I'm ready. Let's all drink some Kool Aid!!!
Here we gooooooooo
Damn, Mark is tall. Knowlton is like a midget next to him.
Christ speaking now
Christ keeps calling our sports team "Cal" - so much for that working group on branding!
LOL the muted applause for Knowlton
"Very busy" Jim Knowlton was apparently too busy to call key donors.

Madsen up now!
A nice blue and gold tie worn by Madsen
Talking about his familiarity with the bay area and high school scene
I'm in love with him
Talking about his first official visit to Cal!
Says the recruitment of him at Cal dropped off with the coaching change
Love it!! Talking about a tradition of winning and restoring Cal basketball to that standard
I'm ready to run through a wall for Mark
He is crushing this!
Pillars of the rebuild:
1. Recruiting- keep the best California players at Cal
2. Aggressive in the transfer portal
3. Recruit nationally/internationally
4. Player development -- just like Phil Jackson talked to Madsen about the triangle offense
5. Style of play- uptempo, fast. Plays to strengths of players
6. Off the court- amazing academics, Cameron Institute
7. Family atmosphere - treat players like his own kids
8. Preparation - nobody will outwork us
9. Staff - is currently finalizing members
10. NIL - Believes Cal is on the path to becoming leader nationally for NIL (and playing by rules). NOT pay to play. Community & youth engagement
11. Admissions - Cal is #1 public school in the world. Thus need to cast a broad net. Talking with admissions to go case by case
12. Past players/coaches - Will connect with them
A vision of hanging banners. A vision of traffic to come watch Cal. A vision of greatness

Mark's "I Have A Vision" speech
I can so see guys like Joel brown flourishing under Mad Dog. maximizing strengths-- his speed is insane
Says we are a sleeping giant
I just got a lower body twinge when he said "sleeping giant".
what a beast!! when he was talking to roxy, the mic picked up what their private convo was, a little bit- loved that he said he wanted to 'stay out' and meet as many people as possible before the media portion. LOVE IT!!!
Press conference wont be televised? Feed sketching
Go Bears!

I'm sure a lot of us connected with what he had to say about becoming fan on those 90s teams. He said he met Kidd, Lamond, Buckley on a recruiting trip. Lamond judged his high school dunk contest. He said the girls at his high school all had crushes on Randy Duck. He recalled his battles against Gonzalez and Lampley. Called out Leon multiple times who's in attendance. LOVED HEARING THIS.
Yes. He could come back. Ill let Madsen decide. No comment.ncbears said:Isn't Brown in the portal?eastcoastcal said:

There now is a caption at the bottom ofbthe screen indicating press questions will be covered. Not sure why there is a 20 minute delay
Go Bears!
Not trying to get too enamored with Madsen on day 1 but his charisma is off the charts compared to Fox. His candor is so refreshing. Nailed that intro!
^^. Joel's speed is unbelievable and with better skills development I think he could be a fantastic weapon off the bench or as part of a second unit. Mad Dog could utilize him well. Every team could use a guy who can just get to the rimoskidunker said:Yes. He could come back. Ill let Madsen decide. No comment.ncbears said:Isn't Brown in the portal?eastcoastcal said:

Brown's problem was never getting to the rim. It's what he did once he got there.eastcoastcal said:^^.
