It's a mistake to draft players of Wilkinson's caliber, Just like Mendoza in FB. Every one of these players will hit the portal after one year. We will find portal players who are a cut below what we lost. Unless we find an AD with imagination, we will continue to be a stepping stone program (in both BB and FB).

That's not true. We still need those players to put us over the cusp, just need to treat them as one-and-done players. If we have a strong core behind them, they can pull us over the top. But they won't stick around full a complete rebuild.
Cal is going to be stepping stone program, but I disagree with we've gotten raw ends of the deal from the portal. Also, Mendoza had no offers other than Yale coming out of high school. Apparently we were the only D1 program who saw his "caliber".
