Dave Rice must he horrible because ucla blew out UNLV by 40 in a secret scrimmage Probably means Alford doesn't understand the purpose of a scrimmage, probably treated it like a real game, lol. You're supposed to work on weak areas, put your players in tough situations, let the other team run on yo...

If he's not choosing AZ, just let him go outside the Pac. Looks bad to lose recruiting battles within your own conference.

He's a legit 7 foot, 5 star prospect. Why wouldn't you host him on an official?

Because 97 puts our chances at a cool 1.25%. Waste of time and resources.

If he's not a priority, why are we even having him for an official visit?

Both teams look great. Hopefully we can settle this on the court.

Beachcat97

I don't think TJ has any chance to be drafted, so 4 out of 5. TJ just isn't that quick and shoots from too low. Yeah. I love TJ, but let's get real: he's not exactly NBA material. He's definitely good enough to play overseas somewhere, but we've seen much better PGs than TJ fail to make it in the N...

If SJ asserts himself as a dangerous perimeter shooter, our offense is gonna be scary. His dribble-penetration will force a lot of double-teams, freeing up Zeus and Ash for high percentage looks. And it'll leave Gabe and TJ open for 3-point tries. Praying that we can stay healthy all season! This is...

Beachcat97

Are we leading for Leaf? Maybe just in the mix?

Beachcat97

I just need 97 to chime in with an "Arizona is right where it wants to be with Rabb/Zimmerman" Personally, it seems like our chances with both these guys are slipping a bit. Zimmerman is being courted heavily by UK and KU, and Rabb seems to be warming up to staying home and playing for Cal. Hope I'm...

Beachcat97

If SJ shoots better than 32% from 3 this season, I think most of us would be pretty surprised. Pleasantly surprised

But still surprised.

Beachcat97

Just need some size to go with these star guards.

Not sure SJ can hit from the perimeter like NJ. Guess we'll see.

Beachcat97

This team is great enough for a Final Four but right now I don't know if they're good enough to finish the job. I think it will depend, in part, on whether someone emerges as our killer, a go-to scorer who can be counted on in the final minute of the game. NJ played this role last year; TJ, too, at...

Everyone likes to think Kaminsky alone beat last years team. That wasn't the case at all, offensive struggles were the downfall of that team. We saw evidence of it during the season even before the Ashley injury but somehow didn't pay much attention to it. And you think we'll be better offensively ...

The odds aren't great. But you know how much the selection committees love to place past tourney opponents in the same region.

RHJ is a better free throw shooter, but no way he defends near as well as Gordon, not even close. AG could guard every player on the court. Gordon was also a 49.5% FG shooter and a 36.5% 3PT shooter. Don't think RHJ will improve on those numbers. Except Kaminsky. But this year, Tarc will have help ...

i predict Rondae Hollis-Jefferson & Stanley Johnson will be among the leaders in minutes played along with Kaleb Tarczewski & TJ McConnell. i predict teams facing Arizona are going to have a hell of a time rebounding and scoring. i predict Arizona's MASSIVE size will once again be its biggest weapo...

It's nice to get a sense of everyone's expectations, relative to my own.

We have an incredible opportunity this year, provided everyone stays healthy.

1. Ashley and TJ will be All-Pac 2. We're going to see at least three different starting lineups before Pac play begins 3. Miller will get his first FF 4. Another Pac 12 title 5. We're going to lose at least one OOC game 6. Undefeated at home 7. Stanley Johnson will be very, very good, but he won't ...

Trying to be as objective as possible, why should UCLA be ranked in the top 25?

I'm not afraid of Kentucky. If they were collectively more experienced, perhaps with a senior PG, I'd be more impressed. But I really feel like our core upper classmen (KT, BA, TJM, GY, and KA) give us a competitive advantage over just about everyone, provided we're healthy. And then you mix in our ...

How fast can those UK freshmen and sophs gel as a group? Can they avoid injuries? I can't remember too many teams with as many future NBA players as this UK team.

The difference is that Arizona BB has mostly been elite. Any frustration is regarding games which would allow Arizona to be a FF or NC. Football's frustration has been that the team is not elite and can't make breakthroughs. I don't think these two are in the same category. Every year (other than t...

I know personally that majority of the uCla fan base is uninspired by their head coach... With that said, I believe that this extension could not have happened at any other time. I don't see them having a better year this than last. UCLA has a very difficult schedule, and a young, unproven team. I ...

Beachcat97

Alford at UCLA relegates that program to second tier status for the near and distant future. He's no better than the 5th best coach in his own league. Can't imagine that sets well with UCLA fans.

Depends entirely on whom they add to their 2015 class, and where they finish this season.

Even it's a disaster, he's got at least one more year to right the ship. Two straight years of missing the tourney, and I think he'd be done.

Thrilled to get this commitment. Still need Rabb, Zimm, or Bragg.

Beachcat97

Beachcat97

It's starting to seem like whoever commits first gets the 'ship. Rabb is and always has been Plan A, but Zimm is probably a close second, followed by Bragg. I think Coach would be very happy with any of these three. How many more scholarships do we have to offer for '15?

Beachcat97

Rabb falling.

It seems infrequent that guys will pull the trigger right after an in home, especially when they've got other in homes lined up with sexy programs. It's like they want to soak up all the love and hospitality possible, even when they've known for months where they're going.

Beachcat97

So that's very, very late. That's only four months before he started college. Not sure how things are gonna play out with our remaining targets, but it could be a while before we know the full makeup of our '15 class.

Agreed!

Anyone happen to remember when AG first gave his verbal commitment to AZ? Maybe just by way of comparison to the timetable Rabb, Bragg, Comanche, etc. are on.
