Sammie Yeanay brings high-end forward upside, but Cal is still waiting for the breakout
Yeanay is a 6-foot-9, 240-pound forward with real pedigree: Cal lists him as a consensus top-100 recruit coming out of AZ Compass Prep, and he was Grand Canyon’s highest-rated signee ever. His on-court value profile is built around size, toughness, and frontcourt versatility, with early college flashes of efficient scoring and rebounding in limited minutes. The big swing factor is availability: Cal notes he was sidelined to start the 2025-26 season with injury, so the fit is best for a team willing to invest in a physically gifted, still-developing forward who could outgrow his current role.
