Cal HC Mike Montgomery inquires about Justin Cobbs

[BleedGopher]

per this tid-bit from Sid:

"Smith said he got a call from California basketball coach Mike Montgomery asking about the ability of Justin Cobbs, the Gophers basketball freshman from Los Angeles who is leaving the University of Minnesota to play closer to home."

Sid also had this:

"Mark Rotenberg, University of Minnesota attorney, said that the negotiations of an extended contract for basketball coach Tubby Smith have been held up because the school lawyers are spending time on the current lawsuit where Jimmy Williams is in court with the school claiming he was hired as a Gophers assistant by Smith and that Gophers athletic director Joel Maturi refused to allow it to happen. Williams quit his job at Oklahoma State and sold his home there assuming he was going to join the Gophers staff. The trial started last Friday and will continue Monday. Among those testifying for Smith on Friday were former U.S. Rep. Jim Ramstad, ex-Gophers coach Jim Dutcher and Kevin McHale, who played for the Gophers when Williams was an assistant coach."

Looks like Cal has a highly rated point guard coming in next year, Gary Franklin.
