Coach Cal to Texas at Rupps Rafters:
1. The Big12 is up for grabs.
2. Texas HS talent is booming.
3. No rebuild necessary.
4. Unlimited Resources.
The Paranoia is real.
1. The Big12 is up for grabs.
- Cal's mantra is only take a job where you can win the conference immediately
- KU & OKST facing probation
- OU won't attract a big name to replace Kruger
- Baylor or Texas Tech (or both) will need a new coach in the next two seasons, especially if UK comes open
2. Texas HS talent is booming.
- 25 blue-chip prospects in the next THREE classes
- Seven 4/5-star players in '21 (including Daimion Collins)
- Fifteen 4/5 star players in '22
- Three 4/5 star players in '23 (plus presumably Dejuan Wagner)
3. No rebuild necessary.
- All three starting guards could return (two likely)
- Daimion Collins would likely follow Cal/Jai Lucas
- incoming recruiting #11 nationally + grad transfers
4. Unlimited Resources.
- They can match or beat any Kentucky contract
- The Longhorn network is the perfect platform for Cal to showcase
himselfhis players - Arena and practice facility are worthy of top 5 program
- He has his Anthony Davis/John Wall alum in Kevin Durant
The Paranoia is real.
