  • Best prep program that also accels at academics

    here’s how they ranked the Sac-Joaquin area teams basketball wise

    Besides Jesuit, I’d guess the suburb schools (Elk Grove, Rockiln) would have decent academics

    they start Monday, I believe, but I didn’t see time/location.
  • MBB Off-season 2022
    I heard a radio interview yesterday with Houston’s Kelvin Sampson, who had 3 transfers on his elite 8 team (one from Bakersfield), two of whom they had recruited heavily out of high school. They were saying there are over 1000 names in the portal. Unless you have a connection, seems like finding a good landing spot is challenging

    Do any others get nervous when they see a new post in this thread?

    McGill didn't see much of the court the last couple weeks of the season, but that one is a bit of a surprise
  • MBB Off-season 2022
    if you google 'transfers in sweet 16', there are lots and lots of articles about key players who are transfers. Iowa State has 7 on their roster (i think they had a big exodus after a 2-22 season), Texas Tech has 8. Miami has 3, but one of them (Charlie Moore) is on his 4th school (DePaul, Kansas Cal).

    Locally, USF has 7. With their coach leaving, it will be interesting who stays/goes!

    Darius is a really good guy. Happy for them
  • MBB Off-season 2022
    I’m not sure why I was fearing this at the end of the season. 7th place finish, small crowds……just felt that with SO many transfers out there, that this might be tempting to him.

    In all fairness, a lot of guys dominated 3-win Oregon State!

    But it’s a big blow. Not sure he can start at that next level, but we’ll see. Hate to see him make an at-best lateral move like Squire.
  • Contingency plan for smoke?

    that 51 USF team he played on has to be in the top 5 most talented teams ever. 3 NFL hall of famers of that team! St. Clair, Ollie Matson, Dick Stanfel and Antioch's own Gino Marchetti. I believe 4 others on that team played in the NFL. crazy

    I’m not sure what other academic requirements for admission(besides undergrad 3.0) into UC grad programs, but I suspect he doesn’t meet them - hence the reason for another opportunity. Much harder to qualify for grad admission than undergrad

    this period is their 'winter' conditioning time. Spring ball runs April 3-23

    I had heard he’d be here spring quarter, so in time for spring ball starting in April
  • Andre Allen joins coaching staff
    ↪Riveraggie
    seems like he could be a real mentor to Cody as well as the young receivers
  • Contingency plan for smoke?
    ↪agalum
    I think when we played in Reno, we were looking at spots like Monterrey Pennisula College. That wouldn’t have been viable in 2020. Might have to give up a home game

    most come byway of some small academies that seem to specialize in producing athletes
  • Men's 2022 Big West Basketball Tournament March 8-12
    Another interesting foster is Saint Peter’s who knocked off Kentucky. 5 players from Africa. I just heard someone on the radio talking about Africa as the next recruiting hotbed since the NBA has started a serious developmental program. Again, another area Private schools can cash in more easily than public

    USF is in the tournament for the first time since 1998; they have 7 transfers (not counting JC players). I think a lot of middle majors, especially private schools, will follow that model.
  • Andre Allen joins coaching staff
    Sounds like a great pickup.
