He's like a fine wine.

Well, at least for some of you.

I think we see more bench contributions early in the season. As always, that roster will be pared down as the postseason arrives. I think PJC, York, Pitts, Allen and Victor all get some quality run and developmental time. I have no idea what to expect from Ristic. I don't expect Korchek to ever play...

thenewazcats

There's simply no way we're as good defensively without Gordon. RHJ is a great defender in his own right but he can't make the same impact Gordon did. I don't think any AZ player will for a long time.

thenewazcats

Another big get. Hope he recovers soon.

thenewazcats

Gooooooooooooootze

thenewazcats

Both teams look exhausted

thenewazcats

Preventative

Is it wrong to think this is entirely a PR move? Sarver knows he has no chance, but it helps quell the rumors about him being cheap long enough to camouflage the fact that they actually don't really wind up improving via free agency. He remains in no actual danger of having to spend money. Yep. Den...

thenewazcats

I think RHJ makes that 1st team AA.

thenewazcats

Four first round talents and a 5th year senior coach's son bulldog pass first PG... Don't care if it's the best in the country, that combo plus Miller's touch is enough for a title run.

thenewazcats

Frankly, I love a good hot dog.

thenewazcats

Dutch deserve to win this one

thenewazcats

The longer this poll grows... the higher the standard each new contestant faces. Is she hot? Sure. In comparison to some who have come before her? Not enough to get my vote. Plus, I don't like her hips. And like Longhorned says, she looks a lot like her dad. It's weird.

My ESPN FC bracket had Brazil, Germany, Argentina and Spain in the semis, with Argentina beating the Germans in the final. Now I think Germany takes it. They look like the best team with the way they work together and their keeper is so hard to score on. The Dutch looked great in the group stage but...

"Our school can offer you a better experience" vs "We will give you more money" have two very different impacts on the perception of a level playing field. That's not hard to see even if our heads are buried in the sand. You mentioned Alabama football. According to rivals, they had had the #1 ranke...

Storm clouds above my house last night. There were two balls of light moving around the clouds. It looked like electricity building up. I've seen it a couple times before when the clouds are really low to the ground. The balls of light look like a spotlight hitting the clouds but there are no spotli...

I think the drop in talent level would come with fewer early entries and the popularity of college sports would actually increase. Fans don't watch NCAA sports because that's where the best talent resides. They watch because of a connection to the schools, like DZ and midnight say. Longer amateur ca...

i think ESPN will have it end up this way as well. my non-bias personal top five (6/30/14): 5) Izzo/Self 4) Coach K 3) Pitino 2) Calipari 1) Donovan mind you, I think Sean Miller and Fred Hoiberg are great season or two away from penetrating the top five. well, ESPN and i agree on something Heading...

It's not a question of individual v. team play. In a World Cup soccer match, a team can play with only 10 players for much of the match, and how much of a difference does it make? A 4-on-5 basketball game would create an unfathomable mismatch. The size of the players in relation to the area of play...

The problem with having farm systems in football and basketball would be the impact it would have on collegiate sports. Would they survive? Probably so, but I wager that their popularity would be vastly reduced. Perhaps even to the level of college baseball today. Reason? As opposed to the day when...

thenewazcats

Zelalem and Green are athletic enough and I expect their technical skill to be world class in four years. Not on a Messi or Ronaldo level but enough with the other pieces on the team to seriously compete for a deep run. If Yedlin can improve his already impressive skill, he's going to be a beast in ...

thenewazcats

I'll just say this, Villanova, injury-depleted ISU, MSU, FLA and 8 seed UK were not juggernauts last year. It was a down year for basketball, and AZ was the clear cut best of the bunch before that horrible injury, and afterward, only the best game of Frank Kaminsky's past, present and future could ...

thenewazcats

What's the point of going to high school? Really? Can't think of anything? Like the same reason your kids should attend? NBA farm system? Please proceed. College ball survived the last time these guys could go right to college. Amd there is no system where you pay SJ in college without paying the s...

I have no problem with upsets. I love upsets. Everyone loves upsets. And I really, really like soccer. But compared to the impact of every player and every move you see in a basketball game, it's so much harder for an individual player other than the goalie, or an individual play, to affect the gam...

Soccer is so damn boring. Worse than baseball even. I can see why the rest of the world enjoys the sport but I'll never be able to enjoy it anywhere near as much as football or basketball. Now that Team USA is out, let's go Germany! I can claim ethnic origins, right? Soccer is definitely more watch...

thenewazcats

I think Johnson returns for another WC. Maybe Bedoya, too. Landon's already not on this squad. Dempsey has been great but I can't see him making it again at his age. It is possible, but I'm not sure if Yeldin beats him out or not (hopefully we have better midfield options by then). Bedoya won't be ...

thenewazcats

I never get the purpose of telling soccer fans how boring the sport is. What's the motivation? You see people enjoying something and try to bring them down. Is that a personal insecurity thing?

thenewazcats

Future looks bright with Johnson, Yedlin, Green and hopefully Zelalem It will be a new generation of soccer. Johnson (27), Jones, Beckerman, Zusi (28), Bedoya (27), Dempsey, Landon, Howard, Cameron, Wondo,and Besley might not be on the team in the next world cup. Green, Bradley, Brooks, Besler, Gon...

thenewazcats

Yeah, we got out of the group of death and lost in extra time to a team that was clearly more talented. The Wondo miss hurts but it's not like we lost a game we should have won based on 90 or 120 minutes.

thenewazcats

Future looks bright with Johnson, Yedlin, Green and hopefully Zelalem

thenewazcats

That's the future right there

thenewazcats

Big step in the right direction. I think we can get excited about 2018, not about winning it but again making another leap. This tournament has done a lot for US Soccer. We'll feel its impact in 12 years.

thenewazcats

Speechless. Wondo WTF?

thenewazcats

We need fresh legs. Jones and Dempsey look tired.

thenewazcats

Almost feels like our best hope is a shootout.

thenewazcats

Just one shot on goal in 60 minutes. Not gonna cut it. Belgium is knocking on the door.

thenewazcats

Bradley's been much better this game. A couple passes were off but he's had some good ones, too, especially feeding Yedlin the ball with the long pass.

thenewazcats

Bradley's been much better. Jones has had a couple good defensive moments but other than that he's off his game. Yedlin is electric. Dempsey hasn't been great. I feel like we miss Beckerman a lot. Beasley has had a great tournament. We're really going to miss Johnson. I feel our best chance at scori...

Watching Stanley dunk all over short white kids makes me realize how stupid it is forcing a kid that big and talented to not only play college basketball but high school basketball, too. I know, it's sacrilege to say so, but what's the point? Yeah, the kid develops, but can anyone find a motive for ...

I recently learned there's no such thing as a pterodactyl. It's a derivation of pterodactylus, the correct name, which is weird because as I write the correct name, the spell check marks it, and when I google the correct name, it shows results for the incorrect name. I hear this drives scientists ma...

Germany-Algeria game is getting interesting

James Rodriguez has been amazing in this tournament. His long shot today was the best goal of the tournament.

Thanks for that, Gato. I don't want to say I want one guy more than another because every target in the class looks great but I would be really disappointed if we lose out on Commanche. Spaceman/Pooh, I don't think he and Ristic are the same guy. Commanche looks like a better athlete with much great...

thenewazcats

I always assumed Rabb was coming because Miller made him the #1 priority. I always assumed Smith was coming because 97 says AZ is where it wants to be. I've started to wonder about Commanche because people aren't talking about him as much, which worries me because I really, really, really like what ...

I'm going to the swap meet to get a bud light in a paper cup, nachos, kettle corn and a Sonoran dog. I may try to trade some baseball cards or even get a haircut. I don't know, I don't want to plan it out too much. It will be a visceral experience.

Looks like some skewing going on. No conference network ratings provided. Not that those numbers would touch the national networks' but from the looks of it maybe the source didn't have access to or altogether ignored conference network ratings.

Predicting 2015 NBA Draft lottery 3. Stanley Johnson (Arizona) Johnson was the leading scorer on the USA Basketball team that just won the FIBA Americas U18 tournament. The 6-7 wing averaged 14.0 points and 5.4 rebounds in that five-game event. He's among the reasons Arizona will again be picked to...
