Somehow I must infiltrate his Bear luvfest with Dovian wit...

 

[MuchoDogYears]

Someone may want to tell Vance that bears hibernate this time of year. No matter, he'll find out soon enuf when he steps on campus.

 

[Fishy]

I'm creating Cal twitter accounts urging Vance to commit to Cal and lead us into the NIT.

Emoji mania! He's not shy I'll give him that. Plus he has fabulous hair. That is the main thing that concerns me about a possible Cal lean. Fabulous hair. If he decides to come here, to one of the greatest basketball schools in the last 20 years, I will root hard for him and his fabulous hair. With what we have coming in 2016 and what is already here, he is the shooter that brings us another title.

I think you went a hair overboard here.

Try the veal he's here all week! And yeah, you're probably right.

 

[DogMania]

Wow! The kid has a template. Replace Huskies with Bears and swap out a few emoticons and he's all set for his next visit. Something tells me that he's a tough read as far as where his heart might be. Cuonzo Martin has done a nice job of pulling in some impressive talent recently, so it's not like Jackson would be joining a bunch of stiffs. And Berkeley is a lot closer to home than Storrs, that's for sure.

On the other hand he and his family did trek all the way across the country to visit KO and UConn, so who knows?!?!

 

[DogMania]

BTW, once Wenyen arrives on campus, I'm going to write post after post how much better Jackson is a fit for UConn than Gabriel. Sorry, I just couldn't help myself.

If family influence is a factor, which it certainly seems it is, Cal Berkeley will be way more attractive than UConn.

I see. And are you jumping to these conclusions based on the fact that his father tweeted "had a great visit to UConn! I really feel it's a special place"? Makes sense.

He has no idea what he's talking about.

Jumping to conclusions? I'm not saying he's already made up his mind to go to Cal. I'm saying Berkeley is one of the best schools in the world and happens to be in his home state, where his family can actually watch him play. If those factors don't play a role in what Vance's family would prefer, then I don't know what does.

It's ok to say that you have no idea what his family is thinking. You don't have to be certain about everything discussed on this board. We don't really know what his family is valuing/not valuing for Vance's college decision.

What do the Twitter analysts make of Vance following 40 new people last night - all Cal fans?? Hmmmm

Is that your new . . . Next! Lol!

I'm no Twitter analyst, but what I make of it is that he is a teenager who wants to be shown some love wherever he goes.

 

[mauconnfan]

Or as nomar would say:

Va-Next

If only we had purchased him a first class ticket, I'm sure his mind would be made up....

 

[JimHurley]

Last night Vance retweeted me and 3 other husky fans. Today those retweets are no longer on his timeline. I'm probably looking wayyyy too much into this but, yeah.

 

[8893]

Clearly he has soured on us because he learned that DogMania is down on him and wants Gabriel instead.

Nice

Va-nice, just couldn't help myself.

He's from Cal. He might know over half those people. We knew we weren't the favorite, but he did fly across the country with his parents just to stay for 2 days... I doubt we're out of it.
