[SIZE=5]Cal starting Center, starting Point Forward, and starting Forward What a front line![/SIZE]
By the way, those three players were among the most talented and most accomplished players in the Conference if not the country; and a number of the other players on that team were also very talented. From someone who didn't follow their season much, my overwhelming question is why was the team so relatively unsuccessful? If it was relative youth, why was Anigwe (maybe the youngest player on the team) one of the best players in the country?
bon anniversaire, roger, aujourd'hui est un bon jour
love watching you relentlessly chase scorers/shooters thru brutal screen packages & knockdown the open 3 pointers
roger, you got a lotta energy, that's for sure:bravo
world traveling california golden bear#
roger told taylor & i at the banquet that he's gonna spend some time this summer at his brother luc richard mbah a moute's crib in los angeles (he plays for the la clippers) but wasn't sure if his big bro would let him drive one of his rides while he visits...roger, nobody walks in la
roger also told us that one of the reasons that he & his teammates love the cal's monster class is that i try to tell the whole story, to share the hopes & dreams of our true student athletes, they are not disposable modern day gladiators to be objectified & dissected by cal basketball fans
he once again invited us to visit his family home in cameroon which is not only a touching gesture & invitation but also a reflection his generous spirit, he is truly a special young man that works his azz off everyday both on the practice court but also in the classrooms of berkeley (a past recipient of the all pac 12 academic team) & a supportive teammate
yeah, taylor & i might have misted up a bit when roger won the pete newell award but then again it might have just been the late evening beautiful bay area fog...but make no mistake about it, he got up to the podium very quickly to accept his award, roger got a lotta energy
the soul & heart of the bears (lies inside of rmb)#
Can anybody compete with the shockster for this title?
south bender, it kinda seems like that i got enemies, got a lotta enemies, got a lotta people tryna drain me of this energy...but my attitude is kinda like and we started at the bottom now we're here

what do you think?
I think you confuse as enemies those on this site who are put off by your narcissism and your childish attacks on them for expressing their distaste. Not to speak of various posters who would like more basketball focus and less cheesecake.
You are a meditator. Why not ask yourself if any criticism you receive has any merit?

Shalom, pax vobiscum.
to be honest with you all this talk about cheesecake is kinda confusing, coach christopher don't got that on the go zone desert menu, that's not gonna happen
dominik olejniczak is athletic enough & got enough foot speed that he could potentially play the 4 in addition to the 5 if he commits to the bears & coach martin opts for a big lineup...he will officially visit berkeley next thursday may 5th
the staff is currently working on tours, activities & a customized recruiting video for olejnickzak...i have made the suggestion to the staff that the video include the following opening introductory comment: prosze przjsc na numer jeden w rankingu uczelni publicanych na swiecie i niech shocky siedziec obok swojego krzwego brutneki jogi dziewczyna nataliia na gamedays
note: natalia (standing next to a slouching dominik) is not signaling his gpa, he's not a dumb azz
the university of california, berkeley=#1 ranked public (#3 overall) university in the world (including poland)
the cal staff is in discussions with 7' 249 lbs drake freshman transfer dominik olejniczak from poland
given the 2016 class academic recruiting challenges (which will be discussed in more depth as things play out), it's a very positive sign to note that olejniczak told the des moines register that "i choose drake (the college, not the artist) because it seems to be a school that offers a balanced educational program that links together academics and school...i feel excited about acquiring knowledge both on the court and beyond it as well as a sought after job applicant"
does that sound better than you "wanna go to a pure basketball school" or you "are gonna get buckets" or you "want to have the ball in your hands from day 1 (regardless of competition)"?
as a freshman in rural farmland iowa olejniczak averaged 6.5 ppg on an absolutely remarkable 72.2% field goals & 4.1 rpg despite being mystically undertilized at 16.5 mpg
but more importantly it is a cal's monster class exclusive scoop that dominik's girlfriend (who will most likely sit courtside next to me) was a star fan at the 2014 world cup hosted by brazil & won by germany...do you got your season tix(s) for next season at haas?
dominik, yeah we got them curvy brunette yoga females in the beautiful & diverse cosmopolitan san francisco bay area too which is a blending pot of cultures from around the globe
the university of california, berkeley=#1 ranked public (#3 overall) university in the world (including poland)
dominik, nie pytaj coch martin gdzie ja fryzury ok?...to bedzie zie skonczyc...on nie miec piekne wlosy jak swoja dziewczyne natalia
my overwhelming question is why was the team so relatively unsuccessful?
1) Average (weighted by minutes played) experience entering the season: 0.8 year 2) Number of seniors on the roster: 0 3) Number of guards on the roster: 2 4) Number of players on the roster (by conference season): 8
Whatever happened to Polack jokes? Seemed to be pretty big in the 80s but isn't really a thing anymore. Kinda like Corey Feldman, I suppose.
the biggest polish joke are the truly academic mediocre other schools that dominik is visiting...colorado (the pot capital of the united states of america), ole miss (the home of big hair for females), florida (the hottest place on earth during the summer) & florida state (drinking is more important than schoolwork)...is olejniczak trying to set himself up for a better future after college or what?...pretty sure that at some of those schools they don't even make you read books & **** like that, you just gotta play basketball
dominik, nie badz glupi azz

i dunno maybe the problem was zero players from poland?
sammy, what up with the cal basketball shorts at the beach?
roman, wearing a high school prom cummerbund around the waist is a beach fashion nightmare, you might not know how to speak australian but that outfit is speaking volumes
jaylen rockin' the stylish trunks with the simple drawstring & the clean shades, no wonder them curvy brunette yoga girls wanna talk to you
huf, are you gonna audition for jersey boys with the accessorized gold chain?...where's paulie?
ivan, not sure that foot locker beachwear is working for you the same way you work around the basket
shut up, shocky#
brenden, nice job borrowing your dad eric's skinny black tie (i know all your fashion tricks) that works well with the shiny jacket & the green (although i'm partial to fuschia) shoelaces that tell the world that you got it goin' on
roger, i didn't know you wear glasses...is it really true that cal basketball players can read books & **** like that?
sammy, the whole miami casual sunday afternoon brunch at joe's stone crabs attire is pulled off by the matching jacket & topsiders...please order me the jumbo lump crab cakes with green tomato & caper remoulade along with a cold perrier, ok?
cole & jabari, did you guys go online with glapion & get 45% off on a bulk discount purchase of 3 brown shoes?...hope they got a refund policy
ivan, gotta love the sleek clean lines of your crisp fashion forward ensemble complemented by the brassy watch but what's up with the right hand across the belly, do you got diaherea or what?...where was this award winning fashion statement at the banquet when you dressed like a runaway at the lake merrit bus stop?
kam, trust me, neither kristy or alicia keys likes your ugly azz beard, are you really trying to look like a 40 year old convict or are you auditioning for the role of javert in les miz?...lose the beard, what time does the personal grooming department at walgreens close tonite?
jordan, you got a good sense for colors along with the tie flair, you are a ceo in the making (as long as you don't go all creasy on dumb azzs in the board room)
stephen, you look like the stern headmaster at a private east coast prep school that would thoroughly enjoy knocking any troublemakers on their azzs if they get out of line
king, nobody wears 3 piece suits during the summertime in the san francisco bay area, you should've consulted that curvy brunette yoga female friend of yours victoria before you stepped out the door
nick, you are a ******* fashion disaster (although the tapered slacks are a definite plus) with your too busy (sometimes less is more) statement that tries unsuccessfully to work black on black, no wonder you look like a waiter at nobu malibu that is covering his balls after delivering the anti curcho peruvian style spicy chicken skewers to the wrong table...no tip for you, my friend
dominik, jesli tylko przestrzegac zalacen natalii mody wam wtedy bedzie kredens gc i nie klaun w cyrku
the bears staff is actively recruiting bishop montgomery's class of 2017 dynamic duo of 6'5" 180 lbs jordan schakel & 6'5" 170 lbs ethan thompson
ethan scored 17 points & jordan scored 14 points in the bishop montgomery knight's opening game 58-56 endangerment of the santa margarita eagles
both guys are being coached up by longtime highly respected so cal basketball head coach doug mitchell...i met mitchell at the oakland airport on the rental car rental shuttle bus after he traveled north in support of his former player justin cobbs senior day game...mitchell places a strong emphasis upon academics & his relationships with his student athletes extends beyond their time in torrance...we talked about richard solomon who also played for mitchell before transferring to price high school with the hopes of playing less with his back to the basket & more as a stretch 4 (solo was a career .571 free throw % shooter during his 4 years at cal)
the question in these recruitments is do these young men really want to pursue their collegiate basketball experiences at the #1 ranked public (#3 overall) university in the world?...jordan's parents graduated from usc & ethan's dad stevie is an assistant coach at oregon state and his bro stevie is a freshman for the beavers
go knights#
the cal staff has offered jordan schakel, the 4.3 gpa true student athlete is an ideal fit for the #1 ranked public (#3 overall) university in the world
ethan thompson is also a very good student but at the end of the day he's gonna end up in freezing azz corvallis with his dad & bro
us news is ranking cal #3 in their 2015 collegiate world rankings
a cal degree is like a winning lottery ticket, it will open an unlimited number of doors in the future in your quest to achieve your dreams & goals in life...today's highly competitive global marketplace favors those that are well educated, that's just the way it is...if you go to an academically mediocre school & get injured you are ******, that's why you got to be mentally limitless
but you gotta have academic ambition to graduate from cal, are you willing to do the work?
yeah, ambition is priceless, it's something in your veins
50 year decision#
what are the world college rankings for colorado, ole miss, florida & florida state?
dominik, uzyj linku powyzej badania reputacie akademickich innych szkol, ktore odwiedzasz, ok?...sa skozlys clown dia niemych azzs

there are very few things in life more joyous than watching jordan mathews run back on defense after knocking down a 3 point moneyball with j mat signaling that's he off to the races with his tongue hanging out & a determined smile forever frozen in time
the magic of cal basketball (creasy style)#
jordan mathews told me in the locker room at the banquet that his recovery from surgery is going well & that he'll be back on the floor soon, he still rolling around on a knee scooter
but let's be real here, creasy has put on a few extra chunky lbs

let's be real here, j-mat is just tryna to get some sympathy love from them california curvy brunette yoga females...and maybe a city of berkeley handicapped parking pass too
who are these guys on the california golden bears basketball team?...do you wanna be a part of all of this?

*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
ivan rabb is the best returning player in college basketball & has the potential to be the #1 pick in the nba's 2017 draft but more importantly young ivee got a 3.0 gpa at cal, that is an absolutely remarkable achievement
dominik olejniczak got the opportunity to blueshirt & compete every day in practice against rabb/rooks/okoroh & then study with them at the #1 ranked public university in the world to ensure a brighter tomorrow

taking a page out of the oregon state wes tinkle playbook, washington's lorenzo romar has hired michael porter sr as an assistant coach to ensure that his son blue chipper michael porter jr (2017) ends up in seattle
ethan thompson (2017) is signed, sealed & delivered to corvallis too regardless of the cal offer
the bears staff is actively recruiting 6'1" 155 lbs brandon williams the top ranked pg on the west coast & top 25 player in the 2018 class from crespi carmelite high school
williams has elite court speed & vision and can create for both his teammates & himself with jumpers off the dribble
the 2 schools on him the hardest at this time are cal & arizona
williams led crespi carmelite to a high school championship at haas pavilion last spring & then his parents joined him for an unofficial visit this november for the blue & gold scrimmage...he's already built a strong relationship with fellow los angeles guy, roman davis
brandon kinda wasted his academic talents as a freshman with a 2.5 gpa (which is not gonna get you a scholly to berkeley) but is now very motivated to become mentally limitless, his gpa this year is closer to 3.3...as his gpa continues to rise, the difference between an academically mediocre school like arizona with its 95% acceptance rate & the #1 ranked public (#3 overall) university in the world will become more of a factor when a decision is made down the road
cal's started at the bottom class (2018)#
the cal staff has offered brandon williams in recognition of his gpa improvement & academic ambition, his high character & elite basketball talents have never been in question
played whisper rock (upper) this morning with slim wadie, skippi & an asu sun angel donor
walking down the 10th fairway we had the following conversation:
shocky: so what up with savon goodman, why would the devil's leading rebounder & 3rd leading scorer leave as a graduate transfer to a lower level program like lasalle?
mr asu: goodman failed a bunch of drug tests
shocky: so you're telling me that you can get a 2.5 gpa in high school, a 2.5 gpa in junior college, do a ****load of drugs at asu & still graduate in 2 years like savon?...that's hard to believe
mr asu (putting his arm around my shoulder): look shoski, i never said asu is the harvard of the west but asu has got a lot of other pluses (his wife is a curvy brunette yoga female)
shocky: understood
we walk in silence for a minute or two
mr asu: do you really think that some of the cal players aren't doing drugs too?
shocky: i dunno, maybe advil
