Has any Cal team had such a transformative off season before? Yikes. Wonderful. We are so damn fired up to see a competitive team that plays a modern style of play and is fun to watch. Can't wait to see how Haas fills up and I will surely be traveling to see our Bears play in OR and WA. Like I said about football, I just want to see us play at least equal to our talent. Like Monty used to do with us. We'd simply outplay teams like WA who had "better" talent, with our execution. Opposite of football right now.

Can we all agree to not post pictures of Knowlton going forward until the day he is fired for cause?

We are a basketball school! I am so excited for this season. We have actual hope! I haven’t felt excitement or hope for basketball or football for a long time now.

Looking forward to this.

When I did Ron Rivera NIL challenge, I threw some love to BB and Baseball, too.

Just sayin’, Cal fans are gonna love Vlad…

Starting 5, provided Tyson’s waiver comes through, as is hoped…

PG: Cone

SG: Kennedy

F: Newell

F: Tyson

C: Fardaws

Askew, Celestine, Okafor, Rodney, Vlad, Bowser off the bench.

Could also see Askew in, with Newell coming off the bench, especially if JT’s waiver is approved…

Even if the NCAA does it’s typical NCAA bullschitt thing, this squad without Tyson is competitive.

With him, we’re bubble. Book it.

Hey Rollonuchairs and CalBear91, Jimmy C is pumping sunshine - mark this day on your calendar!

Working on my roster preview right now. I think Askew starts at PG over Cone. Newell is a starter no matter what, but we may have 8 guys who all end up with equal minutes. I have a minor fear that Bowser may be buried at like #10 in the rotation this year.

Cone is 1000% starting

Highly doubt 8 guys are getting equal minutes. Madsen usually likes playing a fairly tight rotation. Tyson (if eligible) and Cone especially will be seeing heavy minutes

I have no idea who any of these guys are, but Go Bears!

What is the issue with Jaylon Tyson and the NCAA? Any timeline on when a decision might be made?

Cal submitted a couple weeks back. Rumor has it that is should be an easy approval for his situation.

Not sure where you’re getting your rumors from, but it’s a messy situation right now and it may take some time

I’m scratching my head trying to figure out or remember what horrible, inappropriate comment was made. 🧐

Hmm. Sounds like a question for Prime, except those figures were on the same game.
