Cal Commit Jaylen Brown and Shareef Abdur-Rahim

There are some interesting connections that link Jaylen Brown with Cal. Brown is a product of Wheeler High School in Georgia. Not a usual locale for Cal to find basketball players, but this is not first highly regarded recruit to commut to Cal.

Shareef Abdur-Rahom, who might've been the first and maybe only one-and-done player to play hoops at Cal (even Jason Kidd played for two years) was also from Wheeler High. Now Cal could have two such players from the same high school in Georgia (if Jaylen Brown does turn pro after only one year at Cal as expected).

The other school connection between that Shareef team and today's Bears' team is the University of Tennessee. Cuonzo Martin, Cal's current coach only ended up at Cal because of Tennessee did not want him. The other key player on that Cal team led by Shareef was Ed Gray who was a transfer from Tennessee.
