the cal staff is reaching out to north dakota state 6'9" 235 lbs elite unicorn grant nelson from tiny devil lakes nd, he is also in the nba draft evaluation process along with the transfer portal with 2 years of remaining eligiblity
17.9 ppg including 43% on 3 pointers & 9.3 rpg this season, grant is receiving interest from all the major basketball factories along with the nba...his gf soraya is on the track team & loves cali

the university of california, berkeley=#1 ranked public university in the world (including the peace garden state)
update: there's a near zero chance nelson is gonna end up in berkeley, right now he's 100% focused on the nba draft process (he can still withdraw his name) & doing individual workouts with multiple nba organizations
his back up plan (which is 100% managed by his 15 year older bro justin who is an insurance broker in bismarck) is his concurrently listing his availability in the transfer portal...grant got several options including kentucky in the aziz nil range ($1,000,000+) so this isn't gonna happen
the #1 priority on the staff's big board is still trey woodbury, he still needs ncca eligibility approval for his appeal on the earlier denial of a 6th year) but more critically a sufficient cal nil offer (trey will accept less money than the open marketplace to play for his former utah valley staff)
