(One quibble, you're off a year, the Wall/Cousins team was 2009-10.  The next year, with Brandon Knight, they made the final four, and that recruiting class was supposed to have Enes Kanter, but he was deemed ineligible).

Anyway, are those ebbs and flows really all that different than any other team?  If anything, Cal has probably had less ebb and flow than anyone. (At least if you base it purely on tournament success, which granted, isn't the best or only way to do it)  He's made it to the elite 8 6 of his 8 years at Kentucky, with 4 of those years ending in the final four.  The NIT year stands out, and the Noel injury probably cost them a tournament spot (he says, not bothering to check the timing), but really, what schools have been more consistent than UK since Cal showed up?

Here are there KP ranks (2017 isn't final, it won't change much)

4, 7, 1, 55, 13, 1, 6, 4.  So one down year, and 7 of the other 8 years he's been in the top 13, with 6 of the 8 years in the top 7.

Kansas the last 8 years: 2, 2, 4, 8, 7, 12, 4, 6 (good lord)
Duke: 1, 3, 19, 6, 8, 3, 17, 13.

Basically the one NIT year definitely stands out.
