Respectfully, I don’t think I am…but when Legans gets Portland to the Tournament, let alone the Sweet 16, I’ll maybe quit underselling him.

Getting a middling mid-major like Portland to .500 in conference is nice, but hardly an elite coaching job. And Holloway had crucial P5 AC/recruiting experience prior to St P…is Shantay a dynamic recruiter that’s going to attract 4* talent to Cal? Doubtful. Can he accurately sell an institution he himself bailed on? He’s not a graduate, so does he really see the value of a Cal education? He didn’t as a SR.

[technically an alumnus only has to have attended a school - graduation is not necessary]

TIL…fixed it!

Tho were Legans a graduate it’s a different conversation. Instead, tho a potential team captain as SR PG, he quit in August. That matters.

Oh - I agree. Also that era of Cal teams I have the least connection to - I don't care much for the Shipp/Vanderlaan/Legans/ etc. teams.

I actually have some pretty fond memories of that era...Lamps, Shipp, Wethers, etc...had some real exciting wins, with Tamir going for 39 in the Oregon win being a highlight. Haas could get to rocking...
