coach martin has offered 7' 275 lbs tolu jacobs yaffa a raw athletic force of nature playing this summer for the west coast all stars aau team & will be attending capital christian school in sacramento this fall...yaffa's family moved from nigeria in 2014 & last year attended king's ridge christian high school in alpharetta, georgia
tolu got academic ambition & got interest from stanford (tim o'toole) & north carolina along with an offer from virginia..he is an ideal cal fit for reasons that extend far beyond playing basketball on a basketball court with a basketball
is yaffa just a selfish dumb azz baller that is inwardly focused?
"i really want to make money so i can help people in need...i might not have earthly things but i sure can put a big smile on ur face"
-tolu jacobs yaffa, the chairmanofdaboards
one of tolu's key mentors is joshua calbert (gotta love that name), a fast rising assistant coach at salesian high school (jabari bird) in richmond that also has a relationships with marcus lee...salesian's head coach is bill mellis (named state high school coach of the year in 2012), a former cal team manager back in the day
trust me if capital christian schedules woodcreek (jordan brown) this upcoming prep season, the shockster is gonna be in the house to check out the battling sophmores...they could become teammates in berkeley in a couple of years, their futures are unlimited both mentally & athletically

Dear Shocky
How are you?
I am fine.
Jordan Brown's 1st game of this season is this Saturday at 7:00 pm in the Nor Cal Tip Off Classic at Newark Memorial High School, do you think he's gonna be double teamed?
Best regards,
Coach Martin

bishop o'dowd's 6'8" freshmen (2019) raymond hawkins scored 9 points with 8 boards in his 1st high school game
lou richie told me he's the real deal, the potential to play at ivan rabb's level...like his efforts with young ivee, richie who is a true educator & a firm believer of his young men all becoming high character student athletes, is working overtime to provide hawkins with the necessary academic tutoring/mentoring to ensure a bright future for a young man from a challenging background
raymond hawkins, write the name down
in addition to raymond hawkins & 2018 flashy point guard elijah hardy, head coach/community leader lou richie also got 6'3" 170 lbs 2018 shooting guard naseem gaskin who is fluid & athletic with a moneyball free throw stroke...naseem's moms is 6'2" & he could grow into being an explosive wing

lou richie & richard midgley (both are close friends with theo robertson)=nor cal's finest (which is not the case for the dumb azz with the pointy euro trash shoes)

so what's the worst thing i ever did at cal?
this isn't gonna be a pretty story
yeah, i graduated with the gold phi beta kappa key from the haas biz school, etc. but that doesn't mean my unvarnished blind ambition didn't cause me to do stuff that was wrong
so i wrote a paper for bibliography 128, children's literature, and in rereading it felt it was a technically sound paper but that it lacked interest for the reader...so i totally fabricated & included the following opening paragraph:
"I must confess that I was made uneasy to see Anne Franks's The Diary of a Young Girl on the reading list for this class. Seeing the title on the list raised several burning questions in my mind. Why had I never read this famous book? Why had my father (after a heated and lengthy debate with my mother behind closed doors) removed this work off my bookshelf as a child? It seemed to me that the answers to these questions were somehow linked to my now deceased grandfather. Although my parents never talk about him, I remembered from various bits of information pieced together that Grandpa was a figure of dubious distinction in Hitler's brass during WWII. So I was forced to think. Why were my parents, particularly my father, so reluctant to talk about my grandfather? Could the answers to my grandfather's cloudy role in Germany during WWII be found in The Diary of a Young Girl which was so mysteriously taken off my bookshelf as a child?''
and i also rewrote the following closing paragraph:
"But despite her difficult and sometimes cruel life, Anne Frank did not feel sorry for herself and she never gave up. This is a worthwhile message for both adults and children alike. All in all, The Diary of a Young Girl is a sensitive, well written, and compelling self-portrait of a brave and spirited young girl, that at least for me, will always hold a special place on my bookshelf."
absolutely none of this is true...although i have a german last name, nobody in my family has ever had any connections with any racist groups...i grew up in a culturally mixed family that celebrates individuality & diversity, i'm a ******* mutt...my dad's sister met her jewish husband while they both were at cal
so what did my teachers say in grading the paper?
the professor: "This a fine review, not only perceptive in its commentary but in itself very well written. I hope you will keep on writing, perhaps professionally? A+"
the teaching assistant: "Your paper was very perceptive and moving because the book had a great impact on you. Though you did not generalize about non-fiction, you approached this particular book in a sensitive and understanding way. Thank you for sharing this highly personal and emotional reaction-it was very important for me personally as an Isreali jew, well versed in the literature of the holocaust, to read your reaction to the subject. The book has made you think, grow up, seek further information, and if it has instilled in you the determination not to let the horrible and shameful history repeat itself, then it has served the purpose Anne's father had when he published her diary. A+"
i'm a flawed person but i know i need to set the record straight even if it means that i'm gonna flunk the class so i go to the ta's office hours
i walk in the door & i'm blown away...she (mid to late 20s) is the cutest girl on earth (petite & curvy brunette yoga female with sparkling eyes & a dazzling smile) & we talk/laugh for about an hour about our favorite authors, recent concerts & the personalities of dogs...but i never tell her my paper is full of ****, i can't stand the thought of her hating me so quickly
so i ask her if she would like to go bike riding with me at muir woods & stinson beach that weekend (with the idea that i would tell her the truth & also see her in a bikini) & she tells me she would love to go out with me but that the university code of professional standards does not allow teachers to date students
i don't give up that easily so i suggest we bring our dogs, surely there can be no policy against our dogs hanging out together, right?
she looks at me with sad eyes & tells me "this isn't going to happen, it can't happen" and we say our goodbyes
fast forward to this summer & i take my daughters shay & taylor to anne frank's house in amsterdam...i write & leave a note to both anne frank & the teacher's assistant apologizing for my actions
don't be a dumb azz#

6'9" 210 lbs with a 7'2" wingspan 5 star kenny wooten has decided to enroll in college next semester, his finalists are cal, kansas, oregon, usc & arizona
wooten was a cal lean at the end of august but now he's probably gonna sign with the jayhawks unless he decides that his family participating in his college experience on gamedays in berkeley & the education of the #1 ranked public (#3 overall) university in the world is a big part of his values
some guys embrace the academic challenge of cal & some guys just wanna play basketball on a basketball court with a basketball, who are you kenny?...are you gonna take life's hurdles straight on or are you gonna try to go around them?

the cal's monster class is awarding the worst dad of the year award to stephen thompson sr, an assistant coach at oregon state
despite both of his sons rocking 4.0 gpas as mentally limitless true student athletes with academic ambition, he's pressured his son ethan (actionable stanford offer) to just commit to the beavers after railroading his other son stephen jr (actionable cal offer) to corvallis last year
that's just messed up, dad's career is more important than encouraging his sons to have unlimited future opportunities in life as a result of cal & stanford educations

check out the link to the game recaps...raymond hawkins grew up with a challenging background & is an explosive big with an elite upside...elijah hardy with 29 points & naseem gaskin with 21 points & 7 boards along with intense d, both elijah & naseem are gym rats, they love the game of basketball...guys who don't got a passion for the game eventually plateau & stop improving, that's not gonna be case with anybody coached up by lou richie
marco, is there any chance cal could host the nor cal tip off classic at haas pavilion in the future?

congrats to my man scott thom being named the head basketball coach at the college of marin...scott was the hard working s&c coach during the mike montgomery era & then the s&c coach at washington state under ernie kent (who's probably gonna be fired after this season)...looking forward to hopefully hosting thom at haas pavilion this season
basketball coaching is a crazy azz biz (kinda like show biz) so it's great to see guys like scott (and hopefully marcus green & mitch elkins in the future), richard midgley & theo robertson have opportunities to pursue their unique dreams
what are my dream in life?...i dunno probably have them dumb azz golden bears make entry lob passes to young ivee, kam & the king this season would be a really good ******* start
