FFS That’s cute. You thought the NCAA was rational and normal. Also the appeal process doesn’t allow new evid...

Kerr played well. Shot wasn’t falling, but it will. Benn is a stud Dalen is much better than last year. This style is perfect for him. Tubelis looked out of sort at times..and like a monster at others. Needs to get better at grabbing the ball when rebounding instead of tapping it. Koloko played grea...

I don’t honestly see UCLA or Oregon as head and shoulders above us. I feel like we should be right there in the running for the Pac12 title (pending injuries). Are you saying this based on the strength of our roster? I could be trippin, but UCLA's roster clearly looks like the best in the Pac. They...

I don’t honestly see UCLA or Oregon as head and shoulders above us. I feel like we should be right there in the running for the Pac12 title (pending injuries). I see UCLA as a top 10 team. Oregon as a top 20 and us as a top 30. I feel like UCLA will fall a bit and us and Oregon will climb. I also fe...

My personal expectations for this season: (I reserve the right to change these upon injury to starter, or at the end of OOC season) 1. Finish top 2 in PAC 2. 5 seed or better in NCAA 3. S16 or better 4. Benn- Pac12 POY 5. KenPom- Top 20 Offense 6. KenPom- Top 40 Defense 7. Win at least 2 of Wich. St...

Add to greedy goals:
win all home games
Sweep ASU
Finish road trips with split or better

Right where we should be to start the year. I’m very excited to see how we stack up with Wichita St (and Michigan if we win the first one).

I honestly have to correct myself on it all the time. I get it….but I’ve never ran head first into a lineman’s ass…so I’ve got that going for me

Right. IIRC…they were 12th in KenPom going into the tourney and ended up as an 11 seed?

Very excited to watch the Vegas games. See if we can beat a good team in Wichita State….and if so, how we stack up against a top 5 team in Michigan

Miller was hired in April of 09. And got the majority of his first class courtesy of USC and Tim Floyd. His second class left much to be desired. Third class is when he really got going. Equivalent of that would be Tommy keeping majority of core together for this year (Via Miller instead of Floyd),...

IndianaZonaFan

Lmao. I have never seen anything Choo said come back to not be true as it pertains to our program. The fact he’s getting called out is laughable. The only way he could prove his side is to post a video of both coaches talking to recruits and you know it. Sorry if what he said hurt your feelings. I’m...

You can only feast for so long on last year's leftovers. So far our new coach has whiffed on every major recruit (Sharpe, Tyty, Kaluma Bradley). All of the talk about systems and process won't matter if he can't make it happen on the recruiting trail. I honestly wouldn’t expect that until the ‘23 c...

Bama.

Facepalm.

Bradley making decision in a few minutes..

IndianaZonaFan

Got it. I hadn’t heard his name brought up and saw we made his top 3 today. Didn’t know if it was another case of just adding us in for show.

IndianaZonaFan

Thoughts on Koren Johnson?

IndianaZonaFan

And. To everyone bashing Tommy for recruiting…it’s been 5 months and he was jumping into all these recruiting battles late. Give him time. He will find the right guys. Please quote me if 2 years from now we aren’t expected to win the PAC and contend for a 4 seed or higher. I hope you won’t have to t...

IndianaZonaFan

I am thoroughly in the camp that wanted to keep Miller. I am thoroughly in the camp that was bored with his system. I am thoroughly excited to see what Tommy can do here. You can have all 3. I am extremely excited to see Benn, Dalen, Pelle, and Kerr in this system. Tubelis will get his no matter the...

IndianaZonaFan

I wish for old time sake and for the truth we could get an “Arizona is right where we want to be with Jaden Bradley” Would “Arizona is in a good spot with Jaden Bradley” work for you? At the very least this is a recruitment worth paying attention to if you’re an Arizona fan unlike the Shaedon Sharp...

Sharpe announcing tomorrow.

Last I heard it was Uk by a long shot and then us and the g-league.

I feel like I got my hopes up for this kid but all I’ve heard is that people will be shocked if he ends up anywhere that isn’t Lexington, KY

Anyone know/heard anything different?

IndianaZonaFan

Lloyd should get on TikTok and shake his assets. I've heard that's what the kids enjoy these days. Heh heh, you sound old all of a sudden Chi. I'm so Chi that you thought I was bashful. But this bastard’s flow will bash your skull Yup. I liked Donda, but not sure I loved it like some of his others....

IndianaZonaFan

So, I'd add that to the list of options for Tommy Lloyd. Be a great coach. And either don't be boring, or be really, really good at being boring. Lloyd should get on TikTok and shake his assets. I've heard that's what the kids enjoy these days. Heh heh, you sound old all of a sudden Chi. I'm so Chi...

IndianaZonaFan

Anyone hear anything on the Sharpe visit? Or the recruitment in general? Is this his 3rd visit?

IndianaZonaFan

We made Bradley’s top 5 (no UNC- not sure if that’s good or bad for us).

We also are getting an additional visit this weekend for Sharpe.

If we can get both of these guys…next years team will have huge expectations.

IndianaZonaFan

Good for JET. He shouldn't be expected to want to endure the $h!tshow that the inexperienced and unqualified UofA basketball coaching staff and a patchwork team are about to present to the fans. Congrats Lloyd groupies...now alumni are turning their backs to the program. It's just a matter of time ...

IndianaZonaFan

Hmm, not seeing the reason for the love on usc, can see wazzu #5 but there is gonna be a cluster below Oregon and UCLA, as much as it pains me to say it. Like a 4 way tie for 3rd or 4th. I do think we are in that second tier cluster. Just my thoughts. Gonna need to separate from the group. I'm not ...

IndianaZonaFan

We are around 12 weeks away from season starting. Should be good by then right?

IndianaZonaFan

I never got the idea that the recruiting was bad. CTL came in this off-season late and tried to get a few guys at the 25th hour. we didn’t end up landing either and everyone flipped their shit. He’s got us ending up on few lists of highly sought after players. Gotta prove some stuff through the seas...

IndianaZonaFan

Aiken is our 3rd best player? Ouch In reality and skill level..no. But he fills a void on our team that nobody else does. He also has more accomplishments on paper than others we think will be better. Benn, Tubelis, Kerr, Pelle and Terry are likely better in my eyes, but they haven’t proven anything

Article states he will take an official visit. Hasn’t he already had 2 unofficial visits h...

IndianaZonaFan

So are we to assume we are getting Aiken back?

If so he fills a big void we had. I feel way more confident in this squad with him on the roster.

IndianaZonaFan

Want him to be at Arizona next year. Already had 2 visits here. Tommy needs to lock it up. Kid is a FUCKING BUCKET.

IndianaZonaFan

It’s year one with a new coach. My expectations are tempered. I want to see this new system play out with this roster as is. And obviously want to see improvement through the year. I think more of our roster than most…and I expect us to make the tournament in the 7-9 seed range. If we don’t make it…...

IndianaZonaFan

11….but ok

IndianaZonaFan

Lots of pessimism out here. I think many of us are so used to CSM bringing in loads of guys each year that we are undervaluing our returners. I am looking forward to seeing Tommy’s open system with cutters and screen action. I like about roster as is, but we have a glaring hole and need someone arou...

IndianaZonaFan

According to Choo…If we kept miller and Akinjo, we would have lost Benn and Dalen. Miller raves about Kerr, so I’m fine with him as our starting PG. Pelle is solid as a 2 with some size Benn is elite. Tubelis is elite. That’s a great starting 4. Add in Koloko or Terry. Rest of rotation- Nowell, Kier...

IndianaZonaFan

Also Katz posted a new Power 36 and we are not in the 36, nor are we one of the other 25 under consideration…so therefore he doesn’t think of us as a top 61 team for next year. Can’t wait for this team to prove many in his field wrong. https://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-men/article/2021-07-08/coll...

IndianaZonaFan

I was hoping we would get Garcia. But didn’t feel great about our chances. Just didn’t seam like he was coming West. I have hopes of getting Obanor. he won’t be AS impactful as Garcia, but he won’t be a slouch either. Can rebound and step outside and hit 3’s when needed, so able to spread floor for ...

IndianaZonaFan

Garcia is down to UNC, Illinois, and Arizona

IndianaZonaFan

I love this board because no matter our differences in opinion on coaches, on court strategy...political differences....we can all come together to hate Larry

IndianaZonaFan

Newsflash. All kids want to be one and done. The goal is to be a pro. If they can do that after one year then they should go for it. They’re not playing for your entertainment or joy. They’re making a career from basketball. Something any of us wish we could do. I don’t fault any of them for wanting...
