Start of Season Matchups

[sarals24]

It's kind of like Jody Conradt. Yes, she won a NC. And she is the career leader in wins. But towards the end of her career she was losing great in-state players to out-of-state programs (and in-state programs) her style hadn't evolved or changed with the times. Obviously Landers is an above-average coach. But this new generation of coaches, including Louisville, Kentucky, Baylor, etc are playing more exciting basketball and attracting the better players. Georgia isn't a program like UConn, Tennessee or Stanford that will always get players. I would argue that Georgia Tech has outrecruited them in the past few years. He is clearly a good coach and has had a good tradition there, but I don't see players being super-attracted to their style of play.

Not sure if it fits into the start of the season matchups... but Cal comes to Durham on Dec 2. If the Bears can be competitive or even come out of Cameron with a victory, then perhaps they will be a strong contender for Stanford in the Pac 12.

Cal has alot of talent on paper! How they perform does make your comments very legitimate and relivent. So it fits. Good post!
