTSA.
But as it stands now, figuring Andre takes his Cal degree elsewhere (where IтАЩll be rooting for him), weтАЩve got 13 scholarships and they are, in no order:
1. Kuany Kuany
2. Lars Thiemann
3. Jalen Celestine
4. Sam Alajiki
5. Obinna Anyanwu
6. Marsalis Roberson
7. Joel Brown
8. Jarred Hyder
9. DJ Thorpe
10. Monty Bowser
11. Dmitrios Klonaris
12. ND Okafor (FR-PF)
13. Grant Newell (FR-SF)
Stands to reason, someone above (or more) will be heading out for some reason...question is who.
And while I really like, and pull for, every player mentioned above, I see a lotta holes on that roster when they match up against ascending programs like Wazzu, UW & Colorado, in addition to Zona, UCLA, SC, and Oregon, etc.

But my last two points are relevant on that topic

I didn't take it that way at all
