Re tackle Alec Bank, possible senior transferee from Harvard, I wonder if any player has transferred from the Ivy League to any Pac 12 school. I doubt it. Look like if he does come to Cal he needs to beef up some.
49er, high school basketball rankings tend to be accurate, the top 100 players in the nation compete against each other every summer during national aau tournaments which means scouts & coaches can see how elite players match up with each otherGobears49 said:

I'm hoping we have a chance at transfer WSU LT Jarrett Kingston. He could walk in and be the man to help anchor the left side.

haha goldy, agreed that's not gonna happen...hopefully someday soon there will be a path in the road to becoming a cal basketball floor seat donor again & at that time a football nil supporter too but that's not where things are rite nowSBGold said:

monster quarterback predictions:Shocky1 said:
econ, my take (which could change in 5 minutes from now) on the quarterback situation based on conversations with multiple people within & close to the cal football program is that chandler rogers is the quarterback of the future & that he will commit before new year's eve, that kai milner will return from the portal & pursue his berkeley degree with an emphasis upon biz classes while competing in coach spav's quarterback room and that jack plummer is gone for good
coach spav in concert with coach wilcox want to move forward with college football's trend towards mobile quarterbacks particularly in light of the challenges that cal's monster offensive line faced this season which resulted in the tough as **** plummer nearly getting sent to the el monte spinal & taquitito institute on almost a weekly basis due to brutal punishing hits...whatever happens moving forward jack will always have the monster's respect for his courageous bravery in accepting the 2022 season physical punishment
but look at the pac 12's top quarterbacks in 2022, what do they all have in common?...they are all +1 athletes that can flat out run...we're talking about williams at usc, dtr at ucla, penix at washington, ward at washington state, etc.
chandler rogers last season on a 4-8 team threw for 2403 yards, 15 touchdowns with 7 interceptions & a remarkable 67.5% completion percentage...according to pff his wide receivers dropped 10% of his passes so his adjusted completion rate is pushing almost 80% and that's absolutely exactly what we need in berkeley with jmike, jeremiah, mavin, roe, starling & hopefully nyziah in the future
it's also very important to note that he played well despite a near lack of any support against both texas & alabama, he's got the poise to lead the bears against auburn next september in a hopefully sold out memorial stadium that will be ready to storm the field
the x factor is that chandler rogers can run with the ball, he ran for 353 yards last season...can you imagine a speedy quarterback on the field when opposing defenses already gotta account for the coach spav 2 running back sets at times with both jaydn ott & byron cardwell as be gone threats every time they touch the ball?
another factor is that chandler got 2 years of remaining eligibility which means that we got an opportunity to generate some offensive fireworks for both the 2023 & 2024 seasons in berkeley
chandler rogers is the quarterback of the future in berkeley#

big c, miller moss got the academics for berkeley (moms graduated from stanford/yale/owns architectural firm) with a 4.2 gpa but imo lacks the mobility +1 athleticism that coach spav is seeking in quarterbacks
also whereas justyn martin got 4 more years of eligibility, moss got only 3 years

knowlton notes: in 2020 cal's athletic director entered into a 15 year contract ensuring that baseball cannot be cut thru 2035, basically this means that with title ix compliance issues that rightsizing the number of financially unsustainable sports cannot happen in berkeley on a go forward basisShocky1 said:
https://instagr.am/p/CBgI0GAj6aS
interview/portrait of a con artist:
https://www.si.com/college/cal/basketball/knowlton-on-fox
let's breakdown this interview but 1st huge props to intrepid journalist jeff faraudo on this fascinating glimpse into the mind of james arthur knowlton
*****first thing to note is that knowlton originally wanted the interview to be done by email but only after persuading by faraudo agreed to talk by phone
criminals (who usually lawyer up) & politicians like to control the narrative when discussing their scams, it takes a seasoned pro like jeff to get them to speak transparently
*****knowlton only agreed to the interview under the condition that he be provided the questions in advance & then he would decide which questions he would answer
we are paying our current athletic director $1,300,000+ a year to play dodge ball with reporters???
*****when i interviewed, everyone I interviewed...hey you're at the bottom and it's going to be a tough climb"
that's an absolute bald face lie, my friend travis decuire (who was the original inspiration for cal's monster class, read the very 1st post of that thread) did not say anything that even resembles that comment, he was/is very optimistic re: the future of cal basketball
the only person who said negative **** like that was mark fox, setting himself up for his chronic repeated excuses of covid, injuries, his inability to find rogaine on sale at walgreens, etc.
and who are these coaches he interviewed?...knowlton used an expensive search firm that found him a retread because he's the only d1 athletic director in america who can't name 10 football or basketball coaches
*****"as an ad you have to show tactical patience"
are you ******* kidding me, your basketball team is 0-11 & attendance has crated to the point that certain games could be played in the rsf building
*****"mark's not making excuses"
literally every fox postgame interview (which honestly is the most fun thing about cal basketball right now) focuses on excuses, the worst one being that his players aren't listening to him
*****"i'm working with mark...to get some wins under our belt"
basketball junkies like myself find watching this team unbearable, the problem isn't injuries, it's the uncorrected broken down shooting mechanics of the vast majority of this team that is the problem...at season's end this will be one of the worst 3 point shooting teams in the nation & that's a function of a lack of development in teaching pure shooting mechanics...knowlton's lack of a basketball iq is astonishing
*****"i would say winning a national championship would satisfy everybody"
more disingenuous talk from our athletic director, no jim we would just like to beat sonoma state at this point, got it?
*****"yes, we see a way ahead"
that way ahead involves knowlton being implicated in the cover up of the mckeever/simon-o'neil abused women's swimmers & being terminated for cause by chancellor christ & then the next athletic director andrew mcgraw firing mark fox & hiring joe pasternak to passionately build a monster program
*****but way more important (than winning) is all the other things we have to do as a department to make the fan experience special"
hollow words from an athletic director who oversees the football gameday experience that is marred by the shrill sounding gameday promotional announcer who won't ever shut up when the band is playing or even after action on the field has resumed...as for basketball, markeisha everett is wildly unqualified for her role as the director of communications/marketing with no berkeley or west coast experience & as a result she is responsible for the few remaining students being moved from midcourt to behind the basket and the department's bureaucratically bloated 11 person communications department
*****"yeah, we're concerned"
jim is concerned there is growing donor/season tix holder/fanbase realization that he's in way over his head, jim is concerned that his $1,300,000+ average annual salary is gonna go away
It's not the event. It's the sport.Shocky1 said:people who think the world cup is the most pointless sporting event of all time r dumb azzsShocky1 said:
