Cal basketball: Jaylen Brown, Ivan Rabb aren't automatically one-and-done

Could they stay an extra year?

Nick wrote yesterday how Cal basketball has now, for better or for worse, entered the one-and-done race that many elite college basketball programs now have to deal with to get deep in the NCAA tournament. Cal will now have to make the trade-off of recruiting elite college talent while sacrificing the extra years they get from super developed players. It is a game Mike Montgomery never wanted to play, and while it did end up giving Cal plenty of talented teams, they had a ceiling that became pretty apparent against elite basketball teams.
