It probably won’t happen, but Chandler, Hardy, Huntley-Hatfield, Banchero, and Diabate look like a typical superstar Cal type team. Long and super athletic with little outside shooting. If BHH can play a big 3 a la Lyles, it would be one heck of a lineup.

I love it! Bring in those five and return my guy Fletcher as 6th man and we're ready to rock n roll!

Agreed.

But if those five want to come here and play together, Cal will play them together.

I would prefer three guards/wings with BHH at the 4, and either Banchero (preferably) or Diabate at the 5.

We need a shooter at the 3 spot, IMHO, with that lineup.

That shooter is on the roster right now. Allen and (hopefully) Hardy, is plenty of shooting and scoring for that team. Praying for Chandler and Banchero to be in that mix as well.

Honestly, I feel like we get Chandler, Hardy, and Huntley-Hatfield.

I think Askew returns (so another shooter) along with Allen, Fletcher, Ware, Toppin, and Jackson.

Starters

G Chandler(6’1 FR)
G Askew(6’3 SO)
G Hardy(6’5 FR)
F Huntley-Hatfield(6’9 FR)
F Jackson(6’10 SO)

Bench

G Allen(6’6 RS SO)
F Fletcher(6’6 SO)
F Toppin(6’9 RS SO)
F Ware(6’9 SO)

Then add another recruit/transfer or two and call it good. If one or two guys unexpectedly leave (transfer or go pro), then bring in some transfers to replace them. Hopefully the one-time transfer rule gets passed in January.

If Banchero (or Diabate or both) joins the party, then even better.

Consensus Top-10 recruit. I’ll take him along with consensus Top-5 recruit Paolo Banchero, & consensus Top-10 recruit Brandon Huntley-Hatfield & consensus Top-15 recruit Skyy Clark. Sounds like another #1 recruiting class.

I think we sign Hardy and Chandler. Last couple of years, Cal has been putting most of his eggs in one or two baskets so to speak with bigs. This time it is Paolo Banchero. Cal must believe he can sign Banchero. Banchero, Hardy, Chandler, and Watson looks doable and would be another #1 class.

Add Huntley-Hatfield, who is pretty much a lock to reclass and is a HEAVY UK lean.

G Chandler
G Hardy
F Watson
F Huntley-Hatfield
F Banchero

That is a superb class.

Should have quite a bit of talent returning to work with them. I think most of Askew, Allen, Fletcher, Toppin, Ware, and Jackson return.

Could be a great team, if it all comes together.

I’m just afraid that Banchero is going to stay home.

Very little doubt now that Huntley Hatfield is probably headed to Lexington. Maybe he reclassified, but that is not a lock. But it would be a fantastic class.

Corey Evans pegs Hardy, Huntley-Hatfield, and Banchero as 2021 commits; he also listed each of those in order of “most likely” to commit.

Hardy being the most likely; goes as far to say he is a near-lock and should be committing within the next couple months.

He believes Huntley-Hatfield wouldn’t be far behind.

2021 should be one of Cal’s most impressive.

*Edit: no mention of UK with Makur Maker. College route most likely option now, but he mentioned these schools as the final destination: Howard, UCLA, Memphis, and Auburn.
