I saw quite a few Cal games. Adrian's play diminished in her soph season after a reasonably promising frosh season. Granted Cal was loaded and she wasn't relied upon much offensively, but her shooting percentage went way down and her minutes diminished. I am not bashing her whatsoever, I think she will be a good player for us, just not a difference maker even in the big west.

Morris, on the other hand, is a big loss for Cal imho. She is a very athletic, up tempo G. I was frankly surprised that she left given how strong that program is becoming. They will experience big graduation losses with Ashley Walker, who was just fabulous all year, and Hampton, but Gray-Lawson is back and their incoming frosh class, some say, is the finest collection of players in one year, in the Pac-10 in decades. Only time will tell.

Obviously Gottlieb knows the Cal personnel very well, so I'm sure she sees many attributes in Adrian playing for us. My point is that I am still waiting for the type of players that we once had, ones that can put us back among the top teams in the west. We used to beat the mid and lower tier Pac-10 for recruits, but that hasn't happened since the Fisher, Mann, Christiansen era imo.
