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
tyson has scheduled a safety dance official visit also to minnesota for may 1-3 with smu & utep also scrambling for a visit
this is probably gonna be a cal vs gonzaga recruiting battle...jolly has got a big city swagger about him, will be interesting to see how he perceives spokane in the middle of nowhere vs the cosmopolitan san francisco bay area along with the huge difference in academic prestige between the 2 schools
*****if tyson is looking for a diverse community with people from different backgrounds at the #1 ranked public university in the world, cal is the right choice
***if tyson is looking for a non diverse more sheltered cold azz college town with easy academics, gonzaga might be the right choice
tyson, are you gonna be limitless mentally?...are you gonna paint a beautiful picture?

Shocky, just curious when you heard that young ivee might be making a guest appearance.
Isn't he in Portland for the Nike Hoops Summit?

did you know that despite earning millions in the nba that bobby hurley squandered his life's savings & lost his family's horse estate because of financial mismanagement/non performing investments related to the ponies
i dunno maybe bobby can mentor his sun devils re: the fastest mudder in the 3rd race at belmont, the best books in jersey, the tightest slots in vegas & **** like that...when he tells his guys we're off to the races, he means it

there's around 2 minutes left in the washington state game at the mgm grand & the president of the brenden glapion fan club is nudging me & asking me why her favorite player isn't in the game
so i start screaming from our seats (thx ash & jj) directly behind the cal bench "coach, let's get the walk ons into the game, they work their azzs off all season, let's go"
and then coach martin yells "brenden" & our fearless hero jumps to his feet & runs to the scorer's table
taylor can't believe it, this **** is getting live
and then the cougars defender fouls glapion, all of his teammates rise to their feet & start clapping, he's gonna get 2 free throws
so brenden toes the line, bounces the ball & releases his smooth left handed stroke into the las vegas airspace...the ball rotates perfectly for seemingly forever & then drops thru the bottom of the net...the bears crew are totally fired up & pumping their fists...brandon chauca, a great teammate, comes up from behind the 3 point line & messes with brenden's crewcut
taylor & i are going ballistic...i'm screaming at the top of my lungs, "great shot, brenden, way to go baby...washington high school shooter, let's do this baby, let it fly, let's do this"
brenden bounces the ball, inhales a deep breath & focuses in on his 2nd free throw...he deftly strokes the 2nd free throw & it also drops perfectly thru the basket...brenden glapion has got 2 points in the pac 12 tnt, he's in the history books & now the staff is also smiling broadly and telling the guys to get back on d
i'm still roaring like a golden bear saying lots of stupid **** & high fiving dr danger & his son along with everyone else in our vicinity...taylor & i hug and i almost see a mist of bay area fog in her beautiful green eyes, my daughter is alive & happy sharing a very special moment with her dad
[ATTACH=CONFIG]4412[/ATTACH]
(click for larger image of taylor cheesin it at our golf club in flagstaff)
the stars & the universe are all perfectly aligned at this point in time
as the cal players leave the court, i'm stilling relentlessly clapping & yelling at the tv sideline reporter "interview glapion, interview glapion, talk to the big guy, come on let's roll"...the players are looking at me smiling & i dunno maybe shaking their heads a little bit too because i'm such a dumb azz, we've all experienced & shared something bigger than the game of basketball
did i mention that taylor's dream school is the university of san francisco (she's gotta raise her gpa if that's gonna happen otherwise she's gonna be at her mom's school, asu) & that brenden grew up in san francisco?

taylor & i flew tonite to portland, oregon...our discussion on the plane:
taylor: dad, will brenden play in the game tomorrow?
me: no sweetie, the game is only for high school players
taylor: that's too bad, it would be fun if he played...will we still root for caleb in the game?
me: of course we will, he's a good kid...but maybe we'll cheer louder for ivan and jaylen
taylor: do you think they will go to cal?
me: life's an adventure taylor, let's enjoy every minute of it
taylor: love you dad
me: nice try, we're not going shopping before the game
taylor: ok, i guess i can wear this outfit again

then again, maybe it was that simple all along.
I felt bad suggesting that conclusion of mine, but there you have it. Perhaps ringing in his head was "once a Spartan always a Spartan... I look better in green."
Kat's not very intuitive?

Two star defensive tackle, with high upside. Needs weight room work, carries some excess weight which limits explosiveness.
