Actually, it's going to be cool seeing a former Cal basketball player *and* a former Cal football player playing for the Lakers.

Solomon Hughes quit basketball years ago. Then Adam McKay cast him as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. https://t.co/am6PMEFBNf

Great PR for Cal!

I chatted with Austin once, spring of his junior year in HS, when his school (Was it Napa, or Vintage?) came to the one I taught at, for a track meet. He was running sprints and I was timing. I forget if he had just verballed to Cal, or did shortly thereafter. Nice guy, from a Cal family.
