All that research was unnecessary, but thanks. My point was (and its indisputable) that this team is far more talented. To add to that, college basketball is WAY down from that year. There isn't one team outside of Duke and Kansas that scares me.

The sky is not falling.

I'll give you the that they are more talented but the fact is they just are not improving and I don't see any improvement. We'll see how things pan out over the next few games but based on the fact that this team is not improving whatsoever, we are very, very far from where we should be.

Probably have it figured out by then though.

If you guys keep under-performing how many of them leave for the NBA or does it set them back a year? And if a lot of them stay then what happens to the kids you have signed, I doubt they want to split time.

Was wondering the same thing. Plus I'm assuming they expected a lot of these kids to leave. Wonder how many schollys they'll have available.

“We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms -- to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.”

They'll be leaving no matter what.
Most of them anyway.
The ones that stay won't get playing time next year.

Thats kind of what I'm thinking. Coach Cal might escort them to the NBA draft himself.

I would assume so since he's done it before.

Goodwin and Noel are probably gone. Cauley-Stein has been shooting up draft boards and is a projected lottery right now. Poythress could be drafted based on his physical attributes and potential right now but he is just not playing to that potential.

As of right now, Poythress NEEDS another year and I'd like for WCS to stay for another year as well. Noel could do with another year but I'd be okay if they left as well.

Harrow is not a guarantee to leave at all. He could leave when its all said and done if he continues to improve but I think there is a very good chance he is back next year.

Listen to what I tell you.  Harrow is gone.

The draft will be MUCH weaker this year than it will be next.  The only way this doesn't happen is if he gets injured.

Cal loves these kids and does his best to improve and promote them.  My list will prove to be accurate.

Go Big Blue!

Depends on how good Donovan's zone is. If we're cold from outside like we seem to be often, it'll be an ugly night. Florida seems like a pretty athletic team, how often do you guys even use the zone? I'd imagine that team would be strongest just playing man to man.

As much as i want Stein to stay his potential is too appealing to scouts. Like last year i think a couple upperclassmen will be vital. We're crazy talented next year but we have no experience. (I will not include Wiltjer as experience either). We had a perfect storm last year and to do that again i think we'll need one or two ppl to stay.
