To be fair, 3 of those 5 transfers came with him from Kentucky (and played significant minutes as part of a 10-loss team that got bounced by Oakland in the 1st round of the NCAAT), so I wouldn't necessarily count them as traditional transfers since they were already playing for Cal. Only things changing for Wagner, Thiero, and Z are their location and uniform. His true transfer class consists of Aidoo and Davis (plus the return of Brazile is a nice bonus for him).
Everybody knows that Cal is very limited as a coach. It's hardly a secret! Give any above average coach the sheer amount of talent he's squandered, and they'd have multiple titles. Last year he brought his two best players off the bench for God knows why. That's straight up coaching malpractice to have two lottery picks coming off the bench. Ya'll do have a lot of talent though for sure.
They certainly got off to slow starts seemingly every game until Rob and Reed subbed in after the first TV timeout. Sheppard still played 29 minutes a game though, Reeves is the only guard that played more. Rob played a little over 23 but a big reason for him not playing more minutes was because he would routinely pick up stupid fouls and almost always had 2 in the first half, which would put him back on the bench until the 2nd half. Sometimes he didn't even play 5 mins in the 1st half because of it. He still averaged more minutes than Edwards though.
