Do you see Rogers being brought in to push for the starting job or to be a solid #2 behind Mendoza?
I think both. No doubt Mendoza is penciled in as the starter. But they probably told Rogers that he is welcome to win the spot, if he is up to it. I think this is about as good as we can do, given Mendoza looks really solid.
Just had a horrible thought: Mendoza wouldn't be leaving, would he? Unlikely, but I bet he has had overtures.
chezzers, nando has certainly won the starting position for 2024 with his play on the field & his leadership in the locker room but football is a very violent sport & chandler rogers wuz one of the most productive qbs in college football in 2023 with 3,382 passing yards, 29 touchdown passes vs only 5 interceptions & a highly accurate 62.2% completion ratio...so to answer ur question, chandler will push nando for qb1
the program now got 2 high level 2024 spring ball quarterbacks who are gonna be ready to compete in the exciting inaugural 2024 acc season, it would be ideal if true freshman ej caminong can develop next fall as a blueshirt without burning a year of eligibility
https://instagr.am/p/CdoEAm8lf5j big c, nando is a now a fellow classmate of mine in the haas biz school, the nation's #1 ranked undergraduate biz program which is worth maybe tens of millions of dollars over a lifetime
there is ZERO chance nando is gonna walk away from that degree unless harvard offers him a full ride/acceptance to the harvard law school & a guaranteed future seat on the supreme court of the united states of america, got it?
shocky's amigo de biscayne bay (where the cuban gentlemen sleep all day) is all about the academics at the #1 RANKED PUBLIC UNIVERSITY IN THE WORLD
berkeley admissions: it is significantly less difficult for chandler to get accepted into berkeley's grad cert program than for gevani to be accepted into berkeley's undergraduate program
monster assessment of DEFENSIVE production ranking:
keonte kennedy: my favorite bear plays d with a magical spring in his step & a smile on his face while exhorting his teammates via clapping/shouting to raise their defensive games...nba level d iq facilitates his understanding passing lanes & moving thru (not around) screens while attacking the defensive boards with 100% energy..keonte is just FUN to watch
jaylon tyson: nba body but not a well rounded nba game at this time tyson competes for loose balls & is a physical presence on d...his poor passing decisions leading to turnovers & often dubious shot selection es no bueno but his defensive intensity is there due to his competitive nature
gus larson: yeah the walk on is one of the few bears that actually provides off ball defensive help when teammates are beaten off the dribble & plays with verticality in tryna prevent uncontested lay ups...this team is not gonna win more games until the d improves which means larson with his length has earned more minutes on the floor
vladmir pavlovich: a lockdown pesky d presence needs to improve his shooting mechanics to earn more minutes
rodney brown: plays d with enthusiasm with is surprising for a true freshman but terrible with off ball defensive help...could be an alan crabbe presence on d with his length
jalen celestine & devin askew: ok not great on d but got major upside when they become 100% healthy
monty bowser: lou richie's dragon got bounce but not much help on off ball defensive help
nd okafor: still reaching with his hands & fouling, the principal of verticality is gonna be his friend when he figures out how to play dominant d in the paint
jalen cone: gets bullied by opposing pgs on d & for such a talented athlete closes out shockingly slow on 3 pointers
fardaws aimaq: lacks lateral footspeed, gets burned multiple times every game by his opponent attacking the rim for uncontested buckets
grant newell: not really interested in playing d, last guy back in transition down the court
shut up shocky (mr spieker not amused cuz he got worser seats)#
real talk: berkeley's peer institutions harvard, stanford, mit & yale do NOT offer an undergraduate biz program like the haas program...even a secondary academic school like ucla does not offer a biz program, only a mba
wall street, san francisco's financial district & silicon valley venture capital start ups r minted with haas b-grads#
a roaring california golden bear welcome to 2024 inside linebacker 6'3" 220 lbs luke ferrelli from carlsbad who upgraded with each flip of commitments: arizona<<<<<<<stanford<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<cal
After extensive conversations with my family, I find it in my best interest to de-commit from Stanford University. I appreciate everything the coaching staff has done for my family and I. @GregBiggins@adamgorney
luke is not a dumb azz, he got a 4.0 gpa at legoland high school & will be graduating early this month by taking 2 advanced placement classes along with multiple online classes too...he will sign on the december 20th national signing day & arrive in berkeley this january for classes in order to compete in coach sirmon's thin inside backer room during 2024 spring ball...fyi, stanford does not offer early enrollment
this is a sideline to sideline tackler who ran a blazing 4.56 40 at the texas a&m camp this summer
ferrelli is a low key low maintenance guy who didn't take an official visit to cal (he did attend cal's junior day on march 11th), luke knows the opportunity to potentially earn playing time at inside backer (the 2 deep is a very realistic goal) during the bears inaugural 2024 acc season plus a degree from the #1 ranked public university in the world is just about everything he needs except for a free buffet breakfast at the claremont
the university of california, berkeley=#1 ranked public university in the world (and only an hour flight on southwest for the fam on gamedays in the fall)
6'4" 326 lbs starting right guard febechi nwaiwu from coppell texas (competed in discus & shot put in high school) wuz a redshirt in 2021 (played in 2 games), earned multiple national freshman all american honors in 2022 & wuz a 3rd team all american conference selection 2023 despite battling thru injury issues
feb is not a dumb azz, he also got offers right now from vanderbilt & boston college
listen to this focused, articulate & high energy remarkable young man who got 2 years of remaining eligibility
look, coach bloesch wants u for his cal's monster offensive line at the university of calveston but he's too busy to call u rite now cuz he's at buc-ee's right now with his wife & 2 pirate swimming sons, ok?
yeah these r the best graphics evah, kinda looks like chandler is superman or something ripping off that green meanie jersey for a cali bear jersey underneath
howard, trust me on this, we got good food in the san francisco bay area at the #1 ranked public university in the world that's gonna play in the east coast acc with a road game at smu (our new protected annual rivalry opponent) in 2024
anyways u got much better hair than coach mike, does he really watch reruns of king of the hill?
https://instagr.am/p/1Gn2ztTJ61 goldy, to be honest with u haven't given it the thought that it deserves rite now as shocky is 100% focused on stormin' the field in shreveport this saturday nite (and not getting arrested again) & then later this month a xmas roadtrip with my kids to miami (nando has been advised NOT to order the 30 day old barracuda at sexy fish) en route to swimming with the piggys in the bahamas
the 2024 best football player from the beautiful state of alaska & recent oregon state decommit 6'1" 190 lbs +1 athlete aaron hampton just took an official visit to cal
the university of califonia, berkeley=#1 ranked public university in the world (including alyeska, the last frontier) https://www.forbes.com/top-colleges/
ursine, aaron is a senior in high school & is a 2024 high priority targeted prospect for the cal staff
most alaska recruits don't go to summer camps & aren't evaluated by internet dumb azz guys who played high school football but couldn't get a job with any college of nfl organization, stars don't mean ****...if would be like me as someone whose played the 17 world top 100 golf magazine lists asking the perky cart girl at harding park what's the best golf course in ireland, got it?
as the bears handle final examinations on the 2nd day of the 2024 fall finals academic calendar & i drive recklessly at the speed of light with the top down the 101 to noon modern yoga with the princess, a quick 32 oz green juice stop at sprouts & then my weekly 2 hour deep tissue massage at the quiet center, now is a good time to tell you again about the worst thing i ever did in berkeley
and with that being said, this isn't gonna be a pretty story
so i wrote a paper for bibliography 128, children's literature, and in rereading it felt it was a technically sound paper but that it lacked interest for the reader...so i totally fabricated & included the following opening paragraph:
"I must confess that I was made uneasy to see Anne Franks's The Diary of a Young Girl on the reading list for this class. Seeing the title on the list raised several burning questions in my mind. Why had I never read this famous book? Why had my father (after a heated and lengthy debate with my mother behind closed doors) removed this work off my bookshelf as a child? It seemed to me that the answers to these questions were somehow linked to my now deceased grandfather. Although my parents never talk about him, I remembered from various bits of information pieced together that Grandpa was a figure of dubious distinction in Hitler's brass during WWII. So I was forced to think. Why were my parents, particularly my father, so reluctant to talk about my grandfather? Could the answers to my grandfather's cloudy role in Germany during WWII be found in The Diary of a Young Girl which was so mysteriously taken off my bookshelf as a child?''
and i also rewrote the following closing paragraph:
"But despite her difficult and sometimes cruel life, Anne Frank did not feel sorry for herself and she never gave up. This is a worthwhile message for both adults and children alike. All in all, The Diary of a Young Girl is a sensitive, well written, and compelling self-portrait of a brave and spirited young girl, that at least for me, will always hold a special place on my bookshelf."
absolutely none of this is true...although i got a german last name in schulz, nobody in my family has ever had any connections with any racist groups...i grew up in a culturally mixed family that celebrates individuality & diversity, i'm a ******* mutt raised by a japanese tiger moms (also a berkeley grad)
so what did my teachers say in grading the paper?
the professor: "This a fine review, not only perceptive in its commentary but in itself very well written. I hope you will keep on writing, perhaps professionally? A+"
the teaching assistant: "Your paper was very perceptive and moving because the book had a great impact on you. Though you did not generalize about non-fiction, you approached this particular book in a sensitive and understanding way. Thank you for sharing this highly personal and emotional reaction-it was very important for me personally as an Isreali jew, well versed in the literature of the holocaust, to read your reaction to the subject. The book has made you think, grow up, seek further information, and if it has instilled in you the determination not to let the horrible and shameful history repeat itself, then it has served the purpose Anne's father had when he published her diary. A+"
i'm a flawed person but i know i need to set the record straight even if it means that i'm gonna flunk the class so i go to the ta's office hours
i walk in the door & i'm blown away...aubrey (mid to late 20s) is the cutest girl on planet earth (petite & curvy brunette yoga female with sparkling eyes & a dazzling smile) & we talk/laugh for about an hour about our favorite authors, recent concerts & the personalities of doggys...but i never tell her my paper is full of ****, i can't stand the thought of her hating me so quickly
so i ask her if she would like to go bike riding with me at muir woods & stinson beach that weekend (with the idea that i would tell her the truth & also see her in a bikini) & she tells me she would love to go out with me but that the university code of professional standards does not allow teachers to date students
i don't give up that easily so i suggest we bring our doggys, surely there can be no policy against our doggys hanging out together, right?
https://instagr.am/p/BxSgywLBG5x she looks at me with sad eyes & tells me "this isn't going to happen, it can't happen" and we say our goodbyes
fast forward to a couple of summers ago & i take my daughters shay & taylor to anne frank's house in amsterdam...i write & leave a note to both anne frank & the teacher's assistant apologizing for my actions
as the bears handle final examinations on the 2nd day of the 2024 fall finals academic calendar & i drive recklessly at the speed of light with the top down the 101 to noon modern yoga with the princess, a quick 32 oz green juice stop at sprouts & then my weekly 2 hour deep tissue massage at the quiet center, now is a good time to tell you again about the worst thing i ever did in berkeley

don't be a dumb azz#
I did. Almost got expelled. I'd have to tell you over a glass of bourbon.
