I hope this is not true.

IndianaZonaFan

Same here. I’m like Tyrone Biggums in need of some info about players we are looking at. But I get it. Nothing is happening unless someone enters the portal at this point..or so I understand

Pretty sure elite athletes can hire agents now, but need to drop them if they return to school.

And that’s only if they’re NCAA approved agents.

IndianaZonaFan

I hated the firing of Miller as much as anyone. But as far as our roster goes...and from what Choo stated...I’d much rather have this roster with Mathurin/Terry than Akinjo/J. Brown.

IndianaZonaFan

Yeah, as we move through the offseason there will be plenty more conjecture and “woe is me” posts to look forward to. Welcome home. Hahaha

IndianaZonaFan

He’s a filler who can’t be here more than 1 season. We have plenty of room for him. Hope he can contribute off the bench when needed.

IndianaZonaFan

Cook to Georgia. I guess we will end up with Kier?

Any chance we could still get Harris to hit the portal and come here?

IndianaZonaFan

Can we please get a Kevin Parrom/Keanu Pinder hybrid to start at the 4? I just want a true four to be on roster. Tubelis seems more like a five to me. Would love to grab a modern four. A guy like Pinder would be nice. Wouldn't mind a guy Like Stone Gettings either. I liked Gettings But it would be ...

Sounds like a good shot taker. Also sounds like a.....highlight reel?

CTL finalizing home and home with Tennessee to start this year. Return game in Tucson in 2022 That is awesome news, hopefully this is a trend and not just replacing Gonzaga. I miss the marquee match ups of the Lute days that Sean was clearly not as keen on. And it’s only a 4 hour drive for me. Big ...

I thought getting a star PG would greatly improve the season...because that greatly improves every teams chances. Now that Tyty is off the table. I’m glad to have Kerr start at the 1. Also, if we get a guy who is good enough to make Kerr come off the bench...even better! I think what was lost in all...

IndianaZonaFan

Kerr earned his merits overseas as a PG. Due to having to play with Akinjo (super ball dominant) last year, he was forced to play at the 2. The kid is a natural 1 who thrives in P&R and is a good (not great), streaky shooter. He has great vision and can make passes with the best of them. I want him ...

Adama, or someone else? I can’t remember if he’s the one you’re talking about

IndianaZonaFan

I hope whoever we end up taking for our starting PG can contribute immediately, as well as stay at least 2 years.

IndianaZonaFan

We just officially offered yesterday?

IndianaZonaFan

Let’s say we land Kaluma...this our starting lineup? Or would Kaluma come off the bench so Koloko could play the 5? PG- TBD SG- Kerr SF- Benn PF- Kaluma C- Tubelis ??? That would be mine yes and I assume it would be Lloyd’s. Love it. Bench of Koloko, Dalen, Nowell..that’s an 8 man rotation. Prefer ...

Bayless?

IndianaZonaFan

When Tyty didn't commit during that weekend he visited, started getting the sense AZ isn't a serious option for him. G League or Kentucky, imo. I sure miss the days when Lute would offer 3 players for one scholarship position, and say the first one to accept gets it. But different world now thanks ...

IndianaZonaFan

If Tommy can get Tyty and Hickman...he’s a witch.

If that somehow happens...does Kerr start over one of them? Or come off the bench?

IndianaZonaFan

I’m cool with it. I see it this way. If you can’t get Arizona-good players, leave those spots empty and call it a self-sanction. Basically saving that spot for someone you feel is a better fit next year. Instead of getting someone who is not up to par and then having to push them or someone else out...

IndianaZonaFan

I feel like it’s a situation where each day/week that goes by it’s worse for us or am I off here?

The PG position begins and ends with Tyty. He intends to make a decision fairly soon, you don't go to plan B until you know the status of Plan A.

Nice.

IndianaZonaFan

Alterique Gilbert (UConn & Wichita St) is in the portal. He an option?

If Tommy can somehow manage to get this as a starting lineup, I would be salivating at our potential. Tyty Kerr Benn Kaluma (UNLV decommit) Tubelis Bench- Koloko, Brown, Terry, Nowell, transfer guard How many of the bench guys leave at that point? None of them should honestly EXPECT to start. And I...

Tubelis

IndianaZonaFan

4 open spots to fill. Unless we are going to roll with 11 and self sanction scholarship limit this year... in which case we would have 2 open spots.

IndianaZonaFan

This EXPECTATION of NCs is crazy. We have 1..EVER. Not sure you should expect multiple. That is delusional. We all know a lot of the tourney is luck. We should expect to win conference championships and get high seeds in the tourney. I liked what Miller was able to do mostly until the Wichita State ...

Tyty being on campus has to be a good sign though, right? Whyyyyy am I looking for updates every 5 minutes in the middle of April????

It’s official, Mathurin is back. He's going to look so good in a Tommy Lloyd offense with his off ball movement and shooting ability. Finishing school before turning pro. Please choose your words more wisely. This confused my small brain for a minute and thought you meant he will finish school befo...

Wishlist for this year’s team: Tier 1 (solidify 4 starting spots) Get Kerr back Keep Benn Keep Tubelis Add Tyty Tier 2 Keep JET Keep Nowell Keep Dalen Keep Koloko Keep Brown Tier 3 Add a sharp shooter (if everything above happens...we would need to lose one of: Aiken , Gorener, Dezonie) I feel like...

IndianaZonaFan

1. Kerr
2. Benn
3. A. Tubelis
4. Koloko
5. J. Brown
6. Terry
7. Ballo
8. Gorener
9. T. Tubelis
10. ?? Nowell ??
11. ?? Dezonie ??
12.
13.

Hopefully Tyty fills one spot, we keep everyone else and add a transfer guard/wing to be set.

IndianaZonaFan

I think this thread is going off the rails...let me correct it.

Fuck President Robbins.

IndianaZonaFan

Curious who the other transfer is though. Assuming a pg or combo guard that will come off the bench to relieve Tyty or Kerr

IndianaZonaFan

I think we end up with him. He’s already wearing UA gear during his personal workouts on social media. Gotta mean something, right?

IndianaZonaFan

Tyty
Kerr
Benn
Tubelis
Koloko

Brown
Terry
T. Tubelis
Gorener
Ballo
Aiken
Nowell
Dezonie

That’s a full roster. Adding another transfer requires not retaining/getting someone or losing someone on this list.

IndianaZonaFan

Wishlist for this year’s team:

Tier 1 (solidify 4 starting spots)
Get Kerr back
Keep Benn
Keep Tubelis
Add Tyty

Tier 2
Keep JET
Keep Nowell
Keep Dalen
Keep Koloko
Keep Brown

Tier 3
Add a sharp shooter (if everything above happens...we would need to lose one of: Aiken, Gorener, Dezonie)

Tyty fit better for Lloyd? I haven’t had a chance to watch him or really watch Lloyds system.

IndianaZonaFan

So you’re under the impression that Sean knew what Book was doing? So Sean is making 2-3 mil per year and wants Book to line his pockets for a lousy 15k of ADIDAS money? You think adidas is giving money to kids to go to Nike schools? He wasn’t even giving any benefits to kids who were incoming. He w...

IndianaZonaFan

I feel like Akinjo is gone-gone.

But I feel CTL can convince Kerr to stay.

If we can get Tyty and Kerr to be our starting guards, and bring in either KJ or Nowell to still come here, I’d be happy with our 1&2 rotation.

IndianaZonaFan

Those three Pirela highlights look identical to Russell Westbrook. Obv not saying he’s Westbrook or will be Westbrook but he gets rebounds and dribbles and goes to the hole just like him. less explosive jumping ability, but everything else is super similar. Would mind adding him to the roster at all.

IndianaZonaFan

This goes back a few years when we were saying we needed to have a “motherfucker” on the team, ala Kevin Parrom, Mark Lyons, and TJ. We needed to look no further than the man in charge. He will always be my #1 UofA motherfucker. I will miss his passion and fire.

IndianaZonaFan

His shaky ass voice didn’t even pronounce Aari’s name right at the presser.

IndianaZonaFan

I don't know (from the very little I've seen of him) that Lloyd is a guy who can get me to ride or die with him the way Sean Miller did. There were just things about Sean Miller's personality, both in calm and exciting times, that made me love him. I'd run through a brick wall for the guy, and stil...

IndianaZonaFan

What's the knock against Damon, besides Pacific? I completely don't buy the hesitation about his record at Pacific. But there was something else somebody said about his time on Miller's staff. What was that? I think the knock was someone saying he put in no effort in recruiting. Now that he’s had t...

IndianaZonaFan

Listen, I’m tired. This is wearing me out.

If it’s not one of:
Tommy Lloyd
Dame
Mark Pope
Or rolling with Jack Murphy for 1 interim year....

I think I’m gonna legitimately cry over this.
