Isn't his twin brother also on scholarship? If so, the big question becomes is AT worth 2 scholarships. 1st 2/3s of the season, yes. Last 1/3 of the season, no.

Re: Tommy Lloyd
I fully understand encouraging fans to show up and make some noise. I was in Vegas for the PAC12 tournament and the AZ fan base was loud and proud. We easily doubled the other 11 conference teams combined just walking around the Vegas area. In T Mobile Arena it was a 10-1 margin or more. I don't thi...

Re: Tommy Lloyd
TL is an outstanding coach and deserves CoY except...this is his first year as a HC. In the world of sports you have to pay your dues first. There's a bias against rookies winning the MVP over veterans. That's the difference, Ed Cooley has been a HC for 15+ years. They both have their cases but tie ...

This dude deserves his own appreciation thread. PL's a stoic player so it's easy to forget just how important he's been to the team. Especially coming off a broken foot and a very slow start at the beginning of the season. He's very consistent and gets better with every game. With his jump shot and ...

Re: Jedd Fisch
Agree 100% PHXCATS that "70-7 was a huge blessing in disguise." It made it PAINFULLY obvious Sumlin had to go. Maybe he's a nice guy, but he was a horrible HC/leader/motivator/recruiter and anything else a HC is supposed to do.

Re: 2022 Recruit/Commitment Thread
JF just proved that you can attract a class of talented football recruits to Tucson. All we've heard over the years were excuses by our former HCs why they couldn't recruit. Well JF and our other coaches just proved them wrong and set a new recruiting bar. And that's after a 1-11 season! If Fisch le...

Jedd is a salesman. That's how he got into football. He had NO football experience yet sold his way onto Steve Spurrier's staff. It's a cute story but that should've been a giant "RED BLINKING" warning light. How can you coach any skilled activity without ever having participated in said activity? I...

Re: Jedd Fisch
I was against hiring Jedd mainly because of Robbins' heavy handed personal involvement. He failed to do his due diligence when hiring Sumlin and Jedd just felt like a similar impulsive decision. His resume didn't look like HC material...but I will say, so far, Jedd has been a very pleasant surprise....

Re: Bribery Scandal - FBI Probe - Book Richardson Involved
The most outrageous anti-Sean Miller statements came from ESPN's Duke-loving mafia (e.g. Jay Bilas and Dickie V.). Why? If Herb Sendek was still ASU's coach do you think they would have cared so much or was there an ulterior motive to help improve the competitive position of a fellow Dukie in Tempe?

Re: The 2020-2021 Season Thread
Maybe our Prez is more Machiavellian than we realize. He was taking serious heat with the Jedd Fisch hire. Less than a week later he decides to impose a post season ban on our basketball team after years of fighting the NCAA...interesting timing.

Thanks Choo. Based on the requisite qualifications that the AD laid out in his press conference and Fisch's obvious lack of said qualifications, this seems like an obvious case of cronyism/nepotism. I wonder, if hired, if Fisch's hiring could be challenged and rescinded? And the President fired for ...

It appears ESPN never heard or saw tapes yet went with an unnamed source to quickly push out an unsubstantiated story.
