Happy for him. I hope, for him, he is happy there . I would have preferred to keep him. Now we have to close at least on of W and S. Both would work.
agreed wc, let's extend best wishes for jackson in growing up but make no mistake about it that cam'ron johnson & matthew wykoff are the most important recruits of the justin wilcox 6 season era in berkeley

cam'ron & matthew r both UNICORNS

cal's monster offensive line got their azzs handed to them during spring ball & wuz gonna limit the program to at best another 5-6 victory season which could be fatal to the fatigued fanbase

there is a strong possibility that cam'ron will accompany his good friend/houston teammate tackle trevonte sylvester on his official visit to berkeley this weekend

the o-line room's laid back chill vibe has resulted in candy azz soft o-line play, coach bloesch is changing the trajectory of the entire program with his mentally/physically tough as **** texas trench workers

x-man, this is a devastating recruiting loss that could have significant adverse implications for the 2023 season unless guard brian driscoll takes his game to the next level this offseason

a potential mid week official visit from another trench worker is the plan



Admin edit: Players can say one thing and do another. Peddling fake news about Cam'Ron Johnson to pretend to be in the know and instead calling the truth fake news will earn a post edit. More will earn a post delete. Even more will earn a locked thread. Clear?

got a text into my golf buddy mr silverleaf sun angel to see if jaylon is on the official visit to the valley of the sun

expect announcements from jaylon & jordyn to be at the same time
mr sun angel update: dilly is no longer focusing on the ohio state wr transfer caleb burton that also took an official visit to tempe this weekend, that means jordyn (official visit to the valley of the sun) is now the #1 wr on the asu big board

bros will announce at the same time, jaylon is not on an official visit to the asu basketball program

insider tip: jaylon is not interested in playing for brandon jones

got it?

max homa & michael kim are gonna be paired together tomorrow morning as a twosome at the pga stop at quail hollow, both are 8 under par & tied for 9th place

colin morikawa (the haas biz ad grad reverted back to the claw this week, still can't make a putt), james hahn (haas biz ad grad missed the cut by a stroke) & byeong hun an (very strong 2023 season thus far) all missed the cut

max (same b-day as shocky, the big game on nov 19th under scorpio skies) & michael will both enjoy the comfortable pairing as they surely get caught up re: their cal teammates from the greatest team in the history of college golf that won an unprecedented 11 out of 13 tournaments: brandon hagy (the haas biz ad grad got the 2nd fastest ball speed in golf), joel stalter (the haas biz ad grad frenchman plays on the euro tour) & michael weaver (the haas biz ad grad lipped out a 4 foot putt on the 18th hole at cherry hills that would've won the us amateur, easily the most brutal golf shot in the history of cal golf)...everybody loves des

and yeah as readers of cal's monster class a couple of years later it's no surprise that they got some of the most popular twitter readerships on the pga tour with some funny **** that don't take itself too seriously

the challenge of the current basketball roster construction is that all of the combo guards got a scorer's mentality (which is a good thing for a scoring challenged team last season that often struggled to score 50+ points in game) but trey woodbury is unique in that he not only knocked down 40% of his 3 pointers last season but his distributing/facilitating mindset also makes his teammates better

cal's monster offensive line recruiting update:

in evaluating player athleticism & academic achievement along with king of the hill coach bloesch's ties to texas in his quest to reconstruct the cali candy azz soft o-line into a lone star state smash mouth operation, the #1 targeted monster tackle in the transfer portal is the houston friend & teammate of cam' ron johnson (on an official this weekend to missouri) 6'5" 285 lbs trevonte sylvester from breaux bridge louisiana

sylvester played in all 12 cougar games this season (114 snaps, did not allow any sacks/qb hits in 16 opportunities) at left tackle as a redshirt freshman, he got 3 years of remaining eligibility...his mobility & violent finishing of plays stands out in his above video

trevonte is not a dumb azz, he earned american athletic conference all academic team honors

coordinating an official visit to the fantastic weather/ethnically diverse san francisco is the next step


the university of california, berkeley=#1 ranked public university in the world (for those that want to create family generational wealth both on the football field & thru intellectual capitalism)
UNICORN watch in berkeley california:

trevonte sylvester is gonna take an official visit to cali this weekend

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM ******* BOOM

THE UNICORN TO BERKELEY, REPEAT, THE UNICORN TO BERKELEY

THE CAL FOOTBALL PROGRAM GOT A LOT ******* BETTER TODAY

3 YEARS OF REMAINING ELIGIBILITY IS BETTER THAN 1 & DONE

golf digest just released the magazine's biennial ranking of the 2023 top 100 golf courses in the united states

not surprisingly i've played all 100 courses on the new list which keeps my streak alive of playing every list since 1995, to finish the 1993 list shocky would just need to play pete dye's old marsh club in palm beach but to be honest with you i would rather just dine at sexy fish & sleep in the next day kinda like the cuban gentlemen in biscayne bay

congrats to elite speedster wide receiver mason mangum graduating next saturday in a remarkable 3 and a half years with a degree in data science, yeah berkeley is the #1 ranked college in the united states for that major ahead of the massachusetts institute of technology & stanford

if mason decides to pursue his post grad elite educational aspirations in berkeley, he got the potential to be the MONSTER breakout player of the 2023 season

congrats to michael kim on a spectacular sunday final round playing in a very comfortable twosome with former teammate max homa (finished tied for 8th with a final round 70) in a pressure filled 69 which got him a 7th place finish, a $675,000 paycheck & invitation to july's british open

the above instructional video is for terrence, good mechanics/fundamentals start at an early age but to be honest with you never realized there's a driving range by the eiffel tower...ur protege got a squared up alignment with a closed stance which will promote a right to left ball flight, a little bit of a chicken wing with the right elbow on the backswing, good flexibility in getting the club past parallel & then a nice release thru the ball with proper weight transfer & a high follow thru

let's be very clear here, the cal football & basketball staffs are putting up a fence around the state of texas, this is bear territory (unless ur dumb as **** with a lousy gpa, then baylor or texas a&m or something is a good option in making sure u don't gotta read books & **** like that)

calveston (just ask the mapmakers)#

the university of calveston=#1 ranked public university in the world (including padre island, clothes r for losers)

glen campbell (former host of the los angeles open pga tournament):

back in the day shocky graduated from the haas biz school & accepted a corporate opportunity with a fortune 500 company in downtown san francisco which wuz fun in a m82 midnite city kinda way, rode the cable car down to my office on california street & sometimes drank too much (wuz not into yoga/meditation then, that enlightenment came later so there's still hope for s&c coach brian johnson) on wild azz friday nights often in the bermuda triangle in the city by the bay

but then took a lucrative transfer to phoenix, did not know a single person...loved the desert lifestyle in the winter but the summers wuz brutal...so in my mid 20s i somehow rounded up the scrappy funds to join forest highlands golf club in flagstaff which is the augusta national of arizona which got average day temps of the 70s/80s in the summer

so show up the 1st day the club opens for the new season on may 1st & the head pro mark johnson (now the general manager of the martis camp club in truckee) tells me he's gonna put me in the saturday morning men's choose up with some wily much older guys who wanna meet the new kid...fantastic, let's do this

so the other 3 guys are jerry colangelo (at that time the owner of the phoenix suns), the ceo of the arizona republic chip weil & glen campbell...they welcomed me in the best way possible intentionally walking in my putting line, making fun of my nickname & offering to hook me up with a suns dancer

anyways after the round campbell graciously invited me to his house at the end of the 16th fairway on the right side with dramatic canyon views of the 18th hole & we later played a couple of rounds at his valley club phoenix country club (he lived at the biltmore)

glen did a lot of crazy **** which is why he moved to arizona where he could focus more on golf/music & not all night parties in the hollywood hills, he didn't really write any of his songs but the lyrics to rhinestone cowboy are pretty autobiographical & help me remember a now passed on golf buddy who lived life to its fullest (but not without regrets too)

https://instagr.am/p/BouB7rthhSs
he would laugh for sure if wuz still alive if i tole him about calveston (we would probably even have a bears recruiting video with campbell singing the above shocky lyrics)

exclusive monster 2023/2024 mark madsen roster construction plan:

the ncca allows 13 schollys for men's basketball, last season the roster wuz as follows with new 2023 players in special font:

guards:
devin askew (not a true point guard, coach cal recruited him to kentucky as a 2)
joel brown (graduate transfer portal to iona, haas biz ad degree)
dejuan clayton (turning pro, berkeley grad cert recipient)
jarred hyder (graduate transfer portal to cal poly slo, legal studies degree)
rodney brown (2023 recommitment sharpshooter, alan crabbe is the cal player comparison)
jalen cone (2023 grad transfer from northern arizona, gotta lotta strawberry on his jam, impact player with potential nba upside)
mike meadows (2023 grad transfer from portland, microwave scorer than needs to become more gameday consistent)
keonte kennedy (2023 grad transfer from memphis, the versatile guard presents a size mismatch for opponents at the 2)

wings:
grant newell (the future of cal basketball)
jalen celestine (apparently healthy & ready to growl again)
sam alajiki (transfer portal to rice)
obinna anyanwu (in transfer portal)
monty bowser (how do u shoot 92.6% on free throws & 27.3% on 3 pointers?)
marsalis roberson (in transfer portal)
jaylon tyson (2023 transfer from texas tech, impact starter at the 3 with potential nba upside)

posts:
lars thieman (graduate transfer portal to loyola marymount, nutrition science major)
kuany kuany (in graduate transfer portal, sociology major)
nd okafor (huge athletic upside)
devin curtis (2023 recommitment bouncy post gotta live in the weight room & eat 5 meals a day)
fardaws "big maple" aimaq (2023 grad transfer from texas tech/utah valley, impact player with potential nba upside)

right now coach masden got 5 returning players & 7 2023 recruits for a total of 12 players

this team got 20+ victories & ncca selection potential if the combo guards unselfishly facilitate/distribute their teammates & if fardaws stays healthy/out of foul trouble

this could be an elite 3 point shooting team with big maple posting up down low with 4 marksmen letting it fly but the reality is that all teams get cold shooting nights every now & then particularly on the road (including the big dance) against nationally ranked opponents

and that's why aziz bandaogo is the UNICORN that is necessary for the california golden bears to compete for a serious 2023 national championship run, the +2 athlete is the generational talent that provides a defensive presence to change all opponent shots within 10 feet of the bucket, he's that good & that's how championships are won even when the shots aren't dropping offensively

yeah u would have to be crazy to think mad dog & his staff/roster could be the last team standing at the big dance

aziz, can't even imagine what the mental stress toil would be moving to another continent away from family & friends and now everyone telling u what do

wish u nothing but the best as u sort thru ur options & make a final decision of what's gonna be ur best course of action

jaylen brown's similar decision wuz based on elite academic considerations (building his brand thru intellectual capitalism) & also surrounding himself with those that truly love him

50 years ago rodriquez wuz a star in south africa until he mysteriously disappeared but now he's back, his sugar man story of mental strength & lack of bitterness against those who exploited him for decades will truly send tears down ur cheek

what is the most important strategy that is 100% controllable that will maximize crowd attendance during the 2023 season with insane gameday noise energy turning haas into a hostile home court venue & also ensure a future pipeline of a fanatical season tix/donor fanbase?

answer: letting all the berkeley students in for FREE on gamedays, this is what san diego state did in investing in the program's future...with berkeley's current mission statement these days including the matriculation of 1st time family members going to college and graduating thereby breaking longtime cyclical patterns of non degreed families it's important to recognize that there's a lotta students on campus that cannot afford basketball or football season tixs

there's an almost zero probability that any student that does not participate in the magic of cal athletics on gamedays will ever become a season tix buyer/donor once they graduate from berkeley even if they build generational wealth

the con artist has fought this measure in the past & markeisha everett has failed to make any innovative decisions that will increase the fanbase during her time in berkeley, will they finally decide to invest in the future?

coach bloesch with the offer to 2025 6'6" 265 lbs poly bad warrior offensive tackle siosiua netane vete from bay area tennyson high school, yeah siosiua knows the javien "the jet" thomas from mack is staying home so his family & friends can watch him on saturdays in the fall at memorial stadium

vete got an unreal 84.5' wingspan, those are nfl measurements

siosiua is not a dumb azz, he got a 3.83 gpa, he's not gonna pick some academically mediocre college or something, that's not gonna happen

as the director of recruiting for cal's monster offensive line absolutely love this offer, what time is benj's cookout?

the university of california, berkeley=#1 ranked public university in the world (including the pacific islands & kansas)

the monster made a post a month ago wondering why there aren't any interviews with james arthur knowlton, that post has since disappeared but no worries here are my questions & the responses from beth tafolla-voetsch the senior associate athletics director & chief development officer reprinted in their entirety (beth's answers are in italics)

question: I've been told my multiple major donors that Knowlton has been allegedly been told by Jennifer Simon-O'Neil that "for every dollar spent on men's basketball that a dollar needs to be spent on women's basketball," I'd like to get to the bottom of that misinterpretation of Title IX which is not shared by any other University in the nation.

answer: We need to invest in our men's basketball program and our commitment to gender equity won't impact our commitment to a successful men's basketball program. It should be noted, the law does not require us to spend the same amount of money but does require the experience of student-athletes to be equitable. We believe in gender equity and are committed to equitable experience for our student-athletes.

question: I'd also like to know if Jennifer Simon-O'Neil has signed off any academic silver bullet admissions for any incoming women's athletes during the last 5 years and if so how the compliance team is monitoring her potential engagements with those families to ensure there are no Varsity Blues repercussions.

answer: We would ask you to please reference the Cal Athletics Department Policy Manual that we shared with you last fall.

question: Would also like Markeisha Everett's marketing plans for Cal football and basketball, how come both programs are not making inroads in selling tickets with those without a Berkeley affiliation (particularly families) that are priced out of buying Golden State Warriors tixs and with the departure of the Oakland Raiders?

answer: Our pricing model for football and basketball is reflective of the market we are in and we have affordable tickets and payment plans for fans.

question: How are these 2 market share spaces being systematically pursued for season tix/gameday tixs selling opportunities?

answer: We continue to do market research and implement strategic plans to make us competitive in the market.

question: Why does she (Markeisha Everett) still got a 11 person communications team, can the coaches of these non revenue sports not write their own gameday reports which would allow this department to be rightsized to a couple of employees like her peer institutions that don't have Big 10 financed affluence?

answer: Our athletic communications staff has a myriad of duties in addition to writing game recaps and their work helps ensure our coaches can focus on our student-athletes.

question: Has Tom Lowry borrowed any funds either externally or internally from the University during the last year and if so what are the repayment terms for that debt?

answer: Yes, the department has. Please contact the Campus CFO to inquire about the repayment terms for the bridge loan we took from the campus in FY22.

further update: I've asked Beth for a one or two sentence response summarizing the total dollars that have been borrowed from the Central Campus.

question: Was Coach Charmin Smith's contract extended another year like other coaches due to COVID and when does her current contract expire?

answer: Yes all coaches including Coach Smith's contract was extended due to the pandemic.

question: What steps is the Athletic Department taking to reduce costs given the uncertainty of future revenue flow?

answer: We continue to monitor the changing landscape of college athletics and will continue to review and adapt when necessary. We are always looking for ways to increase revenue and hold down costs. Over the past three years, we have instituted hiring slowdowns, temporary pay reductions for coaches/staff, and reductions to sport and administrative operating budgets in order to balance revenue with expenses.

question: Will Knowlton consent to an interview with me?

answer:

as this transparent conversation indicates beth is an exemplary senior employee doing her best in a challenging work environment with both of the department's top 2 ranked bureaucrats currently under investigation by the chancellor's office which will hopefully result in their terminations & potentially even criminal charges

when the con artist & o'neil are walked to their cars, andrew mcgraw will be hired as the next athletic director to bring focus to the revenue sports of football & basketball while downsizing the currently financially unsustainable 30+ sports with beth tafolla-voetsch promoted to the #2 position within the department

the curse of the red baron (shut up, shocky)#
