--------------------

Go Gaels: "Thanks, two in this class so far. Also a commitment from Global Academy point guard from down under. Quite a class. Hopefully Lewis wants to pair a couple of the Bay Area’s best in Moraga."

That's guard Mikey Lewis being referenced in the last sentence. Yes, Lewis would be smart to head to Randy Bennett Land.

--------------------

Nick Paniccia: "Had an amazing time at the UCSB basketball Elite Camp, thank you Coach Joe_Pasternack and the coaching staff for an amazing day."

The 6-foot-5 2024 Paniccia attends Bellarmine College Prep in San Jose.

--------------------

From the Pangos/Full Court Prep Lead Guard Workout: "One of Northern California’s top players from the Class of 2026, 6-3 Elias Obenyah, wrapped up a terrific spring and summer with a strong effort Saturday.

He’s a key reason that Richmond Salesian could go into the 2023-24 season as the top-ranked team up north."

and

Dinos Trigonis: "...You can add 6-3 Elias Obenyah (Salesian/Richmond CA) to that mix when you think of elite 2026 guards in CA. Super-skilled lead guard with terrific feel."

--------------------

CSU East Bay Men's Basketball: "Welcome to East Bay, Coach! (Tye Echevarria)"

What is his connection to Head Coach Bryan Rooney? And who has departed from the staff in Hayward?

--------------------

"Jerry West Still Isn't Totally Sure That's Him on the NBA Logo"

The powers to be certainly weren't going with Wilt. Plus, it had to be a Caucasian player. If West was a different person, he would be hiring a lawyer.
