“True, we [lawyers] build no bridges. We raise no towers. We construct no engines. We paint no pictures - unless as amateurs for our own principal amusement. There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”

I'm responding to posters who sanctimoniously were saying they cared more about the basketball commitment. The fact is, what was going on in football recruiting and basketball recruiting were two different things. Most of us here recognize basketball's special place. But one three star verbal commit isn't the same thing as signing your whole verbally committed class, which is the best football class ever.
One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike -- and yet it is the most precious thing we have.
--Albert Einstein
The fact that life evolved out of nearly nothing, some 10 billion years after the universe evolved out of literally nothing, is a fact so staggering that I would be mad to attempt words to do it justice.

In the last couple of days, we have offered Mark Smith from Edwardsville, IL. True to form, the Cal Bears offered him almost immediately after.
Also appears that we are still in the running for the big Aussie Jacob Epperson. Perhaps Bogut can give him a call on behalf of the program.
“It only ends once. Anything that happens before that is just progress.”
Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
I am guessing class of 2017?

Just watched a video of Smith -- I like him. Tough. Can shoot. Crafty. Though, the video does not show much of his ability to distribute.

Emmanuel Akot is taking his official visit for the Cal game. Sounds like he loved his visit to U of A. I hope I'm wrong but I get the feeling we're 2nd place.

I must put a stop to this nonsense. Isn't Akot a 2018 kid? You are using the wrong thread. You will be drawn and quartered!
