update: ira lee will fly to austin & drive up to berkeley for unofficial visits in august...the current plan is to then take official visits in october with a final decision shortly thereafter

in jermarl & juhwan we trust (education matters)#

Shocky - do you think this will come down to Cal or Texas, or are others (Arizona, Kansas, maybe Maryland) still in play?

lou, this is probably (unless shaka smart pulls a rabbit out of his hat) gonna be another arizona vs cal recruiting battle:

arizona offers:
*****a sense of home, the lees lived in glendale (phx area) until he was 12
*****the donut boy of tucson was on ira early offering him as a freshman
*****the richard jefferson gymnasium (dedicated practice facility)
*****a focus upon basketball, no community service activities & significantly less homework
*****korean grandmother that makes tasty bbq lives in tucson
*****if ira & valerie break up, lots of easy dumb azz females/boppers to bang at underage drinking parties (sorry valerie but it's true, athletes in tucson are treated like pro athletes with an almost unlimited # of groupies, unfortunately some guys like elliott pitts get the mindset that they can do whatever they want which results in rape)
*****arizona is a player's program, you can do whatever the **** you want to in tuscon

cal offers:
*****the #1 ranked public (#3 overall) university in the world located in the diverse & cosmopolitan san francisco bay area that will open an infinite number of doors after basketball is done with ira, lee (3.8 gpa) will become minted whether he makes the nba or not
*****the realistic opportunity to start as a true freshman at the 3 competing against roman davis with also playing time at the 4 when marcus lee slides to the 5 during small ball
*****best friends jemarl baker & juhwan harris-dyson as part of cal's touch the sky class (2017), opportunity to build something (as opposed to carrying on a tradition) while developing special 50 year friendships
*****a growing fan base, an average of 10,183 fans at haas pavilion last season, a 25.7% increase
*****coach nicodemus christopher, the most energized & passionate ******* s&c coach in college basketball that will work (actually participate not just yell instructions) with you in achieving (and surpassing) your goals
*****coach martin's mentorship of you thru honest tough love (but never hysterical calling you out) & community service work that reflects his belief/values that there is much more to life than playing basketball on a basketball court with a basketball
*****the cal basketball program is conducted in a family 1st atmosphere

yeah, ira got a 50 year decision

theo john will officially visit cal on august 25-28 & marquette september 1-3 and also probably visit minnesota in september...he's already officially visited purdue & oklahoma

Shocky1;842710259 said:

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

"elliott pitts has informed the athletics department that he intends to transfer from the university of arizona for the upcoming school year to continue his education ...we wish him well in the future"
-sean miller

why would any person with a moral compass wish "good luck" to a rapist (pitts claims it was consensual) of a female student?

meanwhile arizona grads jason scheer, josh gershon & jeff goodman pretend it's just another day in tuscon without reporting the any facts re: this crime?

ira lee, when the donut boy of tucson tells you he runs "a players program" you might ask him if that means you don't got to do much schoolwork and/or be a valued member of the community

cal's monster class public service announcement (yeah i'm in charge of gameday facilitation/distribution too):

sammy, charlie, grant, brandon, dontae, jabari & nick- please watch multiple times the young ivee highlight video in hoop dream's post above, ok?

when ivan "demand the ball" rabb points his fingers & hand at the sky, it means you gotta lob the ******* basketball to him ok?...it's gotta be passed to him all the way up, so you can stay all the way up & if anybody ask you where you live, point to the hills, go all the way up, nothing can stop us

this really isn't that ******* complicated, you really don't need an uber helicopter to stay all the way up

[video=youtube;y2ak_oBeC-I][/video]

what a lob pass looks like to t-wall


what a lob pass looks like to young ivee


in the 2nd half young ivee is flashing towards the basket with his fingers/hand pointing upwards

t-wall got the ball & starts working thru his mental progressions:

1) what does this mean?...does ivan love astronomy 10?
2) is ivan pointing at uranus?
3) wait, does shocky want me to lob the ball to ivan?

so t-wall effortlessly lobs the ball to young ivee for a richter scale 6.9 california earthquake & haas pavilion goes bat****




sign language matters#

there were several times last nite in eugene that young ivee pointed his fingers/hand upwards & his teammates did not deliver the rock...rabb told guys this as they left the court during timeouts but nobody is apparently listening to ivan & the shockster


ivan, i feel your pain, nobody cares about your problems more than me:headbang...i dunno maybe coach martin & the staff could arrange for the squad to visit today with an american sign language (asl) teacher


non verbal cues matter#

coach martin has offered kj hymes after watching him play this summer for the las vegas prospects & teammate troy brown jr...hymes now got offers from cal, virginia, oklahoma, usc & washington

kj is the best prospect from the state of arizona in terms of both basketball & academic upside, i'll be attending a st marys game in downtown phoenix this winter with taylor & her friends (maybe they'll even sit by me but maybe not) to check out the talented true student athlete

Shocky1;842630041 said:

---

cal is actively recruiting 6'9" 180 lbs kj hymes from st mary's high school in phoenix...coach martin watched kj several times this summer




hymes is a relentless rebounder & shotblocker, he will continue to fill out his lanky frame & would benefit in the future from coach christopher's world class s&c program...he currently plays on the wing with a nice shooting touch from the perimeter & it's expected he will further develop his back to the basket post game as he builds up his body

coach hufnagel is kj's lead recruiter for the bears

kj's dad kwame hymes sr played basketball for pepperdine in the mid 1990s & emphasizes both athletic & academic achievement...st mary's is an academically strong college preparatory school

kj already has multiple offers from high d1 programs & took an unofficial visit to arizona last october, it's not known if the donut boy of tucson told him about the wildcats highly acclaimed pool maintenance major that has an excellent placement rate for their grads

yeah, kj hymes would be a strong addition to cal's started at the bottom class (2018)

cal's top recruiting priority prospective student athlete jordan brown (the next ivan rabb) the #2 ranked player in the 2018 class got tv time on good morning sacramento & was also honored by the city of roseville for his role in leading team usa to the gold medal in zaragoza spain:bravo

"i love my city"
-jordan brown, true student athlete with a 3.5 gpa who loves his family, friends, community & living in nor cal (until he's physically & mentally ready for the nba)

yeah, jordan brown is the ideal leader for cal's started at the bottom class (2018)




the university of california, berkeley=#1 ranked public (#3 overall) university in the world (and a short drive for moms):gobears:

update: abu kigab's final 6 include cal, oregon, usc, ucla, illinois & tennessee, he's got an official visit to eugene scheduled for september 10th...kigab is not gonna return to findlay prep for his senior year

canadian 6'6" 200 lbs 2017 wing abu kigab from st catherine's ontario was in the haas saturday nite on an unofficial visit for cal's stormin' the floor victoay over arizona...yeah, coach martin has offered the oakland soldiers elite defender




kigab is currently playing for prolific prep in napa & is a teammate of key cal target ira lee, he's got offers from kansas, usc, oregon, minnesota & virginia tech among the schools pursuing the previously under the radar high motor student athlete

listen to abu articulate as a sophmore (a year ago) his passion for defending, self improvement & team goals
[video=youtube;7Eeklpo3-Lg][/video]

yeah, there are unconfirmed reports that drake is abu's brother or something...but make no mistake about it, kigab got better hair than drake

jemarl & juhwan favorite blasian hooper (50 year friendships)#:bravo

fat joe & remy ma wanna know if you can spot the one elite academic institution among troy brown jr's collegiate finalist logos?

troy got a 3.7 gpa, he gonna take an uber helicopter to the school that will help him stay all the way up & if you ask him where he live when basketball is done with him he's gonna point to the hills & tell you to go all the way up...nothing can stop him




go all the way up (with academic ambition)#:tree

taeshon cherry with the unofficial visit to berkeley today, i can't breathe when i think about him potentially on the floor in 2018 with jordan brown

Shocky1;842711133 said:

---

coach martin just offered 6'8" 205 lbs taeshon cherry top 35 player in the 2018 class from st augustine high school in san diego & the oakland soldiers, the 2 are texting almost every day




cherry is an elite athlete with a non stop motor & smooth stroke along with an advanced handle/passing skills for a 3/4...most importantly he's got mental toughness, a great attitude & is very coachable

taeshon got a good but not great 3.0 gpa, he can definitely work harder in the classroom, cherry is a bright young man with academic ambition

the staff is hoping to host taeshon & ideally his family too during early august for an unofficial visit in berkeley

[video=youtube;kUFIRu5jsQw][/video]

yeah, taeshon along with #2 ranked jordan brown would be the key foundations of cal's started at the bottom class (2018)

former cal pole vaulter allison stokke did not make the usa track team for the 2016 olympics in rio de janerio despite being a curvy brunette yoga female (with a flat stomach)

don't be a dumb azz (allison got a 4.0 gpa in high school & full ride at cal)#

update: per ryan silver the head coach for the earl watson elite (jemarl baker, juhwan harris-dyson & ira lee) miles norris a top 15 player in the 2018 class will unofficially visit cal, usc, ucla, oregon & san diego state later this summer/fall

the california golden bears staff with huf as the lead recruiter are the 1st major school to actively target miles norris, a 6'8" 180 lbs 2018 big wing from mater dei catholic in chula vista


miles got size 15 feet & is expected to grown a couple more inches...he is smooth with interior dunks, an accurate mid range game & 3 point shooting skills and most importantly, a very high basketball iq which is a coveted trait by the staff...defensively norris uses his elite length to close out on defenders

the gameplan right now is to get miles on campus for an unofficial visit in the very near future

let's do this#:gobears:

allison (to herself): where's shocky?...he said he would be here an hour ago so we could take an uber helicopter all the way up to yoga class

silence

allison: i dunno maybe he got lost, it's not that complicated, you just gotta point to the hills and go all the way up

this **** is getting live





run the game (in haas pavilion on november 11th, a night for the ages)#

what is the next step for the cal basketball program?

the one flaw of coach christopher's world class s&c program is the failure to incorporate dedicated yoga practices for all players (and coaches), it's no coincidence that the 2 most minted california golden bears jaylen brown & alan crabbe both got dedicated yoga practices

read the link below re: cal defensive end noah westerfield who credits yoga for getting his mental right...during coach martin's first 2 seasons in berkeley his teams have played like sorry broken down azz uptight bitches on the road away from haas pavilion (a perfect 18-0 last season at home)...yoga practices would help guys get their **** right, to be able to compete freely without stress/paralysis or fear of failure...a clear focused mind is a beautiful thing

cal basketball is never gonna achieve it's unlimited potential & current upward trajectory without yoga, the program is currently running parallel lines with epic success

+1 for Coach Christopher to incorporate/integrate yoga into his otherwise stellar program - If you haven't experienced it, it's like trying to tell a stranger about Rock & Roll

flying to new york, my rankings for the courses in the hamptons:

1) the national golf links of america: charles blair mcdonald masterpiece with 300+ oddly shaped bunkers starts with 2 sub 300 yard par 4s & finishes with an epic uphill par 5 overlooking the cliffs of the atlantic ocean, my favorite design in the world



2) friar's head: coore & crenshaw masterpiece with a perfect walkable routing that magically incorporates the property's sand dunes region


3) shinnecock hills: usga's us open site doesn't have any ocean views but does have the best 9th & 18th holes in golf with dramatic uphill par 4s jealously guarded by the stanford white iconic clubhouse


4) maidstone: venerable east hampton club recently faithfully restored by coore & crenshaw, emphasis upon fun vs difficulty


5: sebonack: modern design co authored by the odd couple: genius tom doak of the current minimalism movement & the untalented jack nicklaus of the outdated artificial housing development era...would've been better without jack's unnecessary emphasis upon over bunkering/championship golf

Why didn't I notice before when looking at that photograph; but Look at that family -- to a person, strong, healthy, bright, clear, happy, together (individually and collectively) and through the generations -- How many (or few) of us has even come in contact with a family like that?
