This just goes to show you HS rankings aren't always accurate. You can get a bunch of top ranked players, but doesn't mean they are actually better than other ones you didn't recruit. Coach Cal just has a boner for anyone with a top 10 next to their name.
That's stupid. Cal has recruited the best, they've performed the best (in year 1), and gotten drafted way early.
WCS wasn't a 5star, btw.
It's better to say that THIS years crop was just not all that great (as a recruiting class) and Everything changes for this entire team if Poythress caught a killer instinct. I'm not being defensive (I've been way unhomerish), but I have to call out a horrible take.
