    OT: Suggestions needed on Palo Alto and Pomona

    Pomona? I assume your younger son is interested in Pomona College which, along with Claremont McKenna, Harvey Mudd, etc, is one of the Claremont Colleges. That's located in Claremont (just a few miles from Pomona), which has a nice little section called Claremont Village with some nice...

    Epic OT: Most famous person you ever spoke with?

    Oh yeah, The Body was another one that worked out at the same gym once in a while. Hogan was always joking around while Putski was very serious, and didn't say much. The Somoans came in on occasion. I met the Barbarian twins when I went to URI for a couple years. They were nuts.

    sports heroes growing up

    Growing up in the late 60's, early 70's my sports heroes were: Kareem Abdul Jabbar (Bucks) Bobby Hull (Blackhawks) Henry Aaron (Braves) Roman Gabriel, Deacon Jones, and Jack Snow (Rams) I hated all local pro teams (i.e., Boston and NY) teams and still cheer for the same 4 professional teams.

    SF Vance Jackson (Signed LOI on 11/11)

    FYI: St John Bosco (his old school) isn't in Pasadena. It's in Bellflower (~30 miles from Pasadena). So, maybe it's even closer to you than Pasadena. The only Trinity league school that isn't in the OC. However, his high school for his freshman year was LaSalle, which is in Pasadena. He...

    Who would you pick?

    Drummond - 2 Villanueva - 1 Gay - 3 Gordon - 4 Walker - 5 size-check ball handling-check shooting-check scoring inside-check scoring outside-check rebounding-just ok defense-eh, we'll just outscore other teams. As mentioned: Drummond for $2 is a steal

    OT: Rick Pitino on UL's Shaqquan Aaron

    That is very true for a large proportion of kids from SoCal in particular. They learn early that regardless of how much work they put in, there is always a top level team willing to take them (too many teams and coaches trying to make a name for themselves). So, they jump from one AAU/club...

    Recruiting Update?

    Marcus is a very interesting player and I'm pleased we are recruiting him. A little personal back story: My son played for a short time on the same team as Marcus back in the 7th grade (Quickshot) and was also trained by Marcus' father (Marcus Sr.) in Pasadena, CA (where his Dad lives). So, I...

    2014 Recruits - Stat Tracker

    Yeah, it is a bit confusing. There are two Mater Dei's in So Cal. St John Bosco (DHam) played & beat Mater Dei Catholic from Chula Vista (San Diego County) in the Division 2 state playoffs (a game SJB should win 10/10 times) on Tuesday night. The "real" Mater Dei (Stanley Johnson, Rex...

    2014 Recruits - Stat Tracker

    There are a few here in the CIF-Southern Section. We had a female ref for about 4 games this season (total of 27 games). A couple were pretty good refs (the highest possible compliment for a ref...lol), some weren't, just like the male refs.

    DHam hits another game winning 3 tonight

    After seeing SJB play a couple of times early this season, I came away with a couple of thoughts: 1) Hamilton is the best player on the team 2) Dorsey seemed to have hit a plateau (he wasn't hitting any threes when I watched at the Pacific Shores Tournament). I would argue he is a volume...
