north carolina state's duo brothers caleb (#14, 6'7" 215 lbs) & cody (6'7" 210 lbs) from mocksville, north carolina will be officially visiting cal this weekend...both were top 50 players in the 2014 class & nationally recruited by elite basketball programs
last season for the wolfpack caleb averaged 11.5 ppg on 38.9% fgs & 36.1% 3 pointers along with 4.7 rpg while cody averaged 6.0 ppg on 46.7% fgs & 42.9% 3 pointers along with 4.4 rpg
both would blueshirt if they end up in berkeley (although there's a small chance they could graduate early from nc state & therefore be immediately eligible) & be eligible to play in 2017...they are the 4th & 5th players to transfer from nc state this offseason after a disappointing 16-17 season & it's unlikely that mark gottfried would release them to other acc schools
it is not known if j cole is also contemplating a transfer to cali too
the university of california, berkeley=#1 ranked public (#3 overall) university in the world (including north carolina)

name that california golden bear:
what bear has been involved in the most fights/skirmishes during practices this season?
what non rotation bear has been noted by nba scouts during pregame warmups (45 minutes before tip off) for his freak athleticism?
what bear brought a robust 3.5 gpa to cal's diamonds are forever class (2015) which was an integral part of important confidential acceptance negotiations with cal admissions that impacted another key player?
what bear said before the team traveled down under that he was excited but that he didn't know how to speak any australian?
what bear led the pac 12 in the most missed uncontested 5 footers during pregame warmups (yeah, i keep track of that ****)?
what bear did coach christopher tell me unconditionally does absolutely everything he instructs him to so without hesitation & has made major strides in his s&c with the addition of significant good weight/muscle?
yeah, roman davis is gonna bring a much needed bad azz element to next season's team chemistry

If the website administrators won't ask Shocky to tone down the messaging as we've requested, maybe they could install an instant sandwich delivery button, cause I'd like to buy you lunch.
Well said.
Thank you.
My step-mother worked at high levels in corporate America in the 60's and 70's at a time when they were seen more as coffee getters than leaders. I recall her coming home tired and complaining about the double standard and the glass ceiling. Make chauvinist pig was a repeated expression. I heard that, took it to heart and was raised to understand that women were capable of having the same successful careers as men, that they should be given equal opportunity as men.
When I was at SDSU, I was both turned on and off by the body culture that existed. Young women who had rockin' bods would routinely sun themselves by the pool in bikinis. And walking around campus was a yummy visual treat. But I made friends with some gals and so me and another guy got an apt with 3 girls. I learned from these "sisters" how concerned chicks are with having the right body. It was sad. Us Neanderthal guys are admiring their T&A, while they are stressing about having their T&A just right. It goes way beyond "does this make me look fat?" We horny body worshipping men therefore are creating a culture where women stop thinking about their successes in the world and instead about how they are visually accepted. It's a low level of existence.
Now that I have my own team of daughters, I constantly tell them to not buy into the beauty body conscious world we live in. It's a false idol. Ignore attention people give you for your looks, don't advertise your wares, and make them respect your brain, not your booty. Pick a mate that "gets" that.
These are some of the stories and values behind why I fight Shocky with his pushing of the body culture. Shocky, rather than just being an azzhole, posting more women and that chimp who mocks me with your message of I Don't Care, why not just listen and have a heart. This is a public forum and you're insulting to me and others. It's not too late to change. We like your basketball posts. Keep them coming.
Go Bears.

+1 to all of that. I've worked with a lot of incredibly intelligent women trying to advance professionally who had to seriously consider whether to have their pictures included in their bios on the firm website or other professional social media sites because there are assholes out there who stalk the good looking ones. No joke. And having raised a daughter who finally sees the light after worrying all the time that her value was her looks, it's depressing to see supposed Cal grads doing this **** while berating males for not having adequate gpa's and calling other people dumbazzes. My guess is overcompensation. It sure as hell isn't art.

I have gone through the phases of grief on this thread and the cheesecake. Free cpuntry and people can scroll past. My major complaint is that it isnt safe for work and some of the pictures can get one Huff'ed for creating a hostile workplace environment.

while carrying on multiple conversations i heard a ""hey" & threw back a quick "what's up?" without really looking to see who it was...taylor told me "dad, be polite, that's jaylen"
so i walked over to jb & we gave each other a hug...he is like all the guys a special person, so thoughtful, & thanked me for my support this season
jaylen told me he's currently working out in los angeles but made the trip specifically back to berkeley for the banquet, he seemed surprised when i told him i really didn't expect to see him there
unlike 99% of the early nba draft entrants that are signed with agents, jaylen is still enrolled in his classes which he will complete this spring...the plan is to resume his studies for his cal degree in 3-5 years
taylor told him how i'm always listening to keep me company (the link above) & he told me that the tribe akashic are his cousins in atlanta & that he helped produce this song...i told him that this song will always remind me of him & his gifts both on & off the court
[IMG][/IMG]
so i ask jaylen last nite at the basketball banquet what's up with fellow georgian demetris robertson's recruitment, the two have been talking for some time re: cal & robertson's overall recruitment
he tells me that he doesn't know, that demetris has blown up his phone with a bunch of messages but that he hasn't had time to call him back because of his hectic nba draft schedule right now
i asked jaylen to PLEASE call him back, he said he would try to call him back

Sure but to what end? David Brooks has an important piece this weekend in the NYT (I really think perhaps one of the most important things he has written in the past decade - at least since the Bobbos book) about community. At some point we have to stop shouting at people and try to engage in dialogue AND engage on others turf.
That is, of course, a two way street and so letting shocky be shocky is a step in that direction (but so too Shockey engaging with the research that DOES show that the objectification of women, across the general population, is a pretty destructive thing). Now I also believe that some of this is generally hard wired into our little repitlian brains (as men seek out the biological imperative to spread their genetic material broadly across the population which they are culturally attuned to believing is the best birthers and providers of said generic matierial) but that biologic basis isn't an excuse that leads too many women to pretty awful psychological scaring and a more hurtful socieity.

do you know somebody that every time you see them they got such a big azz smile that you immediately feel their infectious love & happiness too?...yeah, i feel that way about them curvy brunette yoga females but that's not the point
nick "the smartest bear of them all" hamilton is one of those people, he always smilin' every day, the skies are never gray, he's happy every day
hamilton blueshirted this season & nick told me at the banquet he will play/graduate (in a remarkable 3 years with a 3.7 gpa) next season & then play the 2017 & 2018 seasons as a graduate student in berkeley's school of education...his gates foundation scholly will financially cover all 5 years at the #1 ranked public university in the world...then he will go to law school & become a successful sport's agent & most likely start his own firm
the coaching staff likes his mental & physical toughness, he can defend at a high level with his crazy azz energy...hamilton's ability to knock down open shots is his biggest area of needed development in order to earn playing time
but trust me, taylor isn't signaling nick's gpa:headbang
