Things have turned from bad to worse for the Cal basketball program.
During the same week that an assistant coach was fired, a key player was injured and the team lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, a critical recruit has decommitted.
Tyson Jolly, a 6-4 shooting guard from Oklahoma who prepped at Elev8 Academy (FL), announced that he will re-open his recruitment.
Given the uncertainty at Cal, I have decided 2 ask out of my LOI and re-open my recruitment. This was not an easy decision, but the right 1.

Jolly initially committed to Cal in April 2015 over offers from Oklahoma State, SMU and Gonzaga, among others. He then signed an NLI last November.
“I’m happy to have Tyson on board with our program after a year at prep school,” head coach Cuonzo Martin said then. “He is a passionate player who is excited to be a part of what we are trying to do.”
It’s been a rough week for Cal. Assistant coach Yanni Hufnagel was fired over charges of sexual harassment, point guard Tyrone Wallace broke his hand before the NCAA Tournament and the No. 4 Bears were then upset by No. 13 Hawaii in the first round.
