Spencer Freedman of Mater Dei?

2018 prospect at the 1, dad is a cal grad but probably a harvard lean to tommy amaker

This strikes me as a major good idea. A lot of PG Skill. Comfortable either slashing, or shooting the 3, and certainly passing. Major chemistry with Sueing -- I seem to recall however that, with a super-high GPA, he wants to go to (and may have been offered by) Harvard.

Any shot at MJ Walker? He seemed to have expressed interest in possibly coming out west.

Freedman is a 2018 recruit. Harvard (and Ivy League in general) does not offer athletic scholarship if that works in our favor.

Naw but they get financial aide for their athletes

I believe I just read that Spencer Freedman is one of the first offers made by Mike Hopkins Washington's new coach.

Isn't Hopkins a Mater Dei High School alum?

mj walker recruitment was part of martin's midwest next job recruiting strategy

the deal maker#

dominic proctor will be heading to miami, the family could not wait for cal (did not receive any return phone calls/texts from the staff despite multiple attempts seeking information) & north carolina any longer

dom is tight with kj hymes (who will play for the prospects this summer) & the family is close to the chase jeter family too, proctor is very well regarded by the head coaches of bishop gorman & the las vegas prospects (coached by troy brown sr) as a high character true student athlete

not communicating with the proctor family & not tagging him as a preferred walk on (which martin had told him he would do, martin basically lied to him) is not gonna help cal recruit las vegas guys in the future, they all talk

yeah dom is a mutt to like me of mixed descent, moms is latina & dad is black

family friend laura (very successful medical professional high end talent recruiter based out of north scottsdale, originally from st louis) texted me before last nite's game telling me that i should meet one of her good friend's dad & son who are very interested in the cal basketball program

walking back to my seats at halftime with 2 water bottles for me & taylor i bumped into mike proctor & his son dominic...dom is a 6'6" 180 lbs 2/3 at national powerhouse bishop gorman high school in las vegas (previously attended st louis country day) and the las vegas prospects...dom is a 2017 targeted preferred walk on prospect for the cal staff...the bears are gonna lose a lot at the 3 next year with the bird man's graduation


dom is currently awaiting word from the cal admission's office

this will likely be a cal vs acc preferred walk on recruiting battle although other high academic schools are also in the mix

regardless of the family's decision, gotta wish dominic proctor nothing but the best on a go forward basis, he's a high character young man

coach wyking is actively recruiting duke transfer 6'10" 230 lbs chase jeter, he got a 7'1.5 wingspan & a 9'1.25 standing reach

jeter is from bishop gorman high school & played for the las vegas prospects, he is a former top 10 player in the 2015 class (along with ivan rabb & jaylen brown) & a former mcdonalds all american

chase is not a dumb azz, he got a 3.86 gpa in high school with an interest in political science...berkeley would make sense from a playing time perspective as marcus, sam & the king will all be seniors as jeter sits out next season & then he would be an impact starter for the bears in 2018

It was a mistake not to hire Dennis Gates three years ago.

It is a mistake not to hire Dennis Gates now.

dennis, it was a mistake for you to be unprepared for your telephone interview this time & not even know the names of the guys on the roster, it was apparent that you did not do any homework for a pac 12 head coach basketball interview

it was a mistake for you to then tell jon wheeler that the selection committee was incompetent

you graduated in 3 years from cal, you know better than that

jemarl baker should not be allowed to transfer to any pac 12 school as part of cal's releasing him from his signed letter of intent

he is being advised by those with an agenda, not his 50 year best interests as a well educated true student athlete with unlimited opportunities outside of basketball

baker is gonna be a 4 year player, there's no reason for the bears to play against him 10-12 times during that period

Agree because I think its probably Ucla thats trying to steal him.

He'll be at $c next year lighting it up. Cal most likely will roll over...

I agree, Shocky, but is that legally possible? If he's released, he's released. He can promise anything, but what's to hold him to it?

Since he's local a hardship waiver might even be possible.

Because, in the end, it should be about the kids. I know it costs us W's because other schools do not see it this way but ask yourself - is it right.

harvard's tommy amaker is one of the finalists for the georgetown head coach position with the hoyas recent firing of john thompson jr, other candidates include former grad patrick ewing & rhode island's dan hurley

the cal basketball head coach selection committee (mike williams, ashwin puri, jay john & david secor) spent a lot of time evaluating randy bennett & eric musselman, neither one of them would've been a good cal fit for a variety of reasons

bennett has a reputation for shady recruiting thru the years & is currently on probation, any approval of him would've required extra steps in the approval process because bennett's is still on probation for past violations of one of his assistant coachs

as musselman went further in the interview process he started to question if he could actually win at cal, he's never recruited 3.0+ gpa true student athletes in his entire career, his self awareness of the unique admissions challenges resulted in him using the cal telephone & in person interview as leverage to get a much better deal in reno with casino money

dennis gates was both arrogant & unprepared in his telephone interview with the selection committee, he did not do his homework & did not even know who was on the cal basketball roster...gates was asked hypothetical questions regarding how he would handle certain situations as a head coach that he could not answer because of his lack of preparation for the interview

joe pasternack got a phone interview but did not interview in person...despite support from many former players including ryan anderson a dissenting letter from solomon hughes hurt his candidacy

russ turner impressed a lot of people & had the full endorsement of mike montgomery

despite all the incorrect reports & speculation in the white centric mainstream media that tries to shut out unconventional voices like the monster, the only person who was offered the head coaching position other than coach wyking was harvard's tommy amaker

So, Tommy Amaker was offered the Cal head coaching position and turned it down?

jemarl baker has been granted a full unconditional release by coach wyking...this decision was based upon allowing jemarl to consider all his options (including cal) & also maintain good relationships with the influential ryan silver of the earl watson elite

cal's monster class exclusive update:

this morning's press conference will not include public announcements of the 3 assistant coaches

coach tim o'toole staying in berkeley may be announced but there are logistical/negotiations with the other 2 fire breathing high impact recruiting assistant coaches that will require a little more time before their names can be publicly announced
