Hey Jeff:

Interesting timing on Solo and academics.
Grades would have come out a while ago, no?
Meanwhile, classes have just started, so it’s not like he failed any classroom stuff for this term. In other words, I don’t get it (timing).

Thanks.

This is terrible. We needed this guy the next two years to defend the PAC 12 title that we were to win this year! How did this happen with all of the tutorial help that these guys get? I mean, can you imagine M Jordan or D. Rose being ruled ineligible their sophomore or frosh years? It does NOT happen! Disappointing news. Disappointing.

Bad news for Solomon and the team. Hopefully he’ll find his academic bearings and return next year, but that doesn’t seem likely. Good luck, Richard, hope to see you back.

Glad to have Brandon returning. We’ll definitely need him tomorrow, and will be nice to see if Thurman and Bak can step up. Got seven tickets for tomorrow night for my fellow Cal alum brothers and four of our kids. Go Bears!! Rub the husky noses in the crap they’ve been laying on Cal football.

Usually Monty is better at weeding undisciplined kids out. I guess when you’re desperate for a big man, you can’t be so discriminating. I was so down on him early, just from his body language on the court, but I actually felt like he kind of turned it around after the injury. Sad situation all around.

Solomon just never really seemed that interested. All the “God Given” talent in the world doesn’t make a difference. Hopefully a blip but would not be surprised if he stops playing all together. Obviously wasn’t that important to him.

Too bad. Cal was moving forward to be really strong at the end of this year, and I had predicted two wins in the NCAA’s before this announcement. I still think it is possible to win one. Thurman just needs to step up.

What is really sad was is likely the last time Cal will have an excellent basketball team for a few years unless recruiting really turns around.

Rugby news flash: Bears are 4-0 and have outscored opponents 269-6 so far. Feel any better, Discdude?

Hey Jeff, is there any way you can start covering the rugby team? This is just too depressing.
