welcome stephen domingo and his parents kirsten bibbins-domingo & patrick domingo to the cal family



at a late in the season meb fund breakfast (i did not attend but other meb guys kept me updated) mike montgomery indicated that stephen domingo was an identified transfer prospect & that jakob poeltl was basically a silent commit (still needed to complete the necessary cal international student application process)

domingo was rated as a top 30 prospect & had actionable offers from arizona, louisville, harvard (yanni), stanford, etc. after blowing up in summertime aau ball...his blue chip offer lists suggests elite potential talent & skillsets

the family's decision to forego their only child's sr yr of hs to enroll at georgetown surprised the st ignatius staff as they were not consulted & there were questions re: how he could matriculate in college without a hs degree

the 6'6" domingo played hs ball at 190 & is now 206 lbs but still needs significant s&c strength to play in cuonzo martin's up tempo intense d/rebounding system

stephen is considered a likeable high character young man who was successful in hs speech contests & also earned a 3.4 gpa at the academically rigorous si

domingo is a pure scorer & will benefit from the blueshirt yr in building up his body, restoring his shooting confidence & practicing in a team concept (he focused more on aau ball than hs ball & then didn't play much at georgetown)



stephen is finishing up his coursework in washington, d.c. & will then arrive home this summer to begin the transition of becoming the bear's newest player

yeah, the san francisco native will also get more of mom's home cooking too

city by the bay#

***********************************************************

"georgetown was just not the right basketball opportunity for me...i'm going forward and cal will be a place i can flourish and show what i can do...coach martin said i'll be able to use my length and athleticism on the defensive end and i can be a matchup problem on offense"

Stoked for a coach that uses the world athleticism, Cal, and creating match up problems in the same sentence.

"where i like the coaching staff and where the head coach is the main one talking to me so i know they really want me...if the head coach is calling, that means you're a priority"

-ivan rabb



"the schools that he has recruiting him are university of california-berkeley, ucla, usc, arizona, kansas, kentucky, georgetown and north carolina"

-lou richie, bod hc

early indications are that cuonzo & the new staff have made favorable 1st impressions

the former bears staff were fractured in their approach to the recruitment of the #1 player in the 2015 class...coaches told me there was "no chance" to "we should try harder"...my biggest divergence in opinion with the that staff (that led cal bb to the most successful era during the last half a century) centered around ivan's recruitment...only td attended bod's state championship game at sleepy train arena in sacramento after the bears season had already ended



mac dre agrees that not making every effort known to mankind to relentlessly recruit ivan rabb would be stoopid, gotta "growl like a bear"


the grind includes the hc#

welcome 7'1" 260 lbs kingsley okoroh, coach martin's 1st commitment to the california golden bears



spoke with okoroh's hc jai steadman at westwind prep (i'm an acquaintance of former suns tom chambers whose twins sons also attend westwind) in phx who emphasized several times that kingsley is an outstanding young man

okoroh has a 3.0+ gpa & his dad michael is a professor of facilities mgmt at the university of derby's school of engineering & technology...his dad has a family policy of mandatory good grades in order to play sports & is harder on his sons re: academics than athletics...kingsley bro is a bodybuilder back in england

westwind's academic tutor hannah has told steadman that kingsely is very polite & actively engaged in his schoolwork...apparently hannah doesn't say this about all of jai's players

okoroh season stats: 18 ppg, 12 rpg, 6 bpg & 4 apg



steadman thinks that okoroh like most young bigs has significant development potential on offense & has a nice soft touch...he shot 79% on fts & did not attempt any 3 pters, apparently kingsley does not think of himself as a stretch 4

defensively steadman compared him to dikembe mutombo in terms of his ability to be a monster shot blocker & rebounder but still needs more strength to reach his potential

jai also told me he has known cuonzo for yrs & that he knows kingsley is in "very good hands" with coach martin

most rating services have not seen okoroh play but tom chambers thinks okoroh with hard work could have nba potential

kingsley, welcome to the #1 ranked public university in the world (including waterford, england)



kingsley's loi has been signed & received by the bears staff

okoroh should be academically good to go between his education in england (low achievement students are funneled into trade schools), findlay prep classes, westwind prep coursework & additional credits at grand canyon university (15 minutes from westwind prep)

okoroh is ranked as the 5th best prospect in europe by espn's bb recruitiing services

**********************************************************

"i like kinglsey's ability to block shots and protect the rim...he continues to make great strides with his offense...kingsley has great size at 7'1" 260 pounds and has the chance to get bigger and stronger in our strength and conditioning program...i think he has a bright future in front of him and has a chance to be really good"

-cuonzo martin

**********************************************************

before nooner yoga today i spoke with classmate padraig o'brien, a trainer/basketall developer for hs, college & nba (including 5 lottery picks) ballers...padraig has known westwind prep hc jai steadman for yrs & worked with this season's squad

po told me that kingsley is a very well mannered & polite young man who looks like a nba player when he walks in the door...his "strength is his ability to run & get up & down the floor"...okoroh has "good feet" & "soft hands"...he has not developed any reliable post interior moves at this time (which is typical for a young big)

i'm not gonna repeat padraig's funny comment but basically kingsley biggest challenge is that he hasn't quite developed his inner bad azz yet

when i mentioned the impressive okoroh video clip of blocking shots like mutombo, he laughed & said "dude, when you play 70 games like westwind did this season, you can put together an impressive film package on anyone"

o'brien (who last saw okoroh a month ago) also questioned the 260 lbs weight listed above, thinks he's closer to 230, maybe 240 lbs tops

bottom line, padraig thinks kingsley has a significant upside but that the cal coaches are gonna have light a fuse or two up our english gentleman's azz to spark his motor

Dear Shocky,

How are you?

I am fine.

To answer your stoopid question why I played Dominic and Damyean even after the Eugene Police told me about their misunderstanding, I got a $50,000 BONUS for making the NCAA Tournament.

Dude, I would play OJ Simpson in a heartbeat if Uncle Phil mints me 50K, ok?

Gonna put in a new bentgrass putting green in the backyard or maybe a new swimming pool at the 2nd home at Pronghorn, I dunno, I really haven't decided yet. What do you think?

Let's put aside our differences (do you really think I give a **** if my players end up on food stamps someday?) and play a quick 18 at Eugene CC next time you're in town. I'll buy lunch aftwards, the shrimp ceasar at the club should not be missed.

LOL..... met the Club Pro @ Eugene CC who teaches golf @ UofO during our visit there in February.... too funny. Very nice guy who has an interesting background as a teacher (College Professor) and teaching Golf pro in the South and Florida.

I think Uncle Phil gets a lot of shyt for being a huge donor to Duckville... but everyone on this board wishes we had him as a lead donor... The stink there is not Phil IMO.. but what do I know... I follow Cal sports and all that's done is been frustrating recently.

Go Bears!!

PS.. I love Cuonzo.. (not like that Shocky!!)... :gobears:

during labor day weekend of 2010 tony woods beat the crap out of his girlfriend in front of their 8 month old child...woods was arrested and charged with three counts of assault for kicking and pushing courney lorel barbout who suffered a fracture of her spine in the attack

against the 6'11" 250 lbs woods, courney had no chance to protect herself

wake forest did the right thing and suspended woods

so oregon's sleazeball mbb hc dana altman recruited woods to shore up the ducks interior defense



steve alford & dana altman are enablers of players that commit crimes of violence against women if it means they might win a few more games



dana altman is once again relying upon 6 transfers for the ducks 2013 season...2 of these transfers are srs: mike moser & jason calliste

the 2 sr transfers are not student athletes in any sense of the word...moser & calliste will arrive in the fall & then depart that spring with zero academic progress and/or achievement...they are like transients

beyond devaluing the already shaky oregon degree (which is considered a jc caliber education with its 90+% acceptance rate), those players that have worked within the bb program for several yrs are recruited over & benched in favor of guys who don't even know where the library is in eugene

so who else did altman recruit for the 2013 ducks?

*elgin cook, declared ineligible during hs in milwaukee for having a gpa under 2.0
http://themilwaukeedrum.com/2011/02/13/the-tragedy-of-elgin-cook-other-mps-black-student-athletes/

*jordan bell from lbp was declared ineligible before the school yr & will not join the roster until next season

*christiano felicio from brazil was declared ineligible by the ncaa after attending a roseville "prep school" handpicked by altman that is facing allegations of academic fraud & child abuse
http://fox40.com/2013/01/10/roseville-prep-academy-coach-arrested-for-physical-abuse/

bottom line
*****a cal degree helps you move forward in life & marry the girl of your dreams
*an oregon degree helps you get hired as the night shift supervisor at the truck stop in medford & probably marrying a lot lizard

just do it#



update from eugene:

*mike moser, jason caliste, johnathan lloyd, richard amardi & waverly austin used up their eligiblity...not clear if any of them will ever earn an oregon diploma

*ben carter, suspended along with dominic artis for selling team issued shoes/gear, transfered to unlv

*a.j. lapray transferred to pepperdine

*brandon austin, 2.6 gpa in philly, was suspended from the providence basketball team after being charged with a sexual assault of a female student...he immediately was recruited & transferred to oregon...he is currently not participating in team activities...recently named in the rape of an oregon female student...dismissed

*jacquan lyle, 2.5 gpa & was suspended for fighting in hs, is a 2014 oregon commit but is not likely to be declared academically eligible by the ncaa

*damyean dotson, suspended during the season for trying to use a fake id at a bar, considering transferring & currently not participating in team activities...recently named in the rape of an oregon female student...dismissed

*dominic artis will be transferring from oregon...dominic attended cal's last pac 12 home game at haas vs usc...i was speaking with his former hs ad at salesian chad nightingale (played wr for the bears) when da came over & said hello, it was clear to me that he wanted to speak privately with chad...recently named in the rape of an oregon female student...dismissed

this is oregon basketball#

*joseph young posted on twitter (and then took it down) that he's going to try to finish his degree & leave ujean as a gradaute transfer

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

miami vice/keeping up with the kardashians update: spoke with ransom everglades bb hc claude grubair re: sam singer's final game in the florida state finals...sam does not want this out there (claude & i feel otherwise) but ss had a severely sprained right wrist from the university game...on the 2nd play of his final game, his middle finger of his shooting (right) hand was also dislocated...ss didn't complain and did the best he could as a true gamer but ended up missing all 6 fts (for the year he shot fts at 78%)

ss is currently sporting a cast which will be removed in the near future

sam is already focused on his training prior to his arrival in berkeley this summer & looking forward to working with his new teammates...as unselfish a player as ss, he will seasmlessly fit into the bears program

should be mentioned that after sam commited to cal, tommy amaker was the 1st coach to call and congragulate ss (not all of the other coaches were as classy in speaking with coach grubair)

singer ended up his ransom everglades career with 2135 pts

as for trey manning, amIII, he has told his coach that if there is any school that would be a favorite other than georgetown, it would be cal because of his friendship with sam...the ball is in monty's court now

amIII is still growing and might be 7' for his season year and can run the floor...cal's fast pace down court after rebounds style of play might be a real plus vs the hoyas more deliberate game

amIII is an elite student too with an eye on international business & a 3.6 gpa...the haas biz school's #3 ranking in the us is a plus for the bears

go raiders (and joes stone crabs)#

shelton mitchell is an elite 4 star lefty pg (top 75 player in the 2014 class) that stands 6'3"+ barefoot & 180 lbs that defends & is a playmaker in the j kidd style



shelton, his sister, mom april & dad malik lived in vancouver, washington & portland, oregon before moving to charlotte, north carolina when shelton was 13

as an 8th grader, mitchell played varsity ball at covenant day

cuthbertson hs hc mike helms said "shelton is the hardest working kid i've ever coached" referring to mitchell's daily grind of waking up at 5:45 am & practicing his shooting until school started in the morning



despite actionable offers from arizona, illinois, connecticut, tennessee (cuonzo & staff) & other national powers, mitchell ended his recruitment during his jr season with a commitment to wake forest



shelton attended the famed oak hill academy for his sr season & suffered a torn acl which sidelined him for 2 months

mitchell made a decommitment from wake forest when hc jeff bzdelik was fired with the stipulation that he could not sign with an acc school which eliminates north carolina & duke for the strong student athlete

shelton graduates from oak hill on may 17th & will then visit missouri (the next day), cal on may 19-20th & then vanderbilt (another yanni recruit, they're everywhere)

shelton's intent is to attend the 1st session of the selected college's summer school
