tom, you should take this sage advice here...honestly i think you're sexually confused with all your continued images/obsession with men & there's nothing wrong with that, we're not here to judge

Oh wait.
Wrong graphic.
This is apparently the slide that expresses the spirit of our ever-so-humble and considerate host:

Berkeley is progressive.
Berkeley is free speech.
Berkeley is accepting of others however they are.
Right?

In honor of that gay, BI, trans, whatever recruit out there that might be attracted to flabby, red-haired, non-yoga weirdos, I'm doing it for him, her, it.

See, like, you seem to think that posting women in sex-suggested positions is good for recruiting, as the typical 16 year old who surfs these sites is likely to re-visit a progressive recruiting site rather than a grumpy-old-men site (because you've told me years ago that was your strategy)... I'm just looking out for that one Diamond in the buff stud who defies your assumption. And we know they're out there, just look at your favorite school, Stanford.

Besides, everyone loves a Jerry Springer sideshow now and then, right?

I'm just following your lead, my friend.

why does fallon got a higher vertical jump at bondi beach than our elite world class s&c coach?

anyways happy birthday to cal's relentlessly working nicodemus christopher

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

and yeah cal is the #1 ranked public (#3 overall) university in the world (that will set you up for life if you're mentally limitless with academic ambition) in the beautiful san francisco bay area with a family 1st/community service focused basketball program that needs you at the 4/5 in the future

And you know, we gotta get these kids to think. College is about challenging conventional norms and patterns of thinking.
You represent the standard. Boorrrriiiinnnngggg!

What better way to inspire our recruits than to actually show them how the educated man sees things.
You're educated, aren't you? And I don't just mean in the standard obvious ways - you can go beyond that, right? Cause you're multiple!!!

tom, why don't you just start your own recruiting thread (maybe you could call it cal's chunky monkey class) directed at white middle aged bi curious men that don't got season tixs (like you)?

Try the new Trader Joes Premium Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. Rumour has it,it is made by Double Rainbow. Dark chocolate Chips. A great product to have on hand while watching Cal dispose if the Minehune.

Of course when you get to memorial Stadium you can become one of the Pepsi Generation and pay $5 for a shitty Klondike bar ...To quote the head of Cal dining as to why there are no more its its,"Our supplier does not have them on their list anymore"

Coke is the real thing. Rumour has it the beer may change to Pabst if they will give to to Cal Dining for free.

Not that there's anything wrong with that....

brandon williams along with a couple of his teammates are at cal's elite weekend camp which is including court time, a q&a session with current bears & insights from coach martin re: the type of players he is seeking to recruit/target and also real talk re: that being a student at cal is not easy & most importantly full disclosure that the shockster is basically in charge of cal basketball recruiting

brandon also got to visit again with t-wall in person, he got his digits for future conversations

Shocky1;842609435 said:

---

the bears staff is actively recruiting 6'1" 155 lbs brandon williams the top ranked pg on the west coast & a top 25 player in the 2018 class from crespi carmelite high school & the supreme elite aau team



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 basketball program scored a perfect 1000 on the most recent apr (academic progress report) which is tracked by the ncca

cal is not easy, it's the #1 ranked public (#3 overall) university in the world but if you got academic ambition & listen to your coaches, teammates & experienced/compassionate academic support team you can balance both basketball & schoolwork and ultimately leave berkeley with a diploma that will open doors for the rest of your life

"i am happy for our program and our student athletes...i would like to thank mike williams and our academic support team including kasarah sotudeh, ed wright & jennifer hunter for their tremendous support and help in putting our players in the right position to attain these results...our players take a lot of pride in their academic achievement and they understand the effort it takes to be successful student athletes on and off the court"

trevin knell currently on an unofficial visit in berkeley & participated in cal's elite camp, he & his dad will visit with the cal staff on monday

Shocky1;842713732 said:

---

coach martin has offered late emerging elite shooter 6'4" 165 lbs trevin knell of of wood cross high school & the utah prospects



trevin blew up in his last 2 aau tournaments this summer knocking down an unreal 18-39 (46.2%) 3 pointers at the gauntlet series finale & then 18-37 (48.6%) at the gauntlet series championship after sharpshooting 45.2% of 3 pointers during his junior season at wood cross...knell has got a disciplined work ethic practicing at least 500 (upwards to a 1000) 3 pointers a day & would benefit tremendously from coach christopher's rigorous (but fun) s&c program, he's too skinny right now

trevin is a mormon & is gonna take a 2 year mission somewhere in the world (location to be determined) after high school & then enrolling in college in 2019 as a stronger & wiser well traveled/experienced young man...berkeley has got a significant lds community

knell is not a dumb azz, he's got a 4.0 gpa throughout high school and will take ap english & honors math as a senior, his goal is be academic all state in utah as a senior...he's likely gonna make a 50 year decision that sets him & his family up for life & not settle for an academically mediocre school like utah (which is also actively recruiting him, he will meet with their staff in 2 weeks) which is 30 minutes away

trevin is gonna trip unofficially to cal august 28th (theo john will be making an official visit at that time) & if that visit goes well will return for an official visit before his targeted decision date in october

yeah berkeley is gonna be midnight city if the true student athltete trevin knell commits as a 2019 enrolle to the #1 public (#3 overall) university in the world, his shooting stroke is pure

the cal staff offered bouncy 6'9" 185 lbs 2018 warren washington from escondido high school earlier this summer & warren attended cal's elite camp this weekend while doing the hang with coach martin & coach webster (who started scouting warren as a freshman on the aau circuit)




yeah warren got good hair, coach martin & coach webster not so much

washington is a stretch 4 that could potentially slide at times to the 3 creating major offensive mismatches that can knock down 3 pointers, pass the ball to cutters with vision, block shots/rebound in the paint & run the court...he would benefit tremendously from coach christopher's world class (and fun) s&c program, gaining good weight & strength is a major priority for him to develop along the lines of his idol current golden state warrior kevin durant

warren is a mature true student athlete that enjoys his world history & english classes, he is not a dumb azz...washington has told ryan gorcey that he got a 3.5 gpa

http://www.usnews.com/education/best-global-universities/rankings

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 favorite headhunter of elite talent, 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 like arizona or oregon & 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#

alec hickman & the cal basketball program are heading in different directions, he's now a decommit from the bears & will open up his recruitment

this is in the best interests of all parties, alec needs to find/select a school that best fits his basketball & academic profile, berkeley isn't for everyone

concordtom;842708784 said:

---

But I thought you were "slow-playing" Hickman.
So, which is it? Are you wanting him here or not?

---

Shocky1;842681066 said:

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



update: 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

summer update: alec hickman is showing signs of improvement this summer both in becoming more of a vocal leader & knocking down 3 pointers (yesterday's 5 3 pointers reflects his continued improvement)...he is by all accounts an unselfish team player without a sense of entitlement (like j mat) that is very coachable

my concerns with hickman pertain to his academics (why risk recruiting a prospective student athlete that is not a potential future superstar with a gpa that is marginal for cal admissions, why not recruit 4.0 gpa guys like ernie sears to fill out the roster?), his body type (he's 6'4" & still appears to be under 170 lbs, he is physically pushed around at the aau level) & his basketball skills (he's not quick enough to compete in the pac 12, his handle is average & his release point on 3 pointers is too low, it will be blocked at the high d1 level)

alec has not firmed up a 2017 prep school yet & it will be interesting to see if there are any new developments in his recruitment particularly with the 2017 class already including jemarl baker & juhwan harris-dyson

i wish alec hickman nothing but the best

The first clue was the best.
He said he was so glad to be "apart of" the Cal family.
That is quite a different thing from "a part of ..."
