I have a link to the whole presser if ya want it. Not sure if it is on here. He didn't hardly talk about Adou...that is how conference started and he just said he will be fine- assuming in context for game tomorrow.
In what way? They looked good and bad for moments in both games.
They don’t do that……..except when they they cleared Marvin Bagley with lightning speed .
I could see cal giving a 3-4 min segment just to see where he is
Sounds more like a strategy to put Dickerson on the foul line to me. I’d send someone straight at him every time, International game can be rough. With no experience with college games, Z is a sitting duck for refs. Self may be a vile cheating scumbag but he’s not stupid.
Not sure about that. This day and age, there is a strict protocol on concussions. Nothing anywhere I’ve seen lists where he stands in that protocol nor is that in any way appropriate to release to the public. He could be fine, but if he hasn’t been cleared by the medical staff for competition he will not be permitted to play nor does Cal play any role in that decision. Will be fine is not the phrase you listen for. Has been cleared….thats what you want to hear.
They need to hurry up and unleash big Z he will quickly become a fan favorite. This wait has been big Zzzzzz
I will never understand why it takes so long to get anything done with the NCAA. Whether it’s eligibility clearances or program investigations, the NCAA moves slower than a glacier. They say, well there are thousands of student athletes across all sports and it takes time to go through them all to validate eligibility. Bull*#%! They literally make billions of dollars in revenue each year. If they’re really that understaffed that it takes weeks/months to go through and rubber stamp some eligibility papers, then hire some more friggin employees and pick up the pace.
If he is available, you play him.
We need him to block shots, rebound, get some putbacks and lobs. Those are all instinctual skills that don't require knowing plays or having much team practice experience.

Yeah I meant more like Game practice, should have specified. No real game play even in the summer or exhibitions with this group.
That is probably right davekersey. At this late date, being cleared wouldn't necessarily be a good thing. With Thiero being back, that at least puts us back to where we started and everyone knows their roles. Throw in Z and everyone is trying to figure out where they fit on the fly against the #1 team in the nation. I think we're better off, for now at least, running with who is established.
Now, when Big Z has some time and a couple games under his belt, I'll take him in a New York minute!
You act like Cal is holding on to classified state secrets. It’s basketball. Kansas is already assuming Thiero plays. The cloak-and-dagger stuff is nonsense.
I'm old enough to remember way back when Cal assured us that Sharpe would play.
I'm aware. I'm just pretty skeptical when he talks about this stuff. I don't even think he does it intentionally all of the time. And things can change. My confidence is just low when he talks about stuff like this.
