I like this addition.

If she averaged 8 minutes and 3 points at South Carolina, that's one thing. But at Cal?

I'm not saying she isn't good. I know nothing about her.

But what do you like?

I like a 5’10” perimeter player (who was a top 100 recruit). We have to trust Coach Barnes will use the recruiting funds well. We will be top 4 in available recruiting funds so the staff merely needs to use it wisely.
