I'm not accustomed to this much good news.

Can I get some work done people? I'm paid to do something other than rabidly following Cal sports news, but today is definitely challenging. The football and basketball coaches are coordinating their good news to overwhelm our systems and get us out of old ways of thinking. Repeat after me: We can have nice things. We can have nice things. We can have nice...wait, is that the Oski balloon gif face down again? We need an Oski gif of chopping down the tree!

Am I insane or does it actually seem like we might be competitive next year?

We did not have enough credible shooters last year. This is very good news. Welcome, Keonte!

Anybody game to mock up a quick positional breakdown (as things stand).

As far as I can tell we seem to have a bunch of 2/3s a couple of 1s or 1/2s...but only one 4 (Aimaq) and one incoming 5 (Curtis). This would suggest we need another big....though I would settle for another stud guard. Just concerned that Curtis has had injury issues and will be a frosh.

If my read is correct, Aziz is the missing piece. Come on rich alums! Let's do this!

Madsen clearly knows what he's doing. Bravo. Mark! On the other hand, this is nothing more that Class A Pro Basketball. Has nothing to do with the Cal most of us experienced. So be it.

Will he actually have to go to class?

Nice additions, but, it would be nice to get some players who have more than one year of eligibility left!!!
