Why don't you tell Dom about your golfing adventures in his homeland?
http://www.top100golfcourses.co.uk/golf-courses/continental-europe/poland

while stunning tatra national park is one of my favorite places in eastern europe, there really aren't any golf courses in poland that are architecturally significant from a worldwide perspective

the important thing for dom to realize is that cal is not only the #1 ranked public university in the world (including poland) but that it's also the epicenter of the free speech & civil rights movements...berkeley is a wonderfully diverse place to explore & celebrate your own unique individuality without the pressure to conform but there is a shared social conscience/responsibility to help those less fortunate (including them rescue dogs)

dominik, what's your dream?

For 2016 we've already signed wing Jaelyn Brown (remarkable name coincidence) and guard Sara Anastasieska (transfer, must sit out a year). AFAIK we're still recruiting point Mi'Cole Cayton (released by Nebraska), we should know soon. And our 2017 recruiting might not be finished.

Also I'm hoping current wings Mikayla Cowling and MaAne Mosley will spend the summer working on guard skills.

the cal staff's overall #1 recruiting target on the big board jordan brown of woodcreek high school (roseville) has moved up to #2 in the most recent scout national rankings (behind marvin bagley of sierra canyon high school who may or may not attend college) for the 2018 class

yeah, both travis decuire & theo robertson were telling me about an elite middle schooler from near sacramento a couple of years ago

jordan's mom loves going to his games & dad played at louisiana lafayette and then was drafted by the san antonio spurs back in the day and coaches up his son the same way phil mathews got his son creasy out of an early season shooting slump by telling him to jump more vertically on his 3 point moneyballs

jordan & his family have visited berkeley several times including the closed practice the day before the team traveled to australia last summer & also gamedays during the 18-0 perfect home season at haas pavillion, they've experienced the family atmosphere of the cal basketball program

brown is the young ivee (richard midgley told me he thinks they have very similar skillsets) of the 2018 class & with his 3.5 gpa is an ideal true student athlete leader for cal's started at the bottom class (2018) along with miles norris & brandon williams

let's do this




the university of california, berkeley=#1 ranked public (#3 overall) university in the world (and the closest school to the fam)

check out the informative q&a with the mature true student athlete jordan brown below, he got a 3.5 gpa but is striving for a 4.0 gpa

yeah, jordan is an ideal cal fit, no wonder it's the 1st school that comes to his mind when he lists his potential colleges

What, no vegetables? - either raw or cooked?

cherry picking? in pickup basketball cherry picking is uncool
in college basketball, cherry picking is two points
but you are right. Wiltjer was by far the worse, but out of 60 players measured at the combine, JB's 5.05 was in the 90% tile
Gary Payton was the best at 3.95. The only players with only 3% body fat

this is cal basketball#

the cal staff has offered 6'8" 195 lbs top 10 player in the 2017 class kevin knox from tampa catholic high school




knox averaged 30 ppg & 11 rpg as a junior during his junior year in florida & is currently averaging 21.3 ppg, 7.6 rpg & 1.7 apg on the aau circuit this summer for team e1t1...he plays with extraordinary athleticism & remarkale ball skills for a guy of his size

kevin got a 3.5 gpa & moms says if he gets 3.5+ he'll get wheels, dude is definitely motivated...he's not a dumb azz

all the major powerhouses are scheduling in homes with the knox family, the biggest question from a california golden bears recruitment perspective is does kevin wanna experience something different away from the east coast?...does he wanna attend the #1 ranked public (#3 overall) university in the world in the diverse & beautiful san francisco bay area in a cal basketball supportive family environment?

young ivee told me that he thinks he will be more comfortable vocally demanding the ball next season, that it doesn't happen just naturally for him due to his personality...he did make some progress in this area during the final 10 games

coach christopher told me that rabb currently weighs 219 lbs & that he will ideally play at 228-230 lbs next season

ivan's goal should be to be selected as the #1 player in the 2017 nba draft, he's got that potential if he can average 10+ shots a game next season in exploiting other teams




impose your will (demand the ball)#

young ivee also told me at the banquet that he was excited about drake's new album dropping earlier that day, drake is his favorite artist along with j cole & future for getting amped up on gamedays

so what does ivan think now?


brenden glapion, on the other hand, thinks its drake 2nd best album ever after take care


musical opinions are like dumb azzs, everybody got one

***brett boese is out of eligibility
***junior longrus is out of eligibility

my niece bailey doing a selfie with her favorite washington state cougar/golden state warrior klay thompson


klay isn't my favorite cougar, not even close...it should be mentioned (again) that curvy brunette yoga females from academically mediocre schools like washington state wanna date & marry cal, stanford & ivy league grads, that's just how the world works


i fully expect my man travis decuire, the head coach at montana & a seattle native, to be offered the head coach position at wsu after ernie is fired after this season...of course, if lorenzo misses the ncca tournament for the 6th straight season as expected, washington might hire td to turn around the struggling basketball program in seattle

as the world turns (bad times in the northwest)#

the cal staff has extended an actionable offer & is relentlessly targeting 7' 225 lbs ikechukwu "ikey" obiagu a top 10 player in the 2017 class from the greenforest mccalep christian academy in decatur georgia & the georgia stars aau team




obiagu is already an devestating shot blocker/rim defender & would benefit from being coached up by wyking jones on a daily basis both on & off the court

ikey is the son of nigerian parents & got a 3.9 gpa, he's not a dumb azz...he told ryan gorcey "education is also important, even if i leave early (for the nba) i would still complete my education"

obiagu kinda sounds like a 2016 nba lottery pick from atlanta that fell in the california sun, not taking about chief noc a homa

what's the biggest thing i would change (if i could) re: our guys?

without a doubt that would be their ******* pointless addictions to video games

1st guy taylor & i spoke to at the banquet was tyrone, he tells me he's "by far" the best video games player in the house...so i spend the rest of the nite talking to each guy & they all laugh (and tell me that tyrone's claim is not even close to accurate) & passionately tell me who's the best video game player, the answers tended to focus upon a specific player's game expertise like roger with fifa or something like that (i really don't understand any of this ****)

anyways, their brains are all rotting away...yeah, they're probably playing some games at the house right now while reading this, that's messed up

ivan, are you ******* serious?...are you intentionally trying to **** me off?

uniwersytet kalifornijski, berkeley=numer jeden w rankingu univwersytet publicny na swiecie (w tym w polsce)

good luck to dom at ole miss in his search for basketball & personal development, this was a unusual recruitment for several reasons & he's made the decision that college in the kinda redneck south will be the best fit for him...i hope he finds acceptance in oxford

not very often will a recruit like dom with a 3.55 gpa during his freshman year at drake pass up the opportunity to get a degree from the #1 ranked public university in the world (including poland) for an academically mediocre school like ole miss, drake is a better regarded college than ole miss

congrats to the rapidly growing cal basketball fan base that turned off their tv sets & traveled to haas pavilion on gamedays (often with their family & friends) that resulted in a perfect 18-0 season at our palace:gobears:

we got a true loud & hostile homecourt haas advantage which is critical for recruiting, big time recruits wanna play on large stages:bravo

the attendance increased a remarkable 25.7%, this will probably be the #1 increase in college attendance this season thanks to your loyal passion & energy for our true student athletes & hard working staff:axe

2015/2016 average game attendance for pac 12 teams:
1) arizona-14,257
2) utah-12,998
3) california-10,183 (25.7% increase over prior season)
4) colorado-8,540
5) ucla-8,072
6) oregon-7,467
7) washington-6,978
8) oregon state-6,256
9) arizona state-5,807
10) usc-4,607 (it's true, nobody gives a **** about usc basketball)
11) stanford-4,393
12) washington state-2,857

season in the california sun#:woohoo


what's your role with 2016/2017 attendance at haas pavilion & continuing to support the upward trajectory of the cal basketball program?

if you're a tv fan, are you gonna get to berkeley on a few gamedays next season?

if you're a fan, are you gonna get season tix(s) next season?

if you're a season tix(s) holder, are you gonna renew & increase the # of seats to include other people in your family/circle of friends?

you are the key to the future of the cal basketball program, the increased attendance this year & the historic 18-0 perfect home record are intertwined, our guys played significantly better in berkeley in front of our loud loyal fans than they did on the hostile road, hopefully they will play with greater mental toughness on the road next season

with ivan returning, the time is now for everything

let's do this#

---

are you gonna be in your palace again next season or not?...was there even one cal fan who did not depart haas pavilion after any game without a smile on their face?

tomorrow is the deadline to renew your same seats, this is your palace

happy b-day, alec, love your enthusiasm for the #1 ranked public (#3 overall) university in the world

hope you maximize your time at prep school to build muscle thru the s&c program, continue grinding to improve your basketball skills & most importantly work harder in the class room to raise your gpa to ensure a successful admission & transition to berkeley

nobody became mentally limitless overnight, alec, your journey is all in front of you...you got the 100% support of coach martin & the cal staff

let's do this

brandon chauca recently had the year end meeting that coach martin has with every player & coach asked him how he would feel if he never got off the bench next season...brandon told him that he's gonna work so hard & consistently knock down 3 pointers that coach won't have a choice but to play him

coach martin will also hopefully have a similar meeting in the near future with alec hickman focusing on 3 areas:

***academics: how did alec do this last semester of his senior year, did he achieve at least a 3.5+ gpa?...his overall borderline 3.0 gpa makes him a potential non acceptance risk with cal admissions...the staff frustrated oscar frayer, davon dillard, tyson jolly & jordan cornish and themselves (acting like a victim because of your own poor decisions is a clown's errand) by recruiting guys who weren't gonna be accepted at cal because of substandard academics

***s&c development: how much good weight/strength has hickman put on since his commitment, is he building the body to compete as a pac 12 level athlete?

***basketball skills: alec was named to the orange county's 4th team as a senior, is he developing the shooting, ball handling & defensive skills to be a contributor for the cal basketball program?

asking hickman to attend prep school for a year if he truly isn't a cal fit isn't fair to the young man, there is still time for him to sign with a less academically challenging low mid major program that he can earn playing time

if alec is making the necessary positive steps to be a contributor to the cal basketball program & is willing to accept his role in the future, then we'll look forward to seeing hickman in berkeley in 2017

there was a significant factor (that must remain confidential) in dominik olejniczak's recruitment that was beyond cal's control, the staff did their job
