Still, This is the 7th year in a row Arizona has recruited a top 7 class so it's not like they aren't ridiculously talented every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basketball would be pretty shocking. Enfield is a good coach, but hard to make up the talent gap that some teams ( like Arizona ) have over them at the moment.

This team will be even more talented than the Henry Bibby coached team that beat Durant and Texas and went to the sweet 16. Quite possibly their most talented team ever.

All Hail Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 Cal basketball -- left for dead by many including myself -- just received commitments from two top 100 players in the 2018 class in the past 24 hours. One of them was from Texas and had offers from Baylor, Oklahoma, Okie Lite, TAMU, Oregon, and several others. Not sure how we beat out those teams for a Texas kid.

PapaG Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Brian Bowen picks Louisville over Oregon, DePaul, Arizona. Hard to argue with that decision. Close to home, great coach, great program, and he gets to be the primary scorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAC MAN Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Don't know if already posted but dude is a monster for the 2018 class. USC appears to be in the running with Duke for Marvin Bagley III's services. https://www.sbnation.com/college-basketball/2017/7/14/15972042/marvin-bagley-iii-recruiting-duke-usc-reclassify-nba-draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Hail Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 I doubt the rumor about him reclassifying is true. If it is, USC has to be a top 4 team in the nation. With Bagley almost assuredly not going to UCLA, this means that Cal will have to work harder than ever to keep Brown away from the Bruins. From what I'm hearing, Cal is in a great spot. Seems like an Ivan Rabb situation in that the kid wants to stay local and his parents want him to as well. His dad has flight anxiety issues and I hear that will play a role.

MrBug708 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 UCLA is struggling pretty mightily recruiting for 2018 The Bagley rumor has been around for a little bit. I wonder how much of a factor SC will be if he moves to Arizona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBug708 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Bagley is on his OV to UCLA. There isn't a sense that they are going to land him though. Brown isn't likely an option even though they are his list. Cal and St. John's are thought to be the leader. Ucla has some deadweight on the coaching staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ucla has some deadweight on the coaching staff Despite the article from Zag, there is zero chance that Brown ends up at St Johns or any east coast or mid west school. There is a reason he only has one offer east of the Rockies. His dad said that article was a joke and that he was quoted out of context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBug708 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 The lead recruiter for St. Johns is Greg St Jean whose dad Garry was an NBA coach for years, a former Warriors GM and is on the tv staff for the Warriors now in the Bay Area. Greg grew up in the Bay Area so he has lots of ties there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg grew up in the Bay Area so he has lots of ties there. Yes, I understand the ties, the St. Jeans have very strong Bay Area ties as does Mullin and Richmond but that still doesn't change the fact that Dion Brown has been telling recruiters for years that there is no way his son is playing far from home. This is why he has no offers from anyone other than St Johns on the East Coast, Mid West, South or Southwest. He has flight anxiety and Dion/Jordan are as close as a father/son can be. I very much doubt he ends up there. Also, you hardly need Bay Area ties to steal Bay Area recruits. Arizona has been doing it for years as has Oregon with little-to-no Bay Area ties. I think Arizona, UCLA and Cal are most likely destinations for Brown with Cal being the most likely at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBug708 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Bagley picks Duke over USC and UCLA. UCLA is in a pretty precarious position for future big men recruiting. Jordon Brown got the impression that UCLA wanted Bagley more and did a poor job co-recruiting him and is at best, a distant third in that recruitment. Bad things going on at UCLA right now. Alford is using UCLA to get into top 5's, which he should, but he does not have the charisma or reputation to get much more than that. He really needs to focus on strictly west coast kids and not going chasing top 20 kids all over the country unless there is a pre-existing relationship.

MrBug708 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Jordan Brown is transferring to Prolific Prep. Woodcreek was never going to be good exposure for Brown and the schedule he plays isn't challenging so it's probably a good move. I still don't know UCLA hasn't gone harder after him. The latest recruiting update sounds promising, but Alford's inability to keep kids warm while recruiting other kids is going to be a death blow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, he's a solid player with a lot of potential from a great AAU program. I wonder how this will affect Utah's recruitment of Warren Washington. They were the presumed leaders for a long time but I've heard that is no longer the case as of last week. Also, Bryan Penn-Johnson is probably heading to Utah. He would be a terrific get for the Utes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
