Shocky,
I like your sh*t. Keep it up brother and don't listen to the doubters or trolls. I'm also cool with more Allison Stokke, Morgan Beck and Alex Morgan references and pictures.
Drinks on me when we meet.
Go Bears!

Calling on the Shockster, please don't go MIA on us with all of the questions cropping up on the Basketball Board....
Would love your comments on a number of recent developments:
- How did Idrissa Diallo's visit go? Sure hoped he would commit on the spot and don't like the idea of him visiting wild Eugene this weekend. Hope he can see himself fitting in better with true student/athletes and high class/high character players we have better than the hired guns at U of Nike. Idrissa is reputed to love warm weather and Eugene is expecting an uncharacteristically nice October weekend, with a sunny Saturday and temps in the low 70's. When our eldest considered the U of O years ago we were happy to have his visit timed with a rainy day to give him a good idea of what to expect. Naturally he selected the University of California (Davis) instead...
- Mr. Welsh is clearly doing his due diligence in his college selection process and we were happy to hear today that he plans another visit to Cal. It sure seems that our group of scholar athletes will be a better fit for an academic (and basketball) minded athlete like Thomas than the trust fundsters at UCLA. On the other hand it was not good to hear that he will also visit Stanfurd but hopefully he can see that Monty's development of big men is miles ahead of Stanfurd.
- And finally, a recent poster on the basketball board mentioned a dour outlook on the players, season and recruitment of Mr. Rabb. Curious as to whether you have seen that post from "til we wobble" and wondering if he may have spoken with jj. If so is that someone who generally plays things close to the vest and conservatively, kind of a glass half empty, don't count your chickens before they hatch person. After all, Monty himself has seemed uncharacteristically positive about his frosh and optimistic about this team...
Given the unfortunate football season the interest in basketball insights (and good news) is at an all time high...

as i wait with a cal buddy for our delayed flight to scotland* now is a good time to share the story of jason kidd's recruitment
*we will be traveling to trump's new course in aberdeen to continue my quest of playing the golf magazine world top 100 courses, the trump course is the sole new entrant to the 2013 list that i have not yet played...other highlights will include the machrie on the isle of islay (immortalized by the long and winding road), my favorite course in scotland the quirky cruden bay and of course, a return to the home of golf, the old course at st andrews
when kidd was with the phx suns, i used to host j, the team's asst coach frank johnson (later become the hc before losing too many games & having an affair with the also married wife of the suns largest corporate sponsor resulted in him being fired (kidz, that's that's the quickest way to throw away a promising career) along with my close friend the now deceased dr gary mack (the team shrink...counseled j on marital issues with mrs crazytown, joumana) at my summer club in flagstaff, forest highlands (which is considered the augusta national of arizona)
j told me during one of our rounds together that his final college list included kansas, arizona, ohio state & kentucky with the jayhawks probably the leader despite his never actually ever visiting lawrence...he started playing in informal pick up games at harmon organized by his friend monty buckley...j told me there was a defining epiphany like moment when walking thru a grove of trees near the creek north of harmon with his bb bag over his shoulder on a beautiful bay area afternoon that it all came together for him
kidd realized how much he loved his mom & dad and that he wanted to share his college experience with them...it was that simple in jk's mind-he never even made an official visit to cal, there was no need to do so
so j played in front of his mom & dad and friends at the #1 public university in the world before moving on to generate $200+m in nba earning before recently being named the hc for the brooklyn nets
i last saw j at whisper rock a yr ago & he told me that he's never regretted his time at cal...he cherishes the collegiate memories he shared with his parents, dad steve died in 1999 (real talk, our parents will not love live forever and our time with them is limited)
fast forward & another top player in the usa from oakland is faced with similar choices/opportunities
what are your priorities in life, ivan?

jim mcgill (check out his sam singer article today) of this site, ryan gorcey & josh gershon (extensive player evaluations) & john foletta (has broken several major stories including cal's 2017 commit) all provide excellent coverage of cal bb
if finances are available, cal fans should subscribe to all 3 sites
every morning after i check on my golf course architecture/rankings correspondence i scan the wall steet journal, new york times & the local arizona republic in a loosely conceived scheme to be semi informed...multiple sources are the key to a well rounded knowledge base
my conversation with josh gershon reads like a boxing match
gershon offers up a real backhanded compliment of jordan mathews, labeling him a "classic overachiever"
reminds me of when i finished my quest of playing the world's top 100 courses (there are a dozen of us that have achieved this feat & i'm the youngest) at nine bridges on jeju island in south korea...golf magazine south korea's editor interviewed me and asked me for my thoughts on nine bridges
i smiled & honestly told him that nine bridges is clearly the best course it south korea, that it is also the best conditioned course in asia & that the risk/reward par 5 finishing hole with an island green is one of the most dramatic 18th holes in golf
i did not mention that i think there are 1000+ courses in the uk alone that are better than nine bridges...

If that's true regarding Solo and remains to be true, that's great news.
If he gets the max from his ability pretty consistently this year, with the major upgrade in depth and talent, this will be a very dangerous team.

No. I'll see what I can find out.

Nothing serious with either guy.
Kravish bruised his knee a bit when he fell but he could've played. Solomon's not serious either. Looks like he'll play in the exhibition next week, too.

Reading the article today about Singer reminded me of his HS teammate - Trey Mourning and the talk last year that he has interest in Cal.
He doesn't show up in the BI recruiting database - anyone know the his situation?
LOUMFSG2;842205013 said:
Shocky - I may have missed something, but is there a 2017 commit, or a 2017 recruit who is considered a Cal lean at this point?

*****cal academic tutors
for successfully cleaning up the ben braun academic cesspool as evidenced by the bb team's recent apr of 955...with the current roster of true student athletes, this # is likely to escalate toward 1000 in the future
who are these bears?
alan crabbe-3.3 gpa@price (honorary team member/current playing w/portland trail blazers)
justin cobbs-3.39 gpa@bishop montgomery
richard solomon-3.5 gpa@price

garrett galvin-4.0 gpa@torrey pines
jabari bird-3.0+gpa@salesian
jordan mathews-3.55 gpa@santa monica

kameron rooks-3.5 gpa@mission hills
roger moute a bidias-3.0+ gpa@notre dame
amhaad rorie-3.6 gpa@lincoln & montverde academy
cal fans can expect every player listed above to either leave cal with a degree and/or a nba contract...hopefully the bears' future nba players will eventually return to cal like former nba all star shareef abdur rahim, 3.8 gpa@cal, to graduate
of the 300+ ncaa d1 bb teams, cal is among the most academically elite programs along with duke, stanford, the ivy leagues & the service academies
if anyone can document a d1 bb program (other than the programs listed above) that has student athletes as academically gifted as cal, i will donate $5000 to a university of california (berkeley) educational scholarship program of their choice in their name
#50 yr decision
the university of california, berkeley=#1 ranked public university in the world

the cal bb family should also schedule a movie night together to watch looking for sugar man, an unbelievable true story
one of the most remarkable individuals of personal strength (and we're talking nelson mandela level humility & courage) is sixto rodriguez, an american musician from detroit
rodriguez toiled a life of hard labor thinking his music career had never taken off when if fact his music has been wildly popular in south africa for decades...and you won't believe what happens when he finally travels to cape town for sold out concerts for his longtime adoring fans (who thought he had died yrs ago)...
would be very interesting to the comments of roger moute a bidias after the movie
gonna tell the truth, this movie made the shockster cry (in an uplifting way)
looking for sugar man won the best documentary award at the 85th oscars in hollywood this year
sixto is truly unbreakable
