I know it's easy to be pessimistic, but remember that Madsen bought in Tyson, Aimaq, Andrej and other players via the portal. He has shown that he can pull in impact players, plus the incoming freshmen give Cal a whole new backcourt.
Andrej would obviously be devastating were he to leave. As for the rest, it's unfortunately the state of the game these days.

Agreed. This is absolutely an NCAA problem and Cal is certainly not the only school dealing with this insanity. However, it makes the previous 6 seasons of incompetence all the more damaging because this was nowhere near a healthy program that he inherited.
My concern is while he has brought in top-heavy talent, and will hopefully continue to do so, the talent level of secondary players, depth pieces and the execution of the XтАЩs and OтАЩs that are needed to build any type of continuity and make any kind of leap have been lacking.
Will absolutely continue to root for the Bears and donтАЩt wanna speak for others, but personally my interest in college hoops and the NCAA Tournament is at an all-time low because CalтАЩs been irrelevant since the Obama administration. Ugh.
Ha! Absolutely NOT - was not implying anything of the sort. Just used it as a time stamp to say itтАЩs been a long while since the Bears were in the NCAA Tournament discussionтАж

Really? What did the Obama administration have to do with NIL? I hope that's not what you were suggesting
