Big News: Richard Solomon's basketball season is over, he has been ruled academically ineligible. #Cal
— John Breech (@johnbreech) January 18, 2012
Coach Montgomery in a statement, "Academics are a priority, we hope that Richard can get his grades right, & rejoin the team, next year."
— John Breech (@johnbreech) January 18, 2012
Solomon out means that Cal will have to rely on a big man rotation of Harper Kamp, David Kravish, Robert Thurman and Bak Bak the rest of the season. Only Thurman is a true center, which means Kamp and Kravish will have to be relied on more heavily than ever. They're warriors, but they're going to wear down now, just like every Monty team with a short rotation has done the past three years.
This is a real disappointment. Solomon was needed for Cal, and his absence is a huge loss, particularly against Pac-12 teams with true centers. His rebounding on both sides of the court, his ability to get to the free throw line, his improved defense, all of this made us a dynamo team that could have really made us a tough team to go against. We're still tough (we've proven we can play without him), but it's going to be hard to expect consistent effort from our team game in, game out. It'll tax every one of our starting players.
Here's hoping Jorge, Allen, Justin, Harper and David use this as a rallying cry. And here's hoping some of our bench players can step up and meet the challenge, because we need all of them now.
The good news? We can still win the Pac-12. It's just going to get a lot tougher.

Sigh
Richard seems like a good kid, and I hope he gets it together. Much more important than basketball, a Cal education is a terrible thing to waste.
On the court…prior to this I thought we were a decent favorite to win the conference, and to make the tournament. I still think both of those things are more likely than not, but the odds just decreased dramatically. I hope the team can rally.

I think we ought to employ our Cal mockery skills to the fullest and go all-out to embarrass and mock To$h and the Huskies at the football game in November. Make up some clever chants, maybe have someone stand right behind him and toss a bunch of dollar bills in the air and photobomb him, maybe make a large cardboard boat to pass around. Perhaps mocking signs if we can get away with it.

I think we should start now by creating the perfect fake recruit (youtube videos, place articles with espn.com, and get him on any recruiter/scout list). Then, we record the calls and in-house visits (we’ll hire an actor) to get all the bullshit he says to recruits and play the video/audio recordings on the new big screen at halftime.

that's quite disappointing
only saving grace is that the Pac-12 is so bad this year, we still have a shot of winning it without Dick Solo
Thurman has shown some sign of being competent in league play, but we still really need Bak Bak to step it up, not sure if that’s possible to expect improvement in season.

If you had a shred of integrity, you would go back and rec the posts which made this joke before you. But no, you are obviously one of those people who thinks that anything and everything is justified, as long as it puts more spite recs in your pocket. “It’s just a way to get spite recs” is the excuse that justifies anything. I have been practicing law for almost 30 years, so I am painfully aware that there are lots of people who lack a spite rec compass. But I am also aware that there are many people who try to obtain spite recs ethically and decently. It’s sad that you are not one of them.

Wearing Down, Substantially Weaker without Solomon.
Well, let’s play the games and see. With Kamp, it is hard to argue that he may not be capable of more minutes, given his knees. Extra minutes will be hard on him.
With Kravish, who knows? He looks pretty energetic to me. Also, he is improving while learning on the job. He may be better toward the end of the season.
Also, we shall find out more about the other 3—Bak, Thurman, and Behrens. There may be pleasant surprises. Certainly if you are pretty sure that you are going to play some substantial minutes, you are more apt to be relaxed and to do your best. Fear of a quick hook was the previous state of all 3, but that may change now and may facilitate some development, from all 3 or from one or more of them.
This is not to sugarcoat the loss of Solomon, but let’s save the gnashing of the teeth for later, if ever.
When will our quota of bad news be hit? Are we going to stuff all the bad news for the year into this one week?

by Avinash Kunnath on Jan 18, 2012 3:45 PM PST reply actions
at this point
If Solomon won’t play because he is academically ineligible, i dont mind him transferring.
He’s part of a legacy left by Am’ra and part of the Cal family, so I’d like to see him overcome his troubles, succeed in the classroom, and leave here with a Cal degree.
Of course, if he feels he’d rather be elsewhere then I wish him well, but I never like to see this happen to a kid.
yeah, that’s how i should have felt and what i should have said.
but after these courses of events, i think i’ve lost any feeling.
It has been a disappointing week to be a Cal fan, but these things tend to look a lot worse at first blush than they turn out to be in the long run. Especially when it feels like an avalanche, one after the other.
If Richard gets back on the right track, it’s good for him and it’s good for the basketball team. Presumably he will have matured by the fall, and an upperclassman who has been through adversity, overcome it, and is back on the court can only be a positive for the whole team. Not to mention our front court prospects going into next year look terrible without him.
If he leaves then it seems a lot like he’s taking the easy way out, which in my experience is never a good way to grow from adversity.
I don’t know all the circumstances, and like I said, if he doesn’t want to be here I wish him well. But I still hope there’s a happy ending for him at Cal.
But it’s all about him being willing to put in the effort to do the academic work. If he wants to do that, then I’m sure we would all be supportive. But he’s got to make that choice.
CGB: The Strangest Blog
Absolutely, and ultimately it’s about his choices…and whether he’s able to grow up, be accountable, and get himself out of this.
But I get way too obsessive about basketball, and I didn’t want my only reaction to be about how this affects my enjoyment of a basketball season between the lines. There’s a young man’s future at stake here — I’ll move on to the next sport as soon as we play our last game.
foolish
that would be foolish. it’s not like solomon is projected to go to the next level. he should stick it out, focus on his academics and try to get his grades up so he can get a degree from cal. just do the hard work, sacrifice bball if you have to.

I agree that there’s NBA raw material there. I don’t know about “great chance,” but it’s certainly not impossible. Another reason it would be a shame if he left is he (and we) would never see how his talent would develop with a few more years under Monty.
Physically, he has the athleticism. The skillset’s gonna have to come along some, which is a definite possibility, but also something you can say about a lot of big men out there.

1st question
How has the season gone so far. What do you need to work on?
Oh, we’ve been pretty good. We’ve done blah blah blah. 3 losses to good teams on the road, 5-1 on the road. Yawn. Yo yum. We can defend. Been up and down on O. Hanging in there. Not real deep. Pretty young. 2 Sr’s and 2 Jrs.
2nd question
Team led by Jorge, 1st recruit by Montgomery (even though he’s talking to the man)
Yes… bla bla…
3rd
Solo:
It hurts. He’s our best rebounder and physical guy. He suffered injured and he’s been out so we have had to get by without him and so it’s not new. We rely on 7 guys to rely on heavily and now we’ve got 6, so this puts pressure on us. Other guys…

A story about integrity and academics.
Seriously, there are more important things in college sports. I’d take this over Bozeman’s shady stuff.
His contribution, when healthy, was already significantly greater than the stats indicate. With a lot more ceiling than floor. There’s a huge, gaping hole where he used to stand.
His athleticism is going to be hard to replace, there’s just nobody else on the team with his length and athleticism.

The Twitterz are suggesting the WR Coach rumors
would be a good move. If we can hit a solid D-Line coach and add the Follett I think we may be able to look back and call this Cal’s 2012 version of Y2K

Mohamed Muqtar, director of student service
You have a good friend in the Cal athletic department. Tell me a bit about him.
Mohamed Muqtar is the director of student service. He’s probably the most beloved person at Cal and maybe in the world. Any athlete who has ever gone to Cal knows Mo.
He’s from Somalia and fled when the coup happened. He grew up in Italy and America. Let me put it to you this way. He and I went to Oklahoma City for the N.C.A.A. Tournament. We were sitting there and the phone rang. It was Roy Williams, the Cowboys safety.
Roy said, ‘You’re in Oklahoma City? I’ll be there in two hours.’ Roy Williams wanted to go to Cal really badly. The Cal coaches weren’t that into Roy for some reason and he ended up going to Oklahoma and becoming Roy Williams. But the impression Mo made on him when he visited was so strong, that they still stay in touch and he got in his car and drove up to Oklahoma from Dallas. That’s the kind of guy that Mo is. Every student at Cal who ever played a sport knows him. Through Mo, little by little I got to know people there. I’m probably best friends with Joanne Boyle, the women’s basketball coach.

Chandler has the most impressive resume.
But I like how Collins has ties with the SoCal recruits including Payton.
I don't like Chandler's resume as much just because he has so little college experience. Ditto Collins. (Well OK all three.)
Walters might be a dirty Furdie, but Texas A&M’s receivers were truthy the last couple seasons.

Do you really need college experience, though? Football is still football, and if a guy has connections to recruits already, that should be a solid point for his resume from a recruiting standpoint…
by Missing Barry on Jan 18, 2012 6:38 PM PST up reply actions
Well, shit, Clancy turned out alright so there's that, but I'd just as soon not have anyone on staff learning on the job.
I mean, it’s been documented (literally, I think the Washington Post did a thing) how poorly coaches with predominantly NFL backgrounds do as head coaches and coordinators. I don’t know if being a position coach necessarily changes anything.
Collins has recruiting ties and has made his career working with high school and college players to the point that his stints in the league merely augment his resume, so that’s a definite plus.

I think for a position coach it’d be much different, because the focus should be on working on the fundamentals as a position coach, right? I think that’s more similar at both levels, whereas coordinators/head coaches are more of a strategy/game planning position…
