alec hickman with 10 points on 4-12 fields including 2-6 3 pointers along with 5 boards & no assists as his team eleate lost 69-49 to the showtime ballers elite at the adidas summertime championship in las vegas
in the 2nd game alec scored 16 points on 6-14 fields including 4-9 3 pointers along with 2 boards & no assists as team eleate defeated the dallas mustangs 90-70
donnie tillman scored 7 points with 3 boards in dream vision's 1st game with coach martin & coach jones watching the action & 21 points with 8 boards in the 2nd game
more importantly unlike coach martin & coach jones, donnie got good hair:bravo

donnie tillman is now playing for dream vision & exploded for 25 points on 9-12 field goals & 7-10 free throws along with 11 boards (5 offensive & 6 defensive) & a sloppy 5 turnovers in leading his aau team to a 80-59 victory over team lillard at the adidas championship in las vegas
check out ira lee's monster dunk to ice the game as the earl watson elite behind jemarl "you can call me steph" baker 26 points defeated splash city led by damari milstead's 25 points
oshae brissett got a lotta energy with 18 points, 8 boards, 4 steals, an assist & a block in 33 minutes as team canada bitch slapped team puerto rico 83-66 in fiba u18 competition
yeah, drake & coach martin are both big fans of oshae
trevon duvall will unofficially visit cal this august along with kansas, arizona, ucla & oregon on a west coast swing of schools
duvall has not decided on a new high school (his 3rd in 3 years) after attending the completely misnamed dallas advanced prep international for his junior year
trevon's dad says the decision will be based upon style of play, coaching & conference
50 year decision?#
Shocky1;842511774 said:
the cal staff has offered trevon duval, a 6'3" 170 lbs point guard & top 10 player in the 2017 class
trevon attended st benedict's prep in new jersey last year but is considering transferring to a new high school including those in california for his junior year of school
duval is a relentless attacked with length & a willing facilitator/distributor...he's got offers from all the basketball factories & also the #1 ranked public university in the world in beautiful california
jordan brown's summertime aau debut included his developing perimeter game as cal's #1 overall recruiting priority target & the #2 ranked player in the 2018 class knocked down 3-5 3 pointers for play hard play smart elite at the adidas summer championship in las vegas
yeah, jordan would be the ideal leader of cal's started at the bottom class (2018)#
the university of california, berkeley=#1 ranked public (#3 overall) university in the world (including roseville)
Congratulations! How many holes in one have you ever made?

got dropped off late this afternoon at 4:40 pm at pacific grove golf links & immediately (there is no driving range) headed to the 1st hole with my bag over my shoulder
with two dozen or so folks watching from the adjacent practice putting green & pro shop/restaurant i knocked my 7 iron 156 yards on the par 3 1st hole to a deep far right pin position in for a hole in one...just a high right to left draw that landed on the green & trickled into the hole
that's the best way to start a round, kinda reminded me of the california golden bears ridiculously en fuego start vs arkansas in the nit tournament at haas pavilion 2 seasons ago
did i buy drinks for everybody & get drunk afterwards?...nope, that's not my style (why have a yoga/meditation practice if you're gonna abuse your body?) but shay & taylor did talk me into a double scoop chocolate fudge cone at baskin robbins after our dinner at crystal fish on lighthouse avenue
this **** is getting live
cal band is great (monterey peninsula is midnight city)#
ira lee relentlessly played thru an injured shoulder including his monster dunk to ice the game but he's done for the weekend, nurse wicked has got him on the training table but don't tell valerie:headbang
Congratulations! How many holes in one have you ever made?
my ace at pacific grove's 1st hole was my 1st ace [ATTACH=CONFIG]5751[/ATTACH]
my closest shot prior to that was a 9 iron on the 1st hole of the augusta national par 3 course that dropped down on the flag & the stick with the a quarter of the ball leaning over the cup
yeah, we celebrated my hole in one all the way up, nobody could stop us (at baskin robbins)...coach christopher would not approve of this ******* out of control partying, make no mistake about it...two scoops, baby
cal commit jemarl baker is arguably the most undervalued player in the 2017 class & today he made an unreal 7 (seven) 3 pointers as the earl watson elite squeezed by the houston hoopstars 61-58 at the las vegas fab 48

the university of california, berkeley=#1 ranked public (#3 overall) university in the world (including corona)
troy brown jr & his dad troy sr doing the hang, on the other hand the donut boy of tucson has not bothered to watch any of troy's las vegas prospects games the last 2 days, it's clear arizona is heading in a different direction
with the wildcats now out of the picture this is gonna most likely be a cal, kansas (sister jada is on the basketball team but will graduate before troy enters college), alabama & oregon (dana altman is a criminal)...there's only one elite academic well respected institution on this list
a top 10 talent with a 3.7 gpa, troy brown jr would be an ideal fit for cal's touch the sky class (2017)
troy, let's do this
the university of california, berkeley=#1 ranked public (#3 overall) university in the world (including las vegas)
troy, what kind of coaches/mentors do you want in your life during your college experience?...does character matter or not?...does being a piece of **** human being justify winning at all costs?
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
*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
*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
earl watson elite defeated start up splash city 65-50 to win the fab 48 championship game in las vegas
the wildly underrated jemarl baker continued to drain 3 pointers from hoover dam & was named the tournament's mvp, fully expect the nation's purest long range shooter to be moved up into the top 50 of the next 2017 class rankings
also expect his teammates ira lee to be named a top 50 player too & juhwan harris-dyson (who absolutely shut down top 10 player trevon duval earlier this summer with the best defensive performance of the summer on the aau circuit) to be recognized as a top 100 player
will ira join jemarl & juhwan in berkeley?
yeah, curvy brunette yoga females wanna date & marry cal, stanford & ivy league grads...that's just how the world works
the university of california, berkeley=#1 ranked public (#3 overall) university in the world (including the resplendent galaxy of ryan silver)
zeph lee, a graduate of lincoln high school in san francisco & usc, speaks re: the correlation between physical fitness and children's health, community crime prevention & academic performance
his son ira got a 3.8 gpa, this is a very special family
coach martin made viewing donnie tillman a major priority during the now completed 3rd ncca authorized summertime evaluation period
tillman is blowing up nationally after several 25+ point explosions & is receiving high interest from other high majors including michigan (but who wants to live in cold azz weather?)
donnie is articulate, got good hair, loves his moms donna holmes who suffers from epilepsy, got academic ambition & is mentally limitless (3.3 gpa), positionless like draymond green & most importantly already understands the importance of a curvy brunette yoga female
basically he's an ideal fit for the cal basketball program...yeah, i'm the shockster & i approve this recruitment
the university of california, berkeley=#1 ranked public (#3 overall) university in the world (including all yoga/meditation studios):gobears:
ira lee intends to visit both cal & texas in august & then cut his list at that time & make a final collegiate decision in october for the november national signing period
the longer lee's recruitment plays out, the better the odds of him becoming a california golden bear...the donut boy of tucson has told wildcat donors he's not gonna wait to sign another late class like he did for the 2016 class, he's not gonna wait around for lee when he can just keep telling every recruit that they're multiple (even if they're currently a below average shooter with limited range) & that he's gonna use them like aaron gordon, solomon hill & derrick williams....lee also played his worst game of the summer in las vegas in front of miller
ira's 3.8 gpa is a huge plus for cal, the staff is all in with him...a high gpa is irrelevant to the arizona staff, they can just recruit & sign 2.5 gpa dumb azzs with elite basketball skills like terrance ferguson (not cleared by the ncca, did not attend a legitimate high school) & rawle alkins (not cleared yet by the ncca)...academically mediocre schools like arizona with 95%+ acceptance rates don't need to search for prospective student athletes with academic ambition, they just need guys that wanna play basketball on a basketball court with a basketball
the lee family lived in glendale, arizona until he was 12 years old, ira is very "comfortable" in the desert...but if he goes to arizona & gets injured, he is ******, lucrative career opportunities in today's fiercely competitive marketplace favor those that are well educated
the cal staff has extended an offer to 6'9" 215 lbs with a 7'4" wingspan theo john of champlin high school in minnesota & the howard pulley panthers aau team
theo is a high motor guy with hops that plays relentless physical d with developing offensive skills...he's team focused without a sense of entitlement that can play either the 4 or slide to the 5
coach o'toole is his lead recruiter for the california golden bears, his family places a high premium on academics
john broke his nose at last weekend's las vegas classic & dnp in the championship game...dude is not candy azz soft, he would've played in a friday the 13th hockey mask if necessary
theo has already made numerous unofficial trips to nearby minnesota, official visits to purdue & oklahoma and is scheduled to visit marquette the 2nd week of september
the big question in his recruitment is does he want to stay in the cold azz midwest for the rest of his sorry broken down azz life or explore his opportunity to attend the #1 public (#3 overall) university in the world in cali, yeah it's not sweater weather in the cosmopolitan san francisco bay area
if theo john decides to visit berkeley this is gonna be a real interesting recruitment

schedule update: cal will open the pac 12 season in late december at home vs arizona in an epic opening game, i can't breathe
the bears will not travel to washington & washington state (pullman is always a logistical nightmare for me in my quest to attend every single game & see every second possible of cal basketball) & unfortunately usc & ucla will not travel to berkeley this season
do you got your season tix(s)?...bears tixs cost a fraction of tixs to them golden state warriors, bring your family & friends and celebrate the magic of cal basketball together
ncca national college basketball attendance numbers are in & cal moved up to #42 in the nation (one of the few western states schools in the top 50) for the 2015/2016 season...cal was #3 in the pac 12 & there's no reason that with greater fan support from you on gamedays (turn off the tv, don't be a fake model) that with utah's significant player attrition/likely decline fan support that we can't move into #2 in pac 12 attendance for the 2016/2017 season http://i.turner.ncaa.com/sites/default/files/external/gametool/brackets/2016_release_mens_basketball_attendance_final1.pdf
are you gonna get season tix(s) & celebrate young ivee's return to haas pavilion for the 2016/2017 season, are you a true california golden bear?
let's do this
Shocky1;842512475 said:
the 2015/2016 golden bears basketball team has the potential to be the greatest football/basketball (with all due respect to the old timers that experienced pete newell's national championship season) cal team of our lifetimes
cal's diamonds are forever class (2015) is gonna create off the charts excitement at haas pavilion starting friday nite november 13th, an evening for the ages
are you gonna get season tix(s) at our palace haas pavilion for this potentially epic season?
2014/2015 average game attendance for pac 12 teams was as follows: 1) arizona-14,591 2) utah-12,101 3) colorado-9.135 4) california-8,099 (54th in nation) 5) ucla-7,711 6) washington-6,398 7) oregon-6,209 8) arizona state-5,985 9) oregon state-5,612 10) stanford-4,439 11) southern california-3,552 (it's true, nobody gives a **** about usc basketball) 12) washington state-3,190 http://i.turner.ncaa.com/sites/default/files/images/2015/07/06/mens-attendence.pdf
what needs to happen at haas pavilion this season in order for the team to maximize their almost unlimited potential?
the cal basketball team needs your passionate energy & full support in buying season tix(s) to push this season's average gameday attendance at haas pavilion over 10,000 in order to create the necessary hostile home court advantage for them california golden bears...being a passive tv fan does absolutely nothing for the team
right now the bears already got very strong renewal numbers & 1,000+ deposits for additional new season tix(s) seats
you can call 1-800 gobears this week to make a deposit on season tix(s) which will give you seating preference for seat selections when the current $10,000,000+ renovations (thanks to the haas/goldman family) at haas pavilion are hopefully completed this august...there are a variety of season tix packages to fit every budget & busy schedule
experience the magic of cal basketball with your family & friends in person, feel the enthusiasm & become part of the roar at haas...let's do this baby...who's the dumb azz in the purple vilebrequin shirt who's leading the stormin' the floor? [video=youtube;N7QqouIxulM][/video]
2015/2016 update: 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 was as follows: 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
2017 6'6" 195 lbs wing alfred hollins is gonna leave sacred heart cathedral high school in san francisco for a prep school for his senior year
alfred has participated in cal's open scrimmages & attended several games at haas pavilion...if hollins is ever extended an actionable offer by coach martin he would likely commit on the spot
the cal staff has extended an offer to 6'8" 200 lbs isaiah livers a top 100 player in the 2017 class from central high school in kalamazoo michigan & the meanstreets aau team out of chicago...he is playing himself into top 50 contention with his breakout summer play
like jemarl baker, livers is blowing up this summer while demonstrating an ability to consistently knock down 3 pointers (but oddly only 54% on free throws), run in transition & as a high energy active defender...he got a lotta enemies & a lot of opponents are tryna take away isaiah's energy but that's not gonna happen
isaiah got a 3.5+ gpa, he's not a dumb azz...among the growing list of interested colleges are local michigan & michigan state along with more academically elite schools like cal, stanford & harvard
livers is very interested in making a visit to berkeley & also michigan & minnesota along with a football game at michigan state in september

the university of california, berkeley=#1 ranked public (#3 overall) university in the world (including the either nasty humid or freezing azz midwest):bravo
summertime homework assignment for cal's targeted 2017 & 2018 class prospective true student athletes: using the link below write down the college ranking for each of the colleges you are potentially considering, ok?
us news is ranking cal #3 in their 2015 collegiate world rankings, it's also the #1 ranked public university in the world
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...ask your parents and other mentors for confirmation, 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
last season's california golden bears did not maximize their talents, the additions of graduate assistant coach nick kerr & coach tim o'toole are potentially significant catalysts to the team achieving their goals

taylor & i conversed with nick & steve kerr for 10 minutes in an empty haas pavilion while the rest of the crowd socialized & boozed it up in the lounge prior to the banquet
steve & i talked about where he lived in scottsdale & his favorite local restaurants when he coached the phx suns but more importantly we conversed re: our yoga practices (his studio is in berkeley), his favorite pose is the pigeon in that it helps him release his lower back
this was my 1st conversation with nick & he told me that he will serve as a graduate assistant next season for the bears while he completes his 2nd year of the public health graduate program
nick & i had a remarkable conversation in which we discussed why ivan rabb was underutilized in the low post, the passing challenges of this year's team & why the cal basketball team underachieved this season...nick is refreshingly candid & absolutely brutal in his assessments but he also got potential solutions...i'm not going to discuss the specifics of our conversation but i'm very optimistic that nick will share his thoughts with the coaches & the players, he had an up close view of the strengths & problems facing the cal basketball program this season
i've visited with quite a few nba scouts & coaches and i can tell you with confidence that nick kerr has an advanced basketball mind & a unique ability to strategize what steps need to be taken in the future to coach up this team's shortcomings
it will be very important for nick to remain edgy and outspoken & for coach martin & the older coaches to listen to kerr's input, he will be the hardest working graduate assistant in the united states, you can bank of that
cal is among the 8 finalists for troy brown jr...he will attend late night in the phog at kansas on october 1st
