who's got the best name in california high school basketball?



that would be paris austin, the 5'11" 155 lbs 2015 pg from bod who is blowing up this summer playing for dream vision on the aau circuit with strong performances at the pagnos tnt

austin is quick & aggressive although his hard charging style does lend itself to turnovers...an above average passer with a consistent mid range shot, he is not a true pg but more of a combo shooting guard with a pg's size

paris is picking up mid major offers (including one from travis decuire at montana) & is on the radar for several high major programs including cal

paris has been friends with bod teammate ivan rabb since 4th grade..."we are like brothers, we can talk about anything...we definitely want to go to the same college if we can"



the bears have taken pgs in both 2013 (singer) & 2014 (chauca) and are building strong relationships with christian terrell (2016) & damari milstead (2017)...pg class balance will likely be a factor in cal's evaluation & potential recruitment of the dragons pg...austin's ability to be multiple as a combo is a big plus in his evaluation/recruitment

paris in berkeley is definitely a possibility

bonsoir, monsieur austin...paris c'est magnifique!



congrats to the 2014 6th annual nor cal clash mvp paris austin...the 2015 all stars beat the 2016 all stars 114-100 in not quite a defensive stuggle

austin filled up the stat sheet with 18 pts, a jason kidd like 11 assists, 8 redunkulous boards & 4 thefts

paris is being evaluated by the bears staff & currently has offers from florida state, boise state, san jose state, tulsa, utah state, loyola marymout, pacifc and montana (td is officially tripping him the weekend of sept 12th)

expect austin to continue his rapid development under the mentoring & coaching of bod hc lou richie

carlos johnson a 6'5" 235 lbs (cuonzo martin clone) 2016 power wing unofficially visited berkeley last week & was offered today by the bears staff

johson is originally from centralia, illinois & attends state champion shadow mtn hs (mike bibby is an alum) in phx... he averaged 20.5 ppg & 8.3 rpg for the matadors as a soph

check out this explosive breakaway behind the back dribble & throw down in the state finals as part of his 26 pts & 11 boards
http://msn.foxsports.com/arizona/story/carlos-johnson-dunks-with-a-behind-the-back-flourish-in-shadow-mountain-win-030314

carlos is playing this summer for the oakland soliders

carlos, congrats!:woohoo

carlos johnson will be an el cerrito yellowjacket this fall & threw down a thunderous game high 31 pts in today's 2014 6th annual nor cal clash

Carlos Johnson at the NorCal Clash (now playing at El Cerrito), displayed his ability to fill up the box score with his game-high 31 points (on 50% shooting, including three 3s), 7 boards, and 2 assists



And yes, former Cal guard, and Coach Sir Richard Midgley will certainly put in a good word for Cal

Carlos would be an awesome add to fuel Cal's fast break offense

the bears staff is actively scouting 6' 155 lbs 2016 top 100 player jordan ford a fiery pg from folsom (sacramento) & an oakland soliders teammate of oscar frayer



jordan is from a close family as dad cuezar played baseball at uc santa barbara, mom ann encourages his strong academic work in the classroom & sister jennifer who is 3 years older used to kick his azz in basketball games

ford scored 22.6 ppg, 3.6 apg, 4.2 rpg & 2.4 spg in leading folsom to a 32-3 record...the bulldogs lost 63-54 in the division ii championship game at sleepy train arena to st john bosco despite 20 pts from their uber competitive leader



after a strong summer starting for the soliders, ford's recruitment is starting to pick up velocity with offers from numerous mid majors including pepperdine...with a strong academic profile, an undeniable will to compete & an unselfish approach to the game, and a tight family that attends all of his games, a potential future offer from the local #1 ranked public university in the world might be a simple solution to jordan's collegiate decision

cal family#

jordan ford scored 18 pts w/8 boards in the 2014 6th annual nor cal clash...only bad **** to be said about jordan is that he's also interested in stanford

I don't think Young will hold onto that # 1 nor cal ranking much longer unless he grows a few inches. I'd expect it to be more like Frayer, Kone, Johnson, Terrell, and Ford with Young sixth.

took my fashionista daughters shay & taylor and their friends katie and carson (uncle jeff hornaceck played in the nba & is currently the phx suns head coach) to the antlers (indie band from brooklyn) concert tonite at the crescent ballroom in downtown phx

shaylor live music rules stipulate that i cannot stand by them unless they initiate such proximity to their dad

oh well

There is a school in Eugine
They call U of Oregon
It's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
Sewed my shirts and shorts
My father was a D-league scout
Didn't know nothin' but sports

Now the only thing the scout man needs
Is a suitcase and a phone
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's all stoned

Admission was no problem
Boy can you shoot the three?
That's all they ask of the incoming class
Up here at the U of Nike

They said I'd be a starter
On my way to the NBA
But things went bad when they signed some grad
To take my spot away

I did not have no money
So I sold my Nike gear
Got caught in bed with a drunk coed
Now I'm out of here

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
What will I be with no worthless degree
From the U of Oregon

There is a school in Eugine
They call U of Oregon
It's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

what player in the pac 12 has the disruptive length & skillset to most resemble the playing style of nba rookie of the year michael carter-willliams of philly?



what california golden bear most resembles samuel l jackson in unbreakable?



who will cuonzo martin & staff rely upon for upperclassmen leadership next season?



tyrone "let's rumble" wallace significantly improved his perimeter shooting from his freshman season & was the bear's best defender at times

but his game last season was erratic with the low pt at the asu game in tempe when mike montgomery lit up t-wall during a timeout after he inexplicably failed to dive for a loose ball near the bears bench...when play resumed, mike turned sideways to td and said "they're not listening" & shook his head

tyrone needs to bring it every moment he is on the court & also continue improving his outside jumper & shot selection...he is virtually unstoppable when he attacks the rim, if he wants to get paid $ playing bb down the road, that's gonna be his $ move

the dude always has a smile on his face, t-wall just gotta love it not hate it
http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=fifty+cent+love+it+hate+it+video&FORM=VIRE2#view=detail&mid=2CA55FB70EA62AC4DA632CA55FB70EA62AC4DA63

"to the best mom i could ask for...broke her back for a long time to make sure her kids were taken care of...did it on your own, always made sacrifices for me and my siblings and i love and appreciate you for that!...the strongest woman i know...literally my bestfriend, i call you when i'm sad or make dumb mistakes so you can make me feel better...we're argued, cried and laughed together but no matter what, you are always going to be my heart!...a true bestfriend bond that can never be broken!...you've always believed in me and been my #1 fan!...i just hope that one day that i can take care of you because you deserve it!...my inspiration, my hero!...i love you baby"

-tyrone wallace

tyrone wallace=man of steel

from an offensive strategy standpoint, t-wall starting at the 4 will create exploitable mismatches against slower, bigger power forwards that will allow him to relentlessly attack the basket which is the strength of his game...wallace's outside 3 pt shooting will also be more in rhythm (when his mechanics are rushed he tends to be inaccurate) against defenders that are not as quick as 2s & 3's to close out on him & contest his shot

wallace's biggest challenges will be on d against taller true 4s with skills like arizona's brandon ashley

t-wall is critical to the success of the 2014 bears

the california golden bears are actively targeting 2015 top 25 6'4" 180s lbs scoring machine tyler dorsey



dorsey made a decommitment to arizona after he was cut from the usa basketball under 18 basketball team by assistant coach sean miller...the wildcats staff envisioned tyler playing strictly the 2 despite his interest & ability to be multiple

last season at st john bosco (he knows the charismatic bryce treggs) tyler averaged 21.4 ppg, 6 rpg & 4.7 apg and a solid 3.3 gpa



a native of pasadena, dorsey will transfer back home to marantha for his sr season

tyler has offers (with a list that continues to grow) from national powerhouses but in terms of staying on the west coast (and playing against arizona in the pac 12) & playing for a hc who develops combo guard talent at the #1 ranked public university in the world, the bears will be a serious player when he confirms his official visits

cuonzo & co will have an official in home visit with tyler & his family on sept 9th

lindsay is a fun & engaging conversationalist with a great smile that is 100% committed to returning the bear's to the final four again after 2012's epic season...she is strengthening her staff with the addition of devanei hampton as a graduate assistant coach who will also be finishing up her cal degree...devanei is an oakland tech hs grad & good friends with marshawn lynch...we talked about getting beast mode to future wbb games...if you have never attended a cal wbb game, you gotta go this season & experience the energy of the bears led by sr all american pg brittnay boyd, a former star with the berkeley yellow jackets, who is in the best shape of her life & ready to lead her teammates



also important to note that lindsay is a huge fan of cuonzo martin & his staff and that they are working together with respects to certain bay area recruiting priorities for both programs
