Parham is a good player, and I think he would be a good fit at UK. He would look good alongside Mintz. But the problem this off season is there are going to be so many good transfer options that you have to worry about offering somebody before you know who else is going to be available. On the other hand, it's risky to pass up good players that you know would make your team better.

For example, is Parham better than Alex Barcello, Max Abmas or Antoine Davis? Would Barcello come back for a 5th year to give himself a shot professionally? Would Abmas or Davis transfer for a higher profile? This is going to be an off season where knowledge is paramount. Hope Calipari and his coaches are ahead of the curve on the transfer scene.

The Isaiah miller from uncg looks like a potential 2 guard. Has a lot of john wall to his game. Kid would be a star a UK.

Man, this Max Abmas kid is impressive to watch. Look how fast he gets his shot off. Seems to have the ball on a string, is very quick and seems to have a high bb iq.

Watch "Max Abmas 36 Pts, 9 Ast vs Oklahoma State - 12/8/20" on YouTube

He reminds me a little of Ulis.

The Abrams kid would be a good get, More than anything Cal needs to try and get a couple of guys who can shoot the basketball, it is the critical need for next years team regardless of who stays or goes.

Don't know why the kid wouldn't be a second rounder.
Mid major has nothing to do with draft stock.
Guarantee you he's been scouted probably by every team in the league.
With a stat line like that, if he's not a pro prospect then he has a fatal flaw physically ala Reid Travis that prevents him from being in the league.
After Reid, Nate and Davion being in the program can Cal really sell the "Kentucky Effect" to grad transfers anymore?
Throw Oliver in as well.

By the way, I love the instant transfer rule. The same coaches crying about how unfair it is would gladly leave Poe Dunk U if UCLA or Ohio State came calling.

Competitive equity should have no place in sports.

I think Cal has to continue to fill in the gaps with grad transfers AND recruit program guys like Askew, Mintz, Brooks, Ware, Fletcher, Hickman and Hopkins.

It's going to take a few years for the transformation to take place, so getting good transfers in, that don't have to sit, will be huge.

If Cal can get the right pieces back off this team and add an elite pg to go along with the 4 new guys, we could be pretty good, assuming we don't have another injury. Seems like that happens every year.

Who knows, maybe there will be a couple of surprise sophomores next year. We're in uncharted waters right now.
