re: thoughts on whether or not we land Malik or not?

You mean 4 of Cal's players were drafted at slots similar to where they were projected out of HS if they had been eligible.

If Cal was truly making his player better and had their best interests in mind, like is said on the circuit, he wouldn't force players to choose between to either go into the draft before they are ready or go to a different school like he has done several times...
