Go Bruins!

Good to finally see the whole squad intact.

This yearโ€™s team has so many options available. It will be fascinating to watch them develop.

To see how this all shakes out. Cronin has some pressure here.

Different from the ones I posted above. Does anyone know what model of Air Jordan Jumpman's that Berke is wearing from the photo of him dunking? Is that a special edition for the team or can we buy them somewhere?

Hope you're in good health and feeling better.

Second of all, you have a second career as a private eye.

Third of all, who do folks believe will play a bigger role, Mara or Berke? Vide or Mack? Lazar or Ilane? Brandon or Devin?

What an interesting year.

Yes, I'm much better now especially with our FB team at 3-0 and all this exciting news about our BB team. Still might have to have another surgery but overall, I'm good for now, thanks!

Actually, my time at the hospital gave me time to think and come up with some ideas on how to preserve these IG stories posts which disappeared after 24 hours. Especially the videos which are difficult to archive. But I finally figured it out that it could be done with a chaining process that not many know about as IG's true links are hidden and their public links just disappear even if archived. So more technical knowledge with a little private eye skills, I would say.

Today's kids use IG stories like a short diary/blog post for their friends to check out but also as a way to get users/fans to come daily to their IG page. Brilliant marketing by IG to also work with TikTok as most kids use both to market their 'brand.'

My favorite IG/TikToker among Bruins has to be Kenneth Nwuba. His dancing on TikTok is on point and Gabriela Jaquez (also very active on TikTok) often appears with him (https://www.tiktok.com/@knashsteve/video/7269556470583282975). Also Emily Bessoir and Izzy Anstey from the Women's BB team are also two beauties who are great on IG.

And oh, one of our EU recruits loves the ladies FYI. He is enjoying the TikTok posts of some of our dancing sorority girls that just did a Barbie dance challenge, here is one of many (https://www.tiktok.com/@alphaphiucla/video/7280274132359531819)...ha ha ha...Can't tell you how I know this other than my friend's daughter is a member but these kids become friends even before getting on campus so the UCLA sorority girls might even become our best recruiters...lol

Looks like deceleration drills for agility/balance. This is the 1st video I've seen of him working out in UCLA wear.

Other UCLA BB players who wore #15. Anyone else I'm missing? Also any players of note from the Wooden years?

Things are a bit slow on the BB front but some info I got from our Turkish fans is that

Adem's dance with Lazar imitating >>> https://cutt.ly/iwvgE7C8

is a folk dance from the Ankara region, usually danced at weddings.

There's even talk of opening another UCLA Store in Ankara (in addition to the one in Istanbul) so the interest in Tรผrkiye is getting bigger by the minute!
