This may be a dumb question, but does Cal have a coaching tree?  An heir apparent type?

Not really much of a tree. I think Bruser Flint (basically his Mike Anderson) and that guy that was at Louisville when the hooker thing came out (basically his TJ Cleveland but with hookers). I'm probably forgetting someone though. 

There just aren't a lot of Calipari types out there to be had. I've never been a fan but it's hard not to like the motherfucker as coach of the hogs.

lunardi has us as a 2 seed in his latest bracketology.  highest we've ever been since they started this bracket predicting crap.

also we're getting a russian center that played in spain's u-22 league last year and averaged 13.5 points and 7.4 rebounds per game.  6'10" and 225 lbs, he's skinny, but surely the euro league play will help guys like him and murrinen be prepared for sec play.

Just saw a snippet of an interview of Billy Richmond saying he calls Muurinen "baby Dirk". I'll take that.

I've seen people talk about the Russian kid like he js a stiff or a project.  If he is on the Russian National Team, he can play.

I watched video of him. Lots of short stuff off the glass(not sure he can dunk) and a decent shot from deep. The video I watched didn't show any defense which is what we need.
"Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times."

Barton Fink

I think he's somewhere in between. He's not a a starter but he's not the Bosnian goon from last year either. We have 5 guys 6'11" or taller.

He is a nice 3 point shooter and moves really well, like a guard, from the highlights I have seen.

Now, the Finn...Billy Richmond has christened him, Baby Dirk.

Matt Zimmerman is in a lot of videos going crazy over Baby Dirk. Talking about how he already plays like a pro and how skilled he is offensively.

I'm trying to temper my expectations. I remember a time when Connor Vannover was "Baby Dirk"...or something idk. Nobody bothered to see that he looked great playing against wheel chair league guys and had the stamina of a 90 year old terminally ill person.

Surely playing in a euro league had him better prepared than vanover

Chuck is saying a former hog pro that is working out with the team is saying he might be the number one pick in the draft.

Just trying to imagine what we'd be if we'd gotten okezie.

We might not have been '91 unlv good, but close

Way too much optimism.  I refuse to believe.
