4) kukio: fazio course that emphasizes fun vs difficulty with the usual discover properties over the top on course food stations


5) kukui'ula: underrated weiskopf design with a somewhat mundane front nine & an exceptional back nine


cal basketball & islands golf road trip#

So, you fly around, watch Cal basketball, play local golf courses... based upon your posts and photo choices, I also assume you collect some local poon, too, right?

the california golden bears vs san diego state aztecs (28-10 last season) battle is currently scheduled for monday november 21st at the new golden 1 center in sacramento

fully expect both jordan brown (roseville), the #2 ranked player in the 2018 class & tolu jacobs yaffa (sacramento), a monster 2018 true center to be in attendance

Why do you read this thread?

former cal silent commit (to his uncle travis decuire) 2017 jaylen nowell with a commitment to hometown washington

will be interesting to see if this commitment (along with the huskies recruitment of daejon davis) stays firm if coach romar misses the ncca tournament for a 6th year in a row & attendance continues to decline in seattle

ira, are you gonna limit yourself to being just a basketball player on a basketball court with a basketball?...how's that gonna play out in the long run (basketball is always done with everybody sooner than they think)?...are you gonna use basketball or is basketball gonna use you?

or are you perhaps gonna fully challenge yourself to pursue your nba aspirations, earn a degree from the #1 ranked public university in the world that will open doors forever & help those less fortunate as part of your community commitment to give back?...are you truly multiple?

it's all in front of you, it's a 50 year decision

and no, the cal basketball program doesn't want you to become the next jaylen brown (whose got a $12 million 3 year guaranteed nba contract & shoe money), that's not possible...berkeley will guide you in fulfilling the mentally limitless promise of a unique ira lee

kentucky's big blue madness is apparently good times for everyone...coach calipari is a great speaker!

so how much would it cost marcus lee' mom, older brother bryan, another family member and wille beamon to accompany marcus on his official visit to scenic lexington on october12-14th?

checking travelocity, the cheapest flights from oakland to lexington are on delta for $620 per person

leave the lee's antioch home on friday october 12th at 4:00 am in order to check in at the oakland airport by 4:30 am (90 minutes before the 6:00 am delta departure)

there are no direct or even 1 stop flights from oakland to lexington so the 6:00 am flight will stop in los angeles and atlanta and arrive in scenic lexington at 6:55 pm

rent an enterprise suv (lexington car rental rates are quite inexpensive) so the total cost for the rental including taxes and one gasoline refill will be $125

check into the doubletree hotel for $179 per room per night...the cost of the 2 rooms for 2 nights will be $780

count on $25 per day per person for food and drinks

check out of the doubletree on sunday october 14th by 4:00 am in order to return the rental and check in for the 6:00 am delta flights back to oakland

delta stops in atlanta and salt lake city and arrive back into oakland at 12:12 pm

pay $25 for oakland airport parking and drive home to antioch

total cost of trip: around $3,700 plus a really reliable alarm clock

important cal's monster class notice to all 2017 & 2018 cal targeted prospective student athletes that are also considering arizona:

when i refer to the university of arizona as an academically mediocre school what am i talking about?

is it because arizona got a 95%+ acceptance rate?...if you got a prison ged you are good to go for enrolling in tucson, no problemo

is it because an arizona degree is pretty worthless in today's fiercely competitive global economy that favors the well educated?...if you get injured while at arizona you are ******...a blink of an eye an injury means your basketball dreams are all gone, basketball is done with you...then what, are you gonna move back home with moms & flip burgers for minimum wages?

the truth is that arizona has almost zero academic standards...terrance ferguson is considering playing in australia because he went to high school at prime prep in dallas

guess what?...the ncca, which has pretty low academic standards, doesn't even consider prime prep a legitimate high school:

"when you're starting an academy for athletes and your solution for how to teach courses is to purchase a curriculum, particularly a non traditional curriculum, then you're going to open yourself to additional scrutiny from the ncca"
-john infante, ncca compliance officer

but arizona considers prime prep a real school (it's now closed) & accepted terrance ferguson...and that's why arizona is considered a clown school in the real world


cal, stanford & ivy league grads got unlimited futures and arizona grads face uncertain futures...trust me, basketball is gonna be done with you (and probably sooner than you think) at some point in your life, are you preparing yourself to be successful beyond your wildest dreams so you can take care of moms or are you gonna just gonna be a dumb azz that balls out in tucson until the **** hits home?

50 year decision#

---

the donut boy of tuscon confirmed this morning that terrance ferguson, who did not attend a real high school, will not be reporting to tuscon but instead will be playing pro basketball somewhere

now he's just gotta worry about incoming recruit rawle alkins who has not been cleared by the ncca but has been accepted by the university of arizona (which is not surprising for an academically mediocre school with a 95% acceptance rate, got a ged, no problemo your accepted)...yeah, it's a real honor to be recruited by arizona or the el paso school of bartending

quite an offseason for coach miller, he got rid of (much too late according to the victim's family) alleged rapist elliott pitts...despite 4 years in tuscon zeus & gabe york did not develop into nba draftable players & team chemistry last season was a disaster with sean in several well documented confrontations with his players

plus the dunkin' donuts on ina road closed too

tuscon is a dump#

is jaylen brown smart or not?

he & jabari don't look like rocket scientists in this foto while roman looks like a bad azz chef that will **** you up if you bitch about the veal marsala with mushrooms, you had better just eat the davis cuisine & shut up

yeah, the bears do more community service than any other college basketball program in the united states which embraces the spirit of the greatest public university in the world & its history of free speech, civil rights progress & helping those less fortunate

are you gonna get on the love train?

*****kevin knox: 17 points & 6 boards along with 7 turnovers

make no mistake about it, troy brown jr got multiple skills including a 3.7 gpa:gobears:

I may have missed discussion about him, but what is the latest on Wendell Carter? Most of the national recruiting sites don't give Cal even on the radar. Any legitimate shot to land him?

He seems like a great kid who has talents in many areas outside of basketball. Reminds me of Jaylen Brown.

foto credit goes to hoop dreams

jaylen is from divorced parents & agreed that his mom mechalle has done a fantastic job in raising such a remarkable son with diverse interests & a sincere passion to help others

there are a lot of amazing bearents behind the cal basketball program & tami rabb is also notable for her son young ivee's academic ambition & genuine aspirations to be a worthy hero/role model in oaktown

when you attend games in berkeley at haas pavilion & scream your azz off for them california golden bears you are recognizing/supporting special young men with your energy & revenue dollars an ideal of a better tomorrow, something much bigger than the game of basketball

coach martin is currently in zaragoza spain showing the love for wendell carter along with his team usa teammates jordan brown (3.5 gpa), troy brown jr (3.7 gpa) & kevin knox (3.5 gpa) ...carter is an ideal cal fit in many ways, if wendell decides to make a visit to berkeley, game on

Shocky1;842702485 said:

---

coach martin has extended an actionable offer to 6'10" 240 lbs wendell carter the #3 ranked player in the 2017 class from the pace academy in atlanta & the summertime aau cp3




carter is ridiculously strong & can attack the basket with elite athleticism & is a tenacious rebounder

wendell is not a dumb azz, he got a 4.0 gpa & while he is a likely future nba lottery pick he is also interested in engineering

carter's only planned official trip is to harvard...he's already unofficially visited duke twice & intends to attend kentucky's big blue madness

while cal is in his top 10 schools, the key to this recruitment will be to secure one of carter's official visits...a semi longshot at this time, an official visit to berkeley could result in a seismic shift in his recruitment, kinda like jaylen brown's quiet visit to cali

this season's home schedule is notable for the epic collegiate basketball battles with virginia (an excellent academic institution with a top 5 basketball program) & arizona (an academically mediocre school with dramatic last possession barnburners in recent years with the bears)

but the real date circled on my calendar is the home game vs oregon

point guard dylan ennis has been awarded a 6th year of eligibility by the ncca & the ducks are now the clear favorite for the upcoming pac 12 title...but the oregon basketball program is also unaccountable for their actions off the court & their head coach dana altman is a criminal, they represent everything that is wrong with collegiate athletics

good does not not always defeat evil but you can be assured that the most satisfying & rewarding potential win for next season will be vs the heart of darkness...will you be in haas pavilion to voice/express your opinion?

Shocky1;842701297 said:

important note to all prospective 2017 & 2018 cal targets that are also considering oregon: dana altman is a criminal

what you need to know about altman: during labor day weekend of 2010 tony woods beat the crap out of his girlfriend in front of their 8 month old child...woods was arrested and charged with three counts of assault for kicking and pushing courney lorel barbout who suffered a fracture of her spine in the attack

against the 6'11" 250 lbs woods, courney had no chance to protect herself

wake forest did the right thing & suspended woods

so oregon's sleazeball head coach dana altman recruited woods to shore up the ducks interior defense


dana altman & steve alford are enablers of sexual predators (just like joe paterno) that commit crimes of violence against women if it means they might win a few more games


who else has altman recruited to eugene?

*elgin cook, declared ineligible during high in milwaukee for having a gpa under 2.0 & also left school for florida due to his involvement with gang activity

http://fox40.com/2013/01/10/roseville-prep-academy-coach-arrested-for-physical-abuse/

*jaquan lyle, 2.5 gpa in high school & suspended for fighting in high school was ineligible to enroll at oregon

*ray kosongo was denied admission by the university's special admission board which was created by concerned faculty re: altman's disinterest in recruiting high character student athletes

*ben carter, suspended along with dominic artis for selling team issued shoes/gear, transfered to unlv

*a.j. lapray transferred to pepperdine

*brandon austin, 2.6 gpa in philly, was suspended from the providence basketball team after being charged with a sexual assault of a female student...he immediately was recruited & transferred to oregon...when confronted by the media, altman claimed he checked austin's background but did not know he raped a girl while at providence...charged in the rape of an oregon female student...dismissed

*damyean dotson, suspended during the season for trying to use a fake id at a bar...charged in the rape of an oregon female student...dismissed

*dominic artis, named in the rape of an oregon female student...dismissed with a court restraining order does not allow him to set foot on the university of oregon campus

*elgin cook & jalil abdul bassit were arrested by the eugene police department for shoplifting at market across the street from matthew knight arena on sept 12th of last season...dana altman has stated "we expect our student athletes to conduct themselves as solid members of this community and team...both were "internally disciplined" (which means nothing as usual)"
http://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/index.ssf/2014/10/two_oregon_ducks_basketball_pl.html

*dana altman knews that elgin cook had been cited for assault & battery, disorderly conduct and vandalism four years ago in wisconsin before he recruited him to oregon...criminal dana altman has stated "i was aware of elgin's background prior to his arrival at the university of oregon...the two years before he arrived here, elgin did very well at prep school and junior college, especially in the classroom...we would not have recruited elgin if we didn't believe he was capable of receiving a college education that he would appreciate and value"
http://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/index.ssf/2014/10/dana_altman_was_aware_of_elgin.html

*jordan bell cited for harassing an oregon parking officer attempting to place a ticket on his car...altman suspended bell for 1 game, a home game vs pac 12 cellar opponent washington state

*dana altman has been named in the lawsuit against the university of oregon filed by the female student victim of the brutal player sexual assault for his role in allegedly lying to authorities that he did not know that brandon austin was dismissed by providence for raping a female student...settled out of court with a confidentiality clause

*ahmaad rorie transferred to montana after the promised playing opportunities never materialized

*dana altman has been named in a lawsuit seeking $7.5m in damages filed by rapist brandon austin
http://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/index.ssf/2015/10/dismissed_basketball_player_br.html

*trevor manuel is transferring from oregon after a couple of months in eugene

*dana altman has been named in a lawsuit seeking $10m in damages each filed by rapists dominic artis & daymean dotson
http://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/index.ssf/2016/03/former_ducks_damyean_dotson_do.html

*when mike montgomery had his cancer scare dana altman & his henchman tony stubblefield negatively recruited against the bears basketball program using this medical situation as a reason not to attend cal

make no mistake about it, altman & stubblefield are pieces of worthless ****, they are dancing with the devil

arizona is ramping up its recruitment of the following 3s & 4s...sorry ira, the donut boy of tucson has also promised them he's gonna use them like aaron gordon, solomon hill & stanley johnson on the basketball court with a basketball

*****jarred vanderbilt, 6'7" 205 lbs
*****pj washington, 6'7" 220 lbs
*****charlie obannon jr, 6'6" 200 lbs
*****jordan tucker, 6'7" 205 lbs
*****galen alexander, 6'6" 200 lbs
*****sam froling (australian) 6'9" 205 lbs

that's in addition to the following wildcats that will be likely returning at the 3/4 next season:

*****ray smith
*****chase comanche (wants to play the 4, not 5)
*****rawle alkins
*****lauri markkanen (sean promised him he could play the 4, not 5, this is currently being renegotiated)
*****keanu pinder

ira, let's be real here, sometimes the donut boy of tucson says ****/makes promises that aren't true

when unlv transfer jordan cornish tweeted out the he was a cal commit there were a lot of excited golden bears fans

uh, except the cal coaching staff which was caught by surprise, cornish hadn't been cleared yet by cal admissions which were not impressed with his mediocre gpas & transcripts at brother martin high school in the big easy & unlv:headbang

anyways, jordan was denied admission by cal admissions but this story got a happy ending, he's gonna head back to new orleans with today's commitment to tulane

moral of the story: when jordan cornish tells you your gonna go on a double date to commander's palace with one of them curvy brunette yoga females with a flat stomach, make sure you got confirmation:bravo

and in the big easy it never hurts to make sure that the girl of your dreams is not a dude

note: this is an authenticated female

team usa (6-0) went on a 16-2 run in the 3rd quarter to pull away 98-70 from team lithuania

bobby "off to the races" hurley is slowly building the duke of the desert thru the recruitment of outstanding student athletes that are interested in pursuing their academic dreams in tempe

yeah, but sometimes something gets lost in translation...asu just signed ramon vila a 6'9" 230 lbs power forward from barcelona, cataluna who is very excited to play for seor hurley per his recent comments (with shockster subtitles for the hearing impaired)

"i choose asu because i saw that it is one of the best academic colleges" (seor hurley has assured me that i will be required to read libros & caca like that)

"i really like the campus too, it's enormous, and there are a lot of people to know" (i would like to have sex with as many asu females with low gpas as humanely possible until i return back to spain)

"in spain the universities are smaller than the usa and every student would like to study in america" (but mostly have sex with many american females)

"this is a dream come true" (seor hurley is a very good man, he will teach me how to bet on the ponies and other important life skills")

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 asu grad wife is a curvy brunette yoga female)
