Other candidates for possible playing time, and we specifically need more subs in the front court.

1. Possibly Rooks, Sean’s son, who is 7’1″. I would be nice to also have a seven footer who is productive, like other teams in the league have. He better be a runner as I think we will fast break more next year with Bird.
2. Our two freshman forwards who hopefully sat out the whole year, which means they redshirted — Rodriquez, 6’9″, and Johnson, 6’7″
3. The other freshman we have this year, also redshirting who I don’t know anything about, who are Frid, 7’1″ and Galvin, a 6’4″ guard. From the little I’ve read, I think Rooks will play above Frid, but that could always change.
4. I believe three guys coming in as freshman next year in addition to Bird, who are somewhat highly touted, though I really know nothing much about them.

I think Monty needs to come up with an offense that spreads the ball around to the three guards so we won’t have a situation like we have this year, where they focus on locking down one player, Crabbe. A potential problem could be too much competition to shoot early, when the guards get their hands on the ball, resulting in bad shots being taken. Anyone reading these blogs knows that I believe in trying to always take open shots and not forced ones, as open look shots should normally result in a much higher shooting percentage than forced ones, which we obviously want.

BTW, good to see Crabbe thinking Cal can sweep the rest of its league games. But I hope Coach emphasizes you have to win them one game at a time, as the “big picture” will collapse if we lose tomorrow night. Beating UCLA should be tough.
