Lots of work left to do. Lots. Curtis is a wildcard….will he be healthy? Or here?
Suffice it to say, absent any more defections, these final 4 scholarships need to go big time players ready to make an impact in the ACC if Cal is going to be competitive next season.
Ideally, a big that can shoot, like a Nick Davidson from Nevada, would be a great add in the post. A quality starting caliber PG with some size that can facilitate and defend…plus another shooter and a low-post player that can board and hang with P5 players.
If Ruff can be a factor early at the 2, and Dort/Mahoney can take a step forward in year 2 in the system to provide quality depth in the paint, things could be interesting next season if the staff can close on some impact guys.
I don't know if even Campbell thinks he earned starting time based on his play in the ACC last year and he should probably understand why we're still actively recruiting his position.
Campbell and Dorsey ideally are playing 10-12 mpg in defined roles towards the back end of the rotation next season. If that’s the case, it means Madsen has reloaded with players that can excel at the P5 level and the program should be the better for it.

We have a bit of a log jam at the 2 guard w Campbell, Dorsey and Ruff. I hope that Madsen knows what he's doing
Just some context. We had a logjam at the wings. 2 injuries later we were depleted the rest of the season. So I’ll take it wherever we can get it

With Dai Dai and Milos added to this list, I still want at least 1 more guard and 1 more big -- but both need to be like P5 level transfers.
Agreed. Even with these additions we’re a bottom quarter roster in the ACC currently. Plenty of more work still to be done.
