dominic artis is signing with tim floyd's utep miners program

the bears staff talked to artis during with his non playing redshirt year at diablo valley junior college but at the end of the day coach martin has to go home and look his daughter & wife in the eyes



I for one am happy that the interest in Artis did not result in him becoming a Golden Bear.....I would of had a real hard time rooting for him as a Bear....

taylor & i power walked from the nines thru chinatown & past a crowd of 100+ non yoga practicing chunkys waiting outside of voodoo doughnuts & then across the steel bridge over the willamette river to the moda center & back again after the 2015 nike hoop summit...them doughnuts sure looked tasty but if kameron rooks can core out, we can too


it should be noted that the game was played with international rules, 2 of the refs spoke to each other in a an eastern bloc language, with very few fouls & pushing on every sequence...also the game was impacted by selfish guard play that dominated the ball

taylor & i sat on the floor behind the basket & yelled at ivan during warm ups "hey ivan, let's do this" (me) & "go to the bears, ivan" (taylor) and he glanced over with a surprised look ("what are they doing here?") and smiled with a quick nod

we also yelled at jaylen brown, he responded with what could be best described as a laughing smirk

players notes:

ivan rabb: not many touches, competed underneath the basket for rebounds & blocked thon maker a couple of times...started the game with a leg brace & then left the game for good after a vicious poke in the eyes

jaylen brown: what an athlete, the best defender in the game with numerous disruptions of passes...offensively drained shots from all over the court ala patrick christopher during warm ups...nba body with a physical & graceful style of play...like ivan, very unselfish in sharing the ball

alonzo trier: followed up his 6-20 shooting at the mcdonalds game with 4-14 shooting at the nike summit...the arizona commit lacks court vision & jacks up the ball without even looking for his teammates, he's gonna shoot the wildcats out of games next season in tucson...life with sean miller is gonna be a rude awakening for trier

luke kennard: the best player on the usa team, the duke commit is an absolute pure shooter with a mature shot selection (9-18 fgs) & much quicker defensively than anticipated

caleb swanigan: plays very physically but still needs major s&c conditioning...his low release point shooting form along with limited hops resulted in several of his shots being blocked by the uber high flying bigs on the world team before he was eventually benched

jamal murray: impressive guard with a relentless basket attacking mode scored a game high 30 points...the canadian guard from ontario is looking to potentially reclassify from 2016 to 2015 and a nike sr employee told me his dad is leaning towards criminal dana altman's oregon ducks

ben simmons: most well rounded player in the game with 13 points, 8 rebound & 8 assists

skal labissiere: the guy nba scouts like the most from the 2015 class, skal scored 21 points along with 8 boards...the kentucky donor we sat by told me that coach cal told him that marcus lee is gonna return to lexington again next season, gotta have them practice players & that skal may not be cleared by the ncaa

brenden glapion: much to taylor's chagrin, the pride of washington high school dnp...sorry sweetie


congrats to jaylen brown on officially becoming a california golden bear

jaylen's academic work at the #1 public university in the world will serve him well in achieving his long term goal of becoming a nba general manager/team owner

jaylen brown=not a dumb azz

so shay just let me borrow her iphone on the way to whole (paycheck) foods to check on them wildcat fans

if you've been a passive candy azz soft tv cal fan in recent times (with the exception of cal geek's courageous wife), now is your opportunity to be a part of something bigger than yourself...walk in the front doors of haas, smell the hot dogs sizzling on the grill, hear the basketball bounce on the floor of newell court, feel the electrical crowd energy in your heart/soul & roar like a deranged feral california golden bear with your fellow starved bears all around you

marvin bagley iii, a 6'10" phenom from corona del sol high school (tempe) is from gilbert (an upper middle class suburb of phx) is ranked as the #1 player in the 2018 class

my yoga classmate buddy padraig o'brien (a highly respected basketball trainer that has worked with 5 lottery picks & kingsley okoroh) told me that marvin is an excellent student in the classroom with a strong academic focus & that his parents (dad is the head coach of the phoenix phamily 2018 youth basketball team) are very strict (and highly religious) & won't let their son's recruitment turn into a circus

so i asked padraig this week how good is marvin, a freshman this year in high school, compared to the pac 12's best players

padraig smiled & told me that bagley would've won the pac 12 mvp award this year...by a large margin


rust never sleeps#


marvin was offered by coach cal last nite

I don't know anything about who Cal is recruiting but I saw a kid this year that I think is as good as any freshman I have seen since Ivan Rabb......Jordan Brown 6'9" 200lbs Woodcreek High, Roseville, Ca......an extremely good athlete for a tall 14 yr old, great hands, good back to basket moves, good motor, plays hard defense.....not much not to like about a freshman like Jordan....he played with Noah Blackwell this year and he was the leading scorer and rebounder.....should take a look at least....

trust me, the staff knows about 2018 phenom jordan brown...both theo robertson & travis decuire were telling me about a blue chip middle schooler from near sacramento a year ago

i dunno, guess it depends who you ask

t-wall is trying to find someone to play paddle ball with him


coach martin & the shockster are trying to fill the stands at haas creating energized sold out home crowds roaring for the bears...fcs, do you got your season tix(s)?...are you a true california golden bear or a fake model (tv fan)?


the cal staff is targeting a couple of true student athletes (josh jackson is not one of them guys) that wanna compete together in a family atmosphere for national championships with ringleader oscar frayer pointing the way for cal's howlin' at the moon class (2016)

Glad to see him "choosing to stay and fight" (if I may borrow an old quote from Patty Hearst). When he first signed up to be a Golden Bear, conventional wisdom was that he was going to bulk up and be an undersized-but-effective 4, like his brother was at UCLA. Let's say he continues to improve, where do the coaches currently see him contributing? Shutting down an opposing wing?


while not wanting to limit any player's potential upside, coach martin is very candid in transparently communicating each player's role within the basketball program...he mentioned several times at the banquet he does not want to stockpile players (kentucky's platoon system) & that he wants each player to have an important & well defined role in order to build cohesive team chemistry & avoid the epidemic of transfers which are currently decimating the college landscape (washington will basically field a brand new roster next season)

coach martin would like roger to become a lethal defensive stopper...with rmb's length & strong motor he has the skills set & warrior mentality to develop into a lockdown defender against high scoring wings...roger's just gotta also hit the open jumper/finish around the rim in order to earn minutes

No kidding. I don't think it rained on Feb 8, let alone in all of Feb, or Jan, or March or April either...
