It actually is weird how Cal has turned this program into a one and done factory. Cal is a much better coach than people give him credit for. Despite his rep, he actually built some great upperclassman-heavy teams at UMass and Memphis.

This new model he's established won't work unless he gets another special talent like Anthony Davis.

This new model


It's not a "model". It's called going after the best players in the nation...and getting them. Billy D would love to have Cal's "model" but he isn't able to.

I would agree, you can bring in great freshmen, but you really need great leadership from your point guard, and they don't have that this year.

This seems to be the key ingredient he is missing. He has athleticism through the roof. He needs a big man like Anthony Davis and Demarcus Cousins to make it all work. Also needs some kind of leadership. It's extremely hit or miss with each new rotation of 5 star freshmen. Some gel, most won't.
