Summary
Cal’s all-time transfer legend Mark McNamara dominated the court in the late ‘70s, exploding onto the scene after sitting out a year to lead the Pac-10 in scoring and rebounding as a senior, setting a single-season FG% record still standing today. With six 30+ point games, over 1,000 career points, and a top-2 scoring average in school history, McNamara’s 36-point, 13-rebound masterpiece against UCLA in 1982 remains iconic—even in overtime loss. Drafted into the NBA, he’s a rare example of a transfer who didn’t just impact Cal—he elevated the program’s national profile and left fans with unforgettable memories.
