herard has cut his finalists to 5 (arizona not included)...schnider along with his guardian derrick shelby will be officially visiting mississippi state (september 12), texas tech (september 26th) & kansas (october 10th) with cal & purdue in the planning stages

50 year decision#

played oakmont this morning with slim wadie on an idyllic late summer day...yeah, they got the fastest stimp metered greens in the world in preparation for next year's us open...but we both avoided the church pew bunker guarding the 3rd & 4th holes, that's hell on earth

2016 point guard payton pritchard will stay in state & has made a commitment to criminal dana altman

payton can look forward to a bright future after basketball as a night shift manager at the medford truck stop & eventually marrying a lot lizard with stds

the bears are all in with 2016 point guard recruiting with the dynamic facilitator/distributor/scorer charlie moore

our palace for california golden bears basketball will reopen next month after an extensive $10,000,000+ loving makeover, many thx to the haas/goldman family for their timeless support of the cal basketball program

among the significant improvements will be a newly created 2nd row of floor seats, there will be 55-60 seats in this section...these seats will face the teams' benches (none will be behind the baskets) & will offer close to the action excitement...the floor of haas will not be modified for these seats but rather the seats will be elevated (extra tall) as is the case at numerous nba venues including the golden state warriors games

some student seating will be eliminated to create spacing for the 2nd row but nothing major

student season tixs will once again be $55 for the year...last year there were around 500+ sold student season tixs, if demand explodes this season additional student seating will be created behind the south basket...there will be room for every cal student that wishes to support their fellow student athletes by purchasing a season tix

last season cal averaged 8,099 fans per game...this includes approximately 4,500-5,000 season tixs (of varying packages)

this season cal basketball season deposits for new season tixs are already 1,100+, a remarkable spurt of growth for true bears fans wanting to celebrate the magic of cal basketball in person at their palace

the basketball team needs our support both in terms of insane gameday energy & ticket revenues (being a passive cal tv fan does not help the program) in order to sustain the current upward trajectory of basketball recruiting with this year's epic cal's diamonds are forever class (2015)...the reality is that future nba 1st rounders wanna play in large crowds

can we work together to get 10,000-11,000 amped up fans per game this season at haas pavilion?...what is your personal commitment to the future of cal basketball?

your palace awaits in what could be potentially the greatest season of our lifetimes (once again, with apologies to the old timers that cherish the pete newell championship teams) for a cal basketball or football team

the time is now#

are you gonna call 1-800 go bears & participate in the select a seat tour of haas pavilion tomorrow sunday august 30th & monday august 31st?

what is your personal commitment to the future of cal basketball?

the 2015/2016 golden bears basketball team has the potential to be the greatest football/basketball (with all due respect to the old timers that experienced pete newell's national championship season) cal team of our lifetimes

cal's diamonds are forever class (2015) is gonna create off the charts excitement at haas pavilion starting friday nite november 13th, an evening for the ages



are you gonna get season tix(s) at our palace haas pavilion for this potentially epic season?

2014/2015 pac 12 average game attendance was as follows:
1) arizona-14,591
2) utah-12,101
3) colorado-9,135
4) california-8,099 (54th in nation)
5) ucla-7,711
6) washington-6,398
7) oregon-6,209
8) arizona state-5,985
9) oregon state-5,612
10) stanford-4,439
11) southern california-3,552
12) washington state-3,190
http://i.turner.ncaa.com/sites/default/files/images/2015/07/06/mens-attendence.pdf

what needs to happen at haas pavilion this season in order for the team to maximize their tremendous potential?

the cal basketball team needs your passionate energy & full support in buying season tix(s) to push this season's average gameday attendance at haas pavilion over 10,000 in order to create the necessary hostile home court advantage for them california golden bears...being a passive tv fan does absolutely nothing for the team

right now the bears already got very strong renewal numbers & 1,100+ deposits for additional new season tix(s) seats

you can call 1-800 gobears this week to make a deposit on season tix(s) which will give you seating preference for seat selections when the current $10,000,000+ renovations (thanks to the haas/goldman family) at haas pavilion are hopefully completed this august...there are a variety of season tix packages to fit every budget & busy schedule

experience the magic of cal basketball with your family & friends in person, feel the enthusiasm & become part of the roar at haas

this is cal basketball, are you gonna be part of it?

during the select a seat sessions tomorrow & monday why don't you storm the floor like the dumb azz in the purple vilebrequin shirt?...pretty sure that's gonna be ok with gordon

stormin' the floor, that **** is fun

walked this morning in the hamptons at my favorite course in the world, the national...ngla is a celebration of the game, a collection of truly unique holes often with quirky features that seamlessly flow together under the design of charles blair mcdonald

earning a cal degree will allow you to successfully pursue your dreams (whatever they might be) in life, let's do this

cal has offered brandon mccoy, a 7' 235 lbs true 5 & top 25 player in the 2017 class from morse high school who has an opportunity to become one of the best players to ever come out of san diego


mccoy is already a relentless physical defender, rebounder & shot blocker with developing offensive skills with tremendous fluidity & athleticism to his movement
[video=youtube;YPp2FJHIkKQ][/video]

brandon got a 3.3 gpa & is interested in potential careers in either pharmacy or marine biology when his basketball playing days are done with him...dude is not a dumb azz, he realizes that his basketball playing days could be done forever in a split second injury & that he will need to be limitless mentally in order to achieve all his dreams in life & take care of moms

mccoy is a renaissance man, he taught himself to play the piano at age 13 after taking guitar lessons...he also won a middle school fair award after extracting dna from a banana

brandon grew up on the tough streets of chicago & it was a courageous decision for his moms mildred davis (a single parent), an army master sergeant who is now in the reserves to send her son to live with his guardian shaun manning who also serves as a mentor, coach & male role model

"my mom makes sure that i put school before anything...she doesn't care about basketball...all she cares about is academics...it's for me to accomplish my goals and to go to college and earn a degree and if the nba is in that conversation, then getting to the nba"
-brandon mccoy

yeah, the staff expects to sign multiple players in 2017 & there's no doubt that mccoy would be a standout center for cal's touch the sky class (2017)...brandon is truly a special young man with heart & skills that extend far beyond playing basketball on a basketball court with a basketball

the bears #1 4/5 target on the 2016 big board is jayce johnson, a 6'11 225 lbs top 70 player in the 2016 class...jj played played last season for phil hecht's santa monica vikings along with teammates jonah mathews after transferring from findlay prep...johnson had previously attended j serra & mater dei, yeah his high school career has kinda been a rollercoaster



johnson works hard on defense with a strong motor & can finish with either hand, he's borderline ambidextrous...he is continuing to grow & is expected to be 7'+

jayce is a outstanding student with a 4.0 gpa, dude is not a dumb azz...his dad jay grew up in nor cal & graduated from st marys (jay's sister graduated from cal)...the family visited cal last summer & intends to do so again this summer...he's currently playing aau ball for the earl watson elite


coach martin ate dinner with jayce & his dad in late april in so cal...one of the topics discussed is cal's unique staff with guys like coach wyking jones who can actually get on the floor & pound inside with his players

jayce has noted that the schools recruiting him the hardest are cal, utah & oregon with asu, gonzaga & north carolina state among others also offering...but let's be real here, johnson got a 4.0 gpa, he's not gonna go to some academically mediocre school

"on the defensive end i'm a good rebounder and i block a lot of shots...on the offensive end i actually widened out my game...i'm shooting 15 footers now and i'm more of a back to the basket player where i can get the ball and get into my moves so i can finish around the basket with both hands"

"people have been telling me i've trimmed out and lost a little bit of the baby fat...people are saying i'm progressing and i can feel myself getting better, jumping higher and running quicker"
-jayce johnson

"jayce johnson is one of my favorite big men of 2016...the kid doesn't take crap from anyone"

*will graduate/graduated from cal joining 2012 grads bak bak, brandon smith & robert thurman

cal fans can expect every player listed above to either leave cal with a degree and/or a nba contract..patrick christopher, justin cobbs & richard solomon all have around one remaining semester of schoolwork necessary to earn their cal degrees...as the wise marco harris once told me, men take care of their business

of the 300+ ncaa d1 bb teams, cal is among the most academically elite programs along with stanford and the ivy leagues most noteably harvard

the above is the MOST IMPORTANT stat sheet in cal basketball



this is the difference between basketball factories that use up & then discard their workers (leaving them unemployable on the streets) in today's highly competitive global economy and legitimate collegiate institutions of higher learning with an academic purpose...if you go to an academically mediocre school like kentucky or arizona & get injured you are ******

academic ambition is a beautiful thing, it will open doors in business after your basketball days are over & help you meet the girl of your dreams (and you're not thinking about it now but it will also help you raise intellectually curious children someday)...you can be limitless mentally
