Howland had burned bridges with every West Coast AAU program. That is about 95% of the reason he ended at UCLA. About that time those bridges burned Miller gladly built relationships with those programs who eventually turned on him to a degree. I thought Howland was a damn good coach but Miller/Ariz...

ESPN is informing the world that the pac12 doesn't play any zone defense and that's why UCLA lost. If that's the case, then what the hell did we play against all season long? I heard that and my thoughts exactly. Every team we played tried to Zone us, including UCLA. Underspoken topic from this sea...

Man and I thought our Sweet 16 loss to Xavier was humiliating. That final 10 minutes was a work of art of horrible by UCLA. I almost felt bad for them....almost.

UofAlum05

Why anyone is even citing ESPN's article at this point is beyond me.

How is Virginias depth? I like Bennett seems like a class guy at least the last 7 years... Kentucky has been playing zone, I beg them to play zone against us... They play a pack-line like we do but just much better than we do. Hunter is BY FAR their most talented/athletic player. The team is solid ...

Who knows with the tourney. We could end up playing Creighton in the Sweet 16 who would throw so many junk defenses at us. We could end up playing Davidson in the round of 32 who bombs 3s on us all night.

After losing to Xavier last year I will never get excited about any lower seed, injury, etc.

How much is the NCAA freaking out right now? They tried so hard to prevent an Arizona run. I bet they make an announcement today that they are moving us to the Villanova's bracket.

UofAlum05

Stay calm and remain focused on the task at hand.

Ayton can continue to chin nut anyone he wants in the tourney which goes right along with me telling every opposing fan on twitter that the NCAA can vacate "Deezzz Nuts".

UofAlum05

The dots are there to connect, its just frustrating to me that the National Media isn't connecting them or not acknowledging them. Dot: FBI isn't looking to find schools that are breaking NCAA Rules. They are wanting to bust Shoe companies, namely Adidas. Dot: Miller and Adidas have had a feud for a...

Remember the part of the ESPN report where it claims Miller said, "don't work with Book. Just go through me on all money arrangements" If that were true why wasn't Miller arrested during the initial indictment. It basically sounds like a source with sour grapes and looking to deflect blame through t...

RRod's biggest problem by FAR was recruiting. He never put any effort into it and allowed asst coaches to recruit players who don't even belong in Div 1 football. I actually think Arizona was a pretty well coached football team overall and definitely exceeded their talent level. But you can't not gi...

Anyone who thinks the overall talent and depth on the current squad is good hasn't watched much college football around the country. I sat 10 rows up at the Rose Bowl this year. Georgia had Safeties who were the size of our Defensive Ends. The state of Defensive line is an absolute embarrassment for...

UofAlum05

There is only one fear I have. Say what you will about Rich Rod but he did smoke/mirror limited talent into wins. This past year's team would have only won 3-4 games tops if Dawkins isn't injured at Colorado. I'm not entirely sold that this team has talent returning. I thought our WR's were extremel...

When considering all the ASU Sumlin talk, its important to remember there is history between the two. ASU made a strong push for Sumlin in 2011. Sumlin strung ASU along and leveraged the ASU offer to get the A&M job. Michael Crow did not forget that. So while Ray Anderson was always going to hire H...

The Vikings victory celebration last night was analogous to my feelings on hiring Coach Sumlin. https://twitter.com/Vikings/status/952737772321767424 Looked good early, lost hope and started talking myself into other options, and then at the last second - Victory!

UofAlum05

The biggest difference between this hire and the past two is recruiting. The biggest issue by far hurting Arizona right now is lack of talent. The overall talent level will increase dramatically at Arizona. If that means more wins/losses time will tell but at the very least we will be much better eq...

There are a lot of business deals that are initiated in stadium suites, on sidelines, at banquets, etc. There is also the prestige among other wealthy alums and/or Tucson residents that comes with being able to write that check, and the perks that come along with it. There are also those people who...

We need Calipari to give him a call since he's a better closer than any AD we've ever had.

Okay this I do know, but could be completely unrelated, coaches have to clean out their offices tomorrow. (PlayersProgramU, this don’t not necessarily mean a hire has been made.) Which coaches? And why? Working on specifics. The text I got said “coaches are cleaning out their offices tomorrow and t...

Les Miles likes to float his name for every job because it is part of the requirement of his buyout that he is continually looking for new jobs. He has no intention of actually taking any of those jobs.

Baldwin announced tomorrow is my feeling. Sumlin cooled for whatever reason, if we couldnt get enough cash or he was upset how hard it was to get the cash or he turned down lots of cash whatever, and after the Rincon Market "sighting" then it was Baldwin but something needed to sell this to the fan...

Sounds like the AD is backing away from it anyway. I love Arizona Athletics more than anyone. For Christs sake my entire vowels to my future wife are about Bearing Down.

Sumlin turned us down.

If Sumlin was going to turn us down, even after we got the money, than we should have never have flirted with him to begin with. They should have had strict assurances that he would accept once they got the money. If they didn't get that assurance, particularly after failing the background check, th...

The longer this goes on without a peep the more I think it will be Sumlin. Usually in these type of things it would have leaked somewhere that he's lost interest or something. I'm thinking Heeke wants to make a big splash at the bball game tonight. That splash isn't very big if he bring Baldwin out ...

Does anybody have any evidence that these leaks are from Heeke himself or his staff? Or are we just assuming? The only name i actually know that was handed to the media was Neuheisel and unfortunately, some took the bait. We might find that out to be true with Sanford. I believe Sanford was leaked ...
