a bears coach told me prior to the australia trip that the staff is not currently targeting any recruits from down under...there are d1 programs with assistant coaches that are natives of australia that relentlessly work the region year round that already have strong established relationships within the oz basketball community...it's a matter of limited resources & allocating those efforts in regions that project the most favorable returns
after lighting up the bears for 55 points in 2 games, i'll report here if that thinking has changed re: vasiljevic

walked 36 holes today at coore & crenshaw's newly opened cabot cliffs...this unreal seaside beauty will likely debut as a world top 25 course in future rankings...yeah, it's in nova scotia
experiencing the final 4 holes along the cliffs with the coastal winds & the sun in your eyes goes by as quickly as a 24 second shot clock

Is that near the Tibetan Buddhist monastery at the Northern End of the Island (closest town, a little town called Cheticamp - with its own extraordinary story of the French Holocaust and diaspora when they were all banished and deported by the English from what they called Acadia, and where a goodly percentage of them wound up in Louisiana, calling themselves "Acadians", which eventually became "Cajuns" -- Strikingly, a goodly percentage of the descendants (biological and spiritual) of the deportees returned in the late 19th Century, and, among other things, established a Catholic church as big as those that take up a Chicago city block, built out of huge stones quarried on the mainland, and skidded across the frozen waterway between the mainland and the island in the dead of winter)? I spent a week visiting the monastery as summer was turning into Autumn. SpectaCUlar.

jaylen hands, a dynamic 6'2" 155 lbs point guard from chula vista & a top 20 player in the 2017 class, has been offered by the bears staff
"cal has done a great job of recruiting this year and that's something i'm looking at"
-jaylen hands
jaylen had been considered a ucla lean with arizona running a tight 2nd position but let's be real here, there's a new national powerhouse program in the united states with much stronger academics than both ucla & arizona that's located in the cosmopolitan and diverse san francisco/oakland bay area
jaylen hands would be a potential dynamic impact leader for cal's touch the sky class (2017) to assure the current upward recruiting trajectory of the california golden bears basketball program:
cal's monster class (2013)
cal's doses & mimosas class (2014)
cal's diamonds are forever class (2015)
cal's howlin' at the moon class (2016)
cal's touch the sky class (2017)
cal's started at the bottom class (2018)*
*the vision is jordan brown, elijah hardy, miles norris & ideally marvin bagley
jaylen has got a busy summer schedule trying out for the team usa squad starting on may 28th & also playing for the compton magic aau team but still intends to unofficially visit berkeley with his dad ronnie who knows coach wyking jones from playground games growing up in inglewood back in the day
the bears staff will be most successful when all 5 coaches (coach martin, huf, tracy, wyking & nicodemus) build relationships with prospective recruits & their families...these 5 guys comprise arguably the most likable & hardest working collegiate basketball staff in the nation, a staff that will compete with anybody including coach cal for any recruit with academic ambition in the united states
some valuable recruiting lessons were learned (from my perspective) this year in chasing guys with overly involved dads/selfish position demands like tyler dorsey & bennie boatwright and guys who lack the necessary academic ambition to flourish at cal like brandon sampson (no ncca qualifying score) but obviously the diamonds are forever class (2015) has transformed the #1 public university in the world to an epic turning point on the basketball court that even pudgy noted donuts expert sean miller has conceded that cal could win the national championship this upcoming season
this **** is getting live
do you got your season tix(s) at haas?...why not?...man, you don't wanna be like that lupe fiasco
this is cal basketball#
"california, arizona, ucla, stanford and sdsu are the main schools i'm hearing from"
-jaylen hands
jaylen will be unofficially visiting arizona august 7th (visiting a dump like tucson with summer desert temps will be a lot of fun) & hopefully cal too...generally speaking i never get too excited re: any west coast prospect until they make an unofficial visit with their family to berkeley, it's a key indicator of a targeted recruit's serious interest in the bears
the university of california, berkeley=#1 ranked public (#3 overall) university in the world
