I'm pretty sure his name is Raffi

Welcome, folks, to our evening interview on the BearInsider channel.
Tonight, we've got a very special guest, all the way from Scottsdale, Arizona.
A former teenage San Francisco caddy and more recently the youngest golfer in the world to play all 100 of the top ranked golf courses worldwide (2001-2011 rankings).
He is an unabashed Cal basketball fan.
Folks, welcome Mr. Shocky!

Shock, we've got a lot of fan mail for you, but the first question I'd like to ask is this: How the hell did Bob McCoy play all 100 courses in 100 consecutive days in 1997? I mean, the travel to all those different cities in 100 days would be an accomplishment, let alone playing 4 hours of golf every 24 hours. Are the record-keepers sure that Bob doesn't have an identical brother who showed up at every other course for him, and they did it together?

Now that is my kind of balance.....OMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Coach Martin is building a great class, a great team
tons of athleticism and talent

former california golden bear emerson murray helped lead the redhawks with 3 points but also 5 boards & 5 assists

as for 16-18 buffs losing in the cbi, it's gonna be a long season next year in boulder...tad might consider starting a yoga practice this week

the bears are actively targeting 6'4" 175 lbs 2015 shooting guard tyson jolly from putnam city west hs in oklahoma city...jolly is an active defender with a strong handle & a reliable shooting stroke...dude has a non stop motor


around a year ago last february tyson was rushed to the hospital for what turned out to be blood clots on his lungs & the doc told him he would never play basketball again...yeah, both he & coach martin probably aren't big fans of hospital beds or giving up

tyson is unbreakable both mentally & physically...jolly is arguably the fastest rising senior in the 2015 class with a 20 point & 9 rebounds average and is expected to be rated as a top 100 player in the final class rankings per feedback from eric bossi to a cal staff member

huf is talking to tyson daily & it's expected that he will officially visit cal along with a couple of other colleges on his other quickly expanding schools list after his season is over...tyson is a pretty good student with a 3.1 gpa & is coachable both on & off the court

unlike a lot of elite players that myopically think they are gonna just ball out for 10 minutes in college before heading to the nba, tyson fully understands that basketball can be taken away from you at any point, that your playing days can be over in a blink of an eye injury...boom, you're done playing basketball forever & then you gotta use your education to still reach all your dreams in life

yeah, jolly is the mentally tough kinda guy the cal basketball program is gonna build around & his offer from the staff is an actionable one...tyson's last 12 months have been a real rollercoaster but the gates to his unlimited future are wide open



the university of california, berkeley=#1 public university in the world (including freezing azz oklahoma)

coach martin is gonna visit with tyson jolly re: playing time at the #1 public university in the world in beautiful california in a family atmosphere

yeah, traveling to oklahoma city is kinda glamorous


50 year decision#

---

tyson is gonna officially visit cal april 10-11th (with a probable special guest appearance by young ivee) & gonzaga the following weekend (if he hasn't already made a commitment somewhere) & has made it clear he's gonna leave oklahoma for college

good luck to modesto christian's head coach richard midgley as he leads his crusaders vs the bishop o'dowd dragons tonite at 8:00 pm in the nor cal open championship game at sleep train arena in sacramento

did i mention sir richard met his wife (she got a great smile) at cal?...yeah, cal is a dream school

---

congrated midgley on his team making the nor cal open finals for a 2nd time in a row vs bishop o'dowd & playing them tough this year...richard told me:

"we defended rabb similar to previous times we played them by using a post to post double every catch on the block..this year was a little different because of their personnel which meant we could sag off certain matchups and limit a lot of touches for ivan close to the rim...we tried to deny all his high post touches...funny thing is i thought we did a really good job defending him as a team and he finishes with 18 points and 18 rebounds...we had a couple of other different zone defenses we had worked in preparation but our man defense was working really well so we did not change out of it"

"he is very difficult to guard, impossible, 1 on 1 on the block at the high school level...he is very composed and unselfish, does not force shots, offensive/defensive rebounds really well, makes all his free throws, expanded his range out to 3 and incredible rim protector who doesn't foul"

"lou did not talk to me from tuesday night after the open semi finals all the way through to the game...he did send me some film to look at of mater dei but i have not looked at yet...he has an excellent coaching staff and no-one works harder than lou in game preparation and coaching year round...in my opinion a big reason for ivan's success"

"my wife was a business major at cal and we met as she was working event management for gordon at cal sporting events"

"looks like its going to be an exciting couple of weeks for cal baskeball recruiting"

richard midgley=fierce competitor & outstanding representative of the #1 public university in the world (including england)

leo nikolayevich tolstoy is a late emerging 5 star euro recruit with an actionable offer from the cal staff...leo has got a 4.38 gpa & is considered a strong cal fit in that he is considered the considered the greatest writer ever in russian literature by rivals & scout, should be fully qualified & cleared by the ncca this spring...his significant production is tempered by his preference for making non violent resistance statements & questioning authority during strategy time outs...lacks lateral mobility & is not a strong on ball defender primairly because he is dead...loves berkelely & is considered a strong cal lean by 24/7

---

huf has been on top of tolstoy since he was a standout at tula middle school with progressive hops & the ability to think 3 steps ahead in real time

huf is relentless

seasons change, people change, but huf is never gonna change

So, wait, now we're gonna land
Bilal Abdur-Rahim
Derryck Thornton
Jaylen Brown
Caleb Swanigan
Ivan Rabb
Davon Dillard

That's 6, and we so far have 4 openings (Kravish, Tarwater, Berhens, and one that went unused).

I get the chatter surrounding chauca's "new beginnings" tweet, but this goes beyond.... Hmmm, maybe Thornton ain't comin' after all. Too bad, bc I really wanted that PG. Would be awesome to have another Abdur-Rahim, however!!

the bears are not recruiting bilal abdur rahim

derrcyk thornton is not reclassifying from 2016 to 2015 & is a strong duke lean until he visits berkeley this summer with his dad & considers playing with cal's potential diamonds are forever class (2015)...the staff is also really feeling lightning fast devearl ramsey as a 2016 priority target at point guard

dk is the consummate team player unselfishly playing out of position this season & is an amazing student athlete with an eye on the future...mark my words, kravish is gonna be a multi millionaire, a terrific husband & father, and a true friend to those close to him with his giving spirit...dave & debra kravish gotta be pretty proud of their son


the cal basketball experience extends far beyond playing basketball on the basketball court with a basketball...unlike basketball factories like arizona that leave their ballers undereducated & poorly prepared for the future once they leave tucson, the #1 public university in the world successfully prepares its graduates for life's many challenges & opportunities

david, you are a special person & i'm gonna yell my azz off for you on sunday...and yeah, i'll probably go to one of your concerts in the future too, who knew that you're also the lead singer for st lucia?...if you play this song at your upcoming summer wedding to ashton pohlman, i'll feel like i've accomplished something (kim k dumping that sorry azz kayne for me isn't gonna count) with this dumb azz cal's monster class thread

today indiana's governor mike pence signed behind closed doors (which is ironic in itself) the religious freedom restoration act which will allow discrimination based upon religious views & sexual orientation, it is a slap in the face to those of us that embrace diversity & civil rights

a similar piece of legislation is pending in michigan

big sauce, are you tired of living in the freezing azz cold & the socially azz backwards midwest?...do you really want to waste your college experience at purdue or michigan state?

the university of california, berkeley was at the epicenter of america's social awakening in the sixties, does that appeal to you?...do you want to grow as a person & become truly an enlightened citizen of the world?

"grind when no ones watching so you can shine when the cameras come on"
-oscar frayer, the ringleader of cal's howlin' at the moon class (2016)

captain obvious says you don't have to go to or have graduated from cal to be a bears fan...cal is the #1 ranked PUBLIC university in the world, anybody can be a true california golden bear, all you gotta do is roar at haas pavilion

but just watching the games on tv like a boring azz zombie doesn't make you a fan...no, that just makes you a passive loser who probably also plays video games and watches the horses pass you by...if you got kidz, it also makes you a terrible role model as your kidz will grow up without passion & non engaged intensity like you
