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.

Don’t like this account..but this link is active. At least I can get behind this.

What criteria do you use to classify as cheating?

Payments, academic fraud (somehow every 5 star prospect qualifies academically for Duke, Stanford, UCLA, Indiana), jobs for parents, etc.

IndianaZonaFan

I’m laughing so that I don’t cry. But Muss is getting an extension because he played Robbins like a fiddle. This administration is incompetent. Literally couldn’t make their way through a rat maze. I wouldn’t blame Lloyd one bit if he backs out after seeing these morons jerk each other off. Muss wa...

I’m stressing out and have little to no faith in tweedle dee and tweedle dumb to get the right coach. I’m refreshing every 10 minutes to see which version of Hell we will be in.

IndianaZonaFan

For fuck sake...what can’t these morons ruin?

IndianaZonaFan

The mystery candidate better be Muss. Otherwise everyone else has talked me into Lloyd.

I’d guess he’s either pro (not likely) or a Texas lean. I feel like he would follow Beard

IndianaZonaFan

Anyone else consider the timing being that Lute is no longer here to have Sean’s back as well? Weird how they wanted to fire him for 3 years but didn’t do it or self sanction until after Lute is gone?

IndianaZonaFan

What about Gregg Marshall? I mean...we are about to venture into a dark period for the program. He has some baggage I know, but what better place (and time) to prove yourself worthy of another HC position by fixing yourself while rebuilding a program? I’d rather not have a coach who sucker punched ...

Same here. I also hold a grudge. I hope they all make a F4 and same with Sean before we do. They deserve it. Robbins and his goons do not.

IndianaZonaFan

AZ basketball is temporarily dead now. Unless the hire is somehow a home run, this automatically makes us worse for the entire foreseeable future. Maybe I was spoiled by the Lute era, but it seems to me AZ BB has been "dead" for the better part of decade. Allegations notwithstanding, so much talent...

IndianaZonaFan

And look, I know I'm melting a little, but one last thing. One of the many crazy parts, I'd bet you money if Robbins fires Miller now, part of it is that Miller is he has to do it before Miller returns a loaded roster, wins a lot next year and makes himself unfireable. We're literally firing someon...

IndianaZonaFan

Is there anyone other than that one Twitter account suggesting Lloyd is actually an option? He’s very much an option. So Ass-hat Bob is pulling the trigger? This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever witnessed as a fan...and I root for the New York Jets...I guess we might make the tourney in another 4 yea...

IndianaZonaFan

If true...We go from having a preseason top 25 (or better) team...to garbage and not recovering for about 4-5 more years? I don’t see the benefit of firing...especially after waiting this long. What new evidence is there to do this now instead of any other time in the last 4 years? This is a shit sh...

IndianaZonaFan

Kansas has 5 level 1 violations and 9 aggravators. This is not a big deal. Every contract has a what I will call a morals clause that says you can be fired for violating NCAA regulations or bringing negative publicity on the institution. I would like to see the language of the contract not that it ...

If we end up with these major pieces: Akinjo Kerr Benn Tubelis And then include Terry, Koloko, Brown...that’s top 2 for sure. If we can also get Eason and Tyty....that’s 1st in PAC, top 10 team...Arizona Good. Most of those guys got us a 5th place finish in the PAC. Guys I appreciate the optimism b...

IndianaZonaFan

Lots of good jobs opening up. Makes you wonder if Sean is at all intrigued. Texas is a really good job, if Shaka really leaves. So is Oklahoma. I would assume Beard to Texas, but the Oklahoma job is a good one. I hope Robbins gets his head out of his ass and extends Miller. If not, he needs to get ...

I'm kind of upset that we "self enforced" a post-season ban. It might not even count, there's no reason the NCAA or the IAR or whatever they call themselves will even care. And it means we don't get to be part of the pac-12 kicking everyone's butts in the tournament. On the other hand, we don't hav...

IndianaZonaFan

If Robbins left it up to Heeke, Miller would already be fired. For being smart guys...they sure are dumb.

IndianaZonaFan

I left that group a while ago because of all the casual fans who have no idea what they’re actually talking about.

IndianaZonaFan

This meant to be cryptic about Sean? Or just about tourney games today?

IndianaZonaFan

5, 6, 7? Does it matter that much. Point is, we were a lock last year. We had already won our first round PAC-12 Tournament game, and our NET couldn't move down too much, but could potentially move up the more we advanced in Vegas. As for this year, I content, bubble in before the Conference tourna...

IndianaZonaFan

Anybody know the players’ thoughts? Would there be a mass exodus if Miller is fired?

IndianaZonaFan

Gimme Akinjo, Kerr, Mathurin, and Tubelis and I'll be happy. Those 4 will make or break our team My wishlist: Akinjo Kerr Mathurin Tubelis Baker/T. Brown Terry J.

IndianaZonaFan

Indiana/Zona, to not quote to infinity, my concern with Baker and Terrell is I'd regard them as our weakest defensive guards. To me, that makes them the most expendable. IMO, job 1 for next year is improving perimeter D. Agree 100% I like Akinjo and Kriisa as I see them as our poor mans version of ...

$10 mil buyout plus they just gave their football coach an extension and raise

IndianaZonaFan

Transfers are hard to evaluate based on their stat line. Especially those from smaller conferences. You really need to pass the eye test to see how their game will translate against tougher competition. Dylan Smith looked like a decent transfer on paper. Against weak opponents he flourished, just l...

ChooChooCat wrote: ↑Thu Mar 11, 2021 6:58 pm Well with it looking like Miller gets his one last shot, expect more changes to the roster than you'd previously expected.

Are you saying Robbins is really going to ride with this one year remaining bullshit? He’s going to destroy the program...for years to come.

IndianaZonaFan

Consensus: Robbins is a moron who couldn’t make a decision literally to save his job...so he will do neither and take down the program with him.

Wonderful.

IndianaZonaFan

Looks like we have reached out to 4 transfers so far. All 6’6” or 6’7”. We could speculate who might leave based on that, but I’m more curious about if we’re going hard after these guys, and who we would prefer. J. Battle 6-7 G. Wash Wing Junior A. Toney 6-6 Pitt Wing Senior AJ Bramah 6-7 R. Morris ...

IndianaZonaFan

The national media would have you think Miller is guilty because of head coach responsibility and all...but it LITERALLY took an FBI wire tap investigation to find out what Book was doing. How is Sean expected to have the same resources as the fucking FBI?

IndianaZonaFan

My guess is 3 year extension with a very university-friendly buyout plan after year 2. If we are back into national relevance keep him, if not, then bye.

Again, just a guess. But I’m a big Miller supporter and think we will be back to having a sweet 16 or better by the 2023 tourney.

IndianaZonaFan

I'm not understanding where Baker would go. He's not pro-ready, unless he wants to play overseas, and why would he transfer again? You answered your own question already. Gotta make some money overseas before he gets forced to medically retire. Guy can’t stay healthy. He has a small window availabl...

IndianaZonaFan

Also doubt TB returns, but he doesn’t affect our scholarship limit. We are still over by one regardless. I could live with losing one or two of the following: Batcho Baker (not ideal) T. Tubelis (move to preferred walk-on?) Goerener Terry (also not ideal) Core returners i want to keep: Akinjo Kerr M...
