From Timothy Sailsbery, father of Jud:
"I wanted to make you aware that there were 3 additional signings from Butte College in addition to Arthur Caldwell (Cal St-Dominguez Hills).
Matt McGregor (University of Great Falls-Montana), Connor Morningstar (Clarke University-Iowa) and Jud Sailsbery (Clarke University-Iowa) all signed during the spring or early summer.
As a parent of one of the young men, I do want to express how grateful my wife and I are to Coach Russ Critchfield and the entire Athletic Department at Butte College. Coach Critchfield truly not only coaches basketball players, he also coaches them to be responsible young men as well. AD Craig Rigsbee runs a first-class operation in terms of academic support, dedicated academic advising, athletic training/sports medicine, etc. If a young man or women wants to be successful not only in competition, but also in the classroom, the staff at Butte College ensures that the resources are available to achieve that success.
The Athletic Programs at Butte College have our highest recommendation and endorsement."

Can Cal compete for the PAC-12 championship?
From BANG: "Jaylen Brown scored 19 points and Tyrone Wallace had 18 as the Cal basketball team rallied from 11 points down to beat the Frankston Blues 84-76 on Tuesday at Melbourne to improve to 2-0 on its Australian summer tour.
Brown, the Bears' touted freshman forward, contributed five rebounds and four steals. Wallace, a senior point guard, had five rebounds and four assists. Freshman Ivan Rabb of Oakland contributed 14 points and seven rebounds. Jabari Bird added 13 points and six rebounds."
The Bears will be young, with the best two talents being freshman, but don't put challenging for the conference title past them.
Ryan Gorcey reports on game three, another Bear win.

The movement of top prospects to academies
Richard Obert writes that Arizona is now experiencing transfers amidst the creation of basketball academies in-state and elsewhere. Why one prospect has chosen to move to Prime Prep Academy in Dallas seems questionable considering its academic under-performance: Link Link
Prolific Prep up in Napa was very smart to leave academics to the professionals and focus on basketball skills advancement.

Sailsbery headed to Clarke
He was honored as a First Team All Golden Valley Conference selection this year.
McGregor going to the Big Sky state
5-foot-9 Matt McGregor has signed with the University of Great Falls-Montana. Out of Paradise High and Butte College, the sophomore totaled 6.7 points plus 2.3 assists in the 2014-15 season. He tied for second on the team with 2.3 assists per contest.
McGregor was named to the Golden Valley Conference All-Defensive team for his efforts this past year.
Morningstar to the Hawkeye State
Guy Dossi offers an outstanding feature on Morningstar, who played with an injury all season. One little known fact is that Morningstar has been a member of three championship teams in three years, including back-to-back Golden Valley Conference titles.
From Team Rampage
Along with Jhaylon, there are two more 8th graders that Coach Bracy is high on. Point Guard Daniel Fagan, and wing Jerimiah King. "Daniel has a high IQ and handles the ball exceptionally well, and Jerimiah has potential to be one of the best scorers around." With these three 8th Graders, it is clear to see that Team Rampage is looking to make a splash this 2015-2016 AAU season. Coach Bracy is also banking on getting a lot of talented athletes from the two Vallejo Football Programs, the Vallejo Raiders and The Junior Jags."
Two more tripping to SJSU
Team Superstar tweeted: "San Jose St. has Derrick Langford (@5Dlang) unofficial visit this Saturday & Darrin Person Jr (@UserDpj32) Aug. 29th."
Langford (Salesian High) is a 5-foot-11 guard in the 2018 class while the 6-foot-6 Person is a 2017-er out of Fresno.

D.J. Siddiqi/Heat Nation catches up with Tyler Johnson who is recovering from injury.
