the cal monster class & om (original monsters) are flying to maui today

mr cranky pants has advised that the team's only beach time may be sunday after the bears practice...the team will then return to the bay area next thursday

be assured that if the shockster was the cal hc that the downtime would read like the script from hangover part 4: mayhem in maui (with a special guest appearance by new buddy, potus) & that bears would be the 1st team in the history of the maui invitational to lose 4 games & that jeff powers would likely never be heard from again

late breaking news from the cal idrissa diallo signing press release: iddy apparently attended the "middlebrooks academy" last year

uh, there is no middlebrooks academy at this time

diallo's mentor/coach is william middlebrooks

iddy followed him from the ribet academy to cathedral hs...both are in la

good thing that we can always count on the cal athletics media department to set the record straight...i actually thought that idrissa was being home schooled at the playboy mansion (heard that iddy liked all his "teachers" there, well maybe not the one on the far right so much)

the cal athletics media department has amended the idrissa diallo signing press release from stating iddy's prior school being the "middlebrooks academy" to the correct ribet academy

it is fascinating & gratifying to see our golden bear recruits & players make signficant strides in their personal growth with the mentoring of our honest & high character cal coaching staff

ahmaad rorie used to have a twitter account until nov of 2010 that reflected a somewhat lost street kid with a lack of focus

enter travis decuire who has coached up ahmaad rorie in many ways that extend far beyond basketball...according to john foletta's interview with ahmaad, ar & td speak literally EVERY day...rorie's current twitter account reflects that maturity & appreciation for his unlimited opportuntites

td is building a potential guard recruiting pipeline to the seattle area:

*****ahmaad rorie (2014), tacoma
*****dejounte murray (2015), rainier beach
*****isiah brown (2016), lakeside
*****jaylen nowell (2017), garfield

there is growing support among the bears donor community & cal athletic dept that someday travis decuire will be the next bb coach at the university of california, berkeley

but make no mistake about it, we are loving every minute & season that monty coaches our golden bears

kyle boller was the california state player of the year at hart hs before becoming a 4 yr starter at qb for the california golden bears

boller was a 1st round draft choice (19th pick overall) in the nfl draft & had nfl earning of $15+m

kyle (who had previously dated skanky tara reid from american pie movies) then married miss california, carrie prejean...while boller's wife may have some goofy social views, she's totally hot

the shockster watches "what not to wear" with his fashionista daughters shay & taylor and it must be reported that dk's regrettable decision to wear clashing black slacks with a black shirt accessoried by a black tie with green snowmen on it (which looks like a xmas present from aunt mildred) will NOT help him with the ladies...

alex illikainen of grand rapids minnesota (not michigan) is a fiercely competitive (sound familiar?) 6'9" 210 lbs 2015 big man with a 3.5 gpa...alex is aware of cal's reputation as the #1 public university in the world

gregg gottlieb offered illikainen this july to go along with his more than dozen offers including midwest powers minnesota, creighton & nebraska

alex has 3 ice hockey playing sisters with 2 playing collegiately at dartmouth & providence so there's a family track record of going away for better academic opportunities

the key in the bears recruitment will the coordination of an unofficial visit for the illikainen's family to the san francisco bay area

and maybe meet alex's older brother, david kravish...

j bird helped spearhead the offensive surge against a swarming syracuse d with 17 pts on 6-12 fgs including 2-5 3 pters & 3-4 fts, along with 7 boards, 2 assists & only one turnover

but jb's mental lapses in losing his man on a backcut to the basket, not blocking out his player which resulted in a thunder dunk, and then lazy inbound pass to t-wall led to the syracuse haleakala volcanic eruption to bury the bears in lava flow

freshman all american jabari bird needs to play like a fiery king kamehameha on both ends of the court

I can hear MM's voice: "He's a freshman. He'll get screened."

the bears were no match for the mentally tougher & physically stronger dayton flyers without ray charles

the most amazing story in cal bb history is perhaps the unbreakable mental toughness of leon powe

growing up in oakalnd, leon and his 6 brothers & sisters & mom connie were often homeless living in shelters, cheap hotels and even abandoned cars

powe became a mcdonalds all american at oakland tech thx to his mentors bernard ward & jonas zuckerman, an all pac 10 1st teamer at cal, a 1st round draft choice of the boston celtics, almost $4m in nba earnings, and has passionately given back & touched lives in oakland

that would be potential all american guard brittany boyd who led the bears last season to the final four in new orleans

brittany enjoys playing in front of her family (berkeley hs grad) & is the most competitive bb player to wear the golden bears uniform...bb plays her heart out every game with an emotional passion that is both her gift & her curse (less so this yr for the jr)

in speaking with brittany after games in the hallways of haas, she is both articulate & genuinely engaging (particularly to adoring young girls)...to say her fantastic smile is infectious would be an understatement

cal's heavily invested wbb hc lindsey gottlieb says it best, "she was born to be on a basketball court"

if you have never seen in person a cal women's basketball game, you are truly missing something special...watching boyd play at warp speed is like watching a comet descend upon earth

"great to see you too mr oliver" (why don't you get lost and let me spend some time with your boy alone...i could really use a drink and a xanax)

"there's no doubt you will start for us next season" (unless i can get another dumb azz 5th year senior to transfer to this crappy town...better call my agent after these guys leave, i gotta go somewhere warmer)

"cameron, there are a lot of benefits of playing for the ducks" (like those shoes, just don't be stoopid about it when you sell them like artis...man, i need a drink about now)

"i make it a point to support my players both on and off the court" (when wake forest's 6'10" 260 lbs tony woods beat the crap out of his live in girlfriend causing her spinal damage, i was the first head coach to tell him i had a spot on my roster)

"we are very selective regarding the type of players we recruit" (hey, i asked tony, are you gonna beatdown any more dumb bitches if they **** you off and he said no...there you go)

"while our 90+% admittance rate and junior college level academics haven't been understandably respected in the past, oregon is making great strides on a go forward basis" (oregon just passed the el paso school of bartending in the national college rankings)

"several of our former players have moved into management at their companies" (our last guy is now the night shift supervisor at a truck stop in medford)

"cameron, to be honest with you, i'm not sure cal is the right fit for you" (i think you are too stoopid to graduate from berkeley)

"eugene is a special place" (if you are a goddamn eskimo, my balls are literally freezing...better call my agent, maybe florida state will open up...i could really use a drink and a xanax)

"please feel free to call me directly if you have any other questions" (and leave your dumb azz dad out of this, this is between you and me...all of these academic and school crap questions are really starting to **** me off...you are a basketball player, knock if off...just one quick drink, that's all i ask, is that asking for too much?)
