Cal Men’s Basketball secures Grad transfer in Jordan Shepherd
Open scholly is now filled
 |
The open scholarship left by Matt Bradley has been filled. Grad Transfer Jordan Shepherd from Charlotte, by way of Oklahoma, has joined the Bears. he played two years at Oklahoma before he transferred to Charlotte. Shepherd, a 6-4 point guard, is a career 30% 3PT shooter but a better driver and finisher at the rim. His turnover rate is concerning as a point guard, which is something the Bears ready struggled with from the guard rotation the past two seasons. The Bears will have a senior heavy roster this next season and will look to capitalize on the this upcoming season after a dismal last 2 seasons.
Welcome to Berkeley, Jordan!

A PG who has a problem turning the ball over and is a30% 3-pt shooter. . . Ok.
Welcome Jordan. Should hopefully improve our athleticism at least, which is seriously lacking...incoming FR Sam Alajiki looks to help that as well, as does the undersized big man Onyanwu who had offers from plenty of better teams. Given that the last few BOD Dragon kids that have headed to Berkeley have underwhelmed, not sure what to expect from Roberson.
Doesn't really change the script much for next year on its face, tho, does it Rob? The Bears still face a massively uphill climb to respectability with huge questions in the middle and, as Kelly is pretty much the only presence down low...the lack of player development is worrisome, and adding a low %/high turnover guard to Makale Foreman, Joel Brown, and Jared Hyder is a puzzling choice with Kuany, Bowser and Celestine seemingly ready to get more minutes at the wing....sigh, hoping Mike Williams gets scabies...
