At least there is some mystery and hope on this roster. Not enough returning production to be overly optimistic, but hoping we got off to a better start this year. I don't think I could take another bust year. Go Bears!

11th? Someone is clearly sunshine pumping if they expect us to finish that well.

I feel bad for the players (football too) - I really want to support them but just can’t BEAR to watch anymore.

With football season being over, I can't wait for basketball. Totally different team. Curious to see if the play is as different as Fox and the players talk about it being. Go Bears!

Same head coach though, which is the problem.

I hope we can beat UC-Davis and get off on the right footing.

No. Hopefully improvement tho TD, ya?

Few paid attention, and there was generally very little mention of it on W4C, but Fox’s playing rotations on the overseas trip this summer were interesting. Not much info was put out, so not sure if injuries played role, but there was a lot of Askew, Joel, DeJuan Clayton, plus Lars & Okafor.

The real surprise tho appeared to be FR combo forward Grant Newell, who played big minutes and produced. A Chicago native and graduate of city powerhouse Whitney Young, Newell’s own coach last year at the IMG (FL) prep academy where he spent a gap year even called the 6’8” kid a project at the P5 level…interesting - he sure didn’t appear to be, at least from the stats.

Heard very little mentions and production from Alajiki, Anyanwu, Bowser and Roberson.

Should be interesting - wish I had any faith in Mark Fox.

Does the media understand we need to give Fox more time because of Covid, only reason Cal is so low in this poll

Actually a pretty generous rating. I heard from one person who was going to slot Cak 15th in the conference, and OSU 18th.

I'll be putting Cal MBB in simulator mode until the AD actually pretends to care. Knowlton & Co are not only burning today's goodwill but tomorrow's donor base.

Remember, our lack of success is all COVID’s fault.
