I think you will see Henri at the 4 with this guy playing the 5 at times. Henri can shoot and so this sets up an interesting high/low combination.

Thanks I thought it was 2026.

TheCat

Pope is a good coach and better be because all his players have left.

TheCat

Chi that might be a bit of an exaggeration but they do have good bars.

TheCat

Well they are buying pretty good players. Hunter Dickson is no Eddy but will stabilize the Hawks plus he has nowhere to go. Self saying he checked out a month ago should make the Hawks proud.

TheCat

Better tie that coach up now for multiple years. Congrats guys.

TheCat

There are quite a few factors with coming in early like grades and passing core subjects. Maybe that was a struggle and he determined it was too hard or maybe he is shopping around. Who knows. No single player will dictate what a coaching staff does.

TheCat

So for those of you who have looked into Damon more than I have (minimal) who would you rather have? Freshman Sanon (is he a 1&Done?) Or Super Senior Love? Love was my favorite player to watch in an Arizona uniform this past season. I am not big on 1&Ds who aren’t game changers from day 1, which Sa...

TheCat

I have said it before I think he was the glue that held the team together. It will be interesting to see who can fulfill that role. Sorry to see him go.

TheCat

Has Pelle announced anything yet? He is the guy I want to stay.

TheCat

Oumar made the most of his abilities while he was here and was a delightful person and represented the university well. Can't have enough Omar's on your team.

TheCat

The team that is going to make a ton of noise in the Portal is Indiana. Lining up a bunch of good PAC players along with others.

TheCat

AD should be fired. Everyone knew Cal was on the clock. He should have gauged coaches for interest 6 months ago then make a move.

TheCat

Just saw a listing of the top 50 players in the portal. Omar is in the top 10.

TheCat

I assume if they were recruited over someone we have a better player and that should be the goal of the coaching staff always. Playing more will give a player more NIL opportunities the trick is they need to be your opportunities and not Arkansas with a $5M / yr NIL commitment. There will always be ...

TheCat

While I agree that we need to get these stars coming in plenty of playtime, it would be nice to have a senior leader on the team I fully understand that without a senior leader we could take a step back, but Bradley as a Junior can be that guy. He exhibited more poise in tough games than some of ou...

TheCat

The difference was 4 million viewers. If this happened a year ago the PAC would have the top women's programs to sell and maybe we would still be the PAC. Caitlin Clark did this and ESPN/ABC should bow down.

I think he will get the least. Bryant has size and can shoot. Phillips tape (haven't seen him in person) is Salim part 2.

TheCat

Karter Knox would be a great replacement......

TheCat

Thanks for all you contributed and especially for signing early which help show Arizona as a destination still.

TheCat

Arizona's problem with softball is that we can't get the best pitchers like we use to. Some schools have made softball (OK, Bama, Tenn) a priority and are willing to pony up the NIL to prove it.

TheCat

If you have Bradley and KJ starting we will struggle to score. Bradley's shooting came on at the end of the year but I think that is because teams were daring him to shoot. Love KJ's defense but will need to develop a more reliable shot to be effective. Love KJ's ability and confidence to take it to...

TheCat

When you say doesn't work well I guess you mean it wont work in the B12 but won the PAC 12 ? While I agree Love and Johnson were first year players at Arizona they were far from first year players in terms of experience. If you are right we will get 2 of the top 10 in the portal that can start. Tha...

TheCat

Pelle is the guy I would want most back. He had a terrible last game but all season he was the glue that held us together. Don't think that is going to happen because of the options overseas and maybe a shot at the NBA.

TheCat

Hate to see Anderson go. He had attitude with a mean streak. He is going to make someone a better team. Sad about this one.

TheCat

The Hurley family seems like a herd of jack-asses You mean I wasn't the only one who noticed this?? D Hurley's sideline demeanor and antics are hard to watch. Just a reminder for the guy that says UCONN has been dominate for 30 years. Well Dan here is your record after your first 3 years at UCONN: ...

TheCat

Who said Anderson is gone? Maybe he is but I thought he was committed to sticking around. Want to say where this came from or is it just a guess?

Love last 6 games: 1-10 ORtg of 24 4-13 ORtg of 97 2-11 ORtg of 42 6-17 ORtg of 113 6-15 ORtg of 97 5-18 ORtg of 70 Arizona’s record: 3-3 To be fair to Love, I also am out on PGs who no show 1/3 of the time and centers who are a TO every time they are sent to the line. This year’s version didn’t wo...

TheCat

I wonder if he can stretch his shot out to the 3-point line every once in awhile. Veesaar can. And until the Cats replace Keshad, we may see him a lot out there. Henri was 5-10 3PT his last FIBA season. https://twitter.com/ArizonaMBB/status/1602848652233351168 Tommy already said Veesaar was playing...

TheCat

The names I don't hear but thought I would are Mark Few (arguably done more with less) and Bill Self whose buy out I think is less the Nate's. I think I would approach Skaka.

Kentucky would be a terrible fit for Few but I can see Self there.

Greg Byrne could certainly poke us in the eye again.

TheCat

In the article on ESPN they mention CTL but say he just signed a new contract. Not sure how Nate qualifies because in a good year he lost more games then Cal did in about 3 at the beginning of his run. Yahoo sports says this under the heading top tier. Tommy Lloyd The numbers speak for themselves. I...

TheCat

Oh Jeez another round like Saban retiring. Something tells me Kentucky is going to see what it is like for normal programs when their entire highly rated recruits leave plus any players that were already there. Plus having a guy say he will fund the NIL by himself......wow.

TheCat

This was the highest rated basketball game ever on ESPN. That includes the NBA finals games they broadcasted.

TheCat

I wonder if Tommy couldn’t talk Boswell into a Jason Terry ‘96-‘98 role where he comes off the bench about 3-5 minutes into the game and just fucking wreaks havoc. Steals, assists, threes all in a hurry angling for him to win 6th Man of the Year in the Big12. He could have an outsized impact to the...

TheCat

I don't see anything. https://twitter.com/JavierJMorales/status/1776455269146620381 I agree you don't want the refs to decide the game but aren't you doing that if the other team gets an open shot they would not have? Tough call. I just think if Arizona was disadvantaged by a moving screen would I ...

TheCat

Phillip's is a great shooter from the videos I have watched.

TheCat

Too skinny needs two years in the weight room.

TheCat

After lessons learned in the Euro chase, Mick Cronin lands Skyy Clark and Kobe Johnson in the transfer portal. Dominic Harris is likely to join them in the coming days. Ilane Fibleuil and Will McClendon have both entered the transfer portal from UCLA's side thus far. That's a pretty good influx of ...

TheCat

I don't find a lot of downside to a guy that just had 14 out of 15 double doubles in a row. If it is in his best interest financially and goal wise I would love for him to come back. More than any player he maxed his ability, was a great representative for Arizona and just a joyful kid.

TheCat

ISU was the one team I was hoping to avoid in the first round. They are a terrific team.

TheCat

PC it also baffles me. Everytime we fall short of our own expectations we need to find a villian. I think some fans get their own self esteem from the outcome of these games and just can't appreciate the effort that athletes have put in to play the game they love to watch. I am disappointed when we ...

TheCat

I am really interested in Dylan's development. I think he is going to be good. If Henri returns I think he has been shooting more from the outside in practice and we may have an effective high/low game again. Freshman are always a crap shoot on how they play but we have a group of good ones that can...

TheCat

I'm looking forward to Boz's contributions next year and I know he will put in the work to expand his game. Lest we forget: Arizona sophomore guard Kylan Boswell picked up his first Pac-12 Player of the Week award after leading the Wildcats to a 78-73 win at then-No. 2 Duke on Friday. At Duke, Boswe...

TheCat

Winger I appreciate your concern. What really stinks to me is that you felt it necessary to "give him the benefit of the doubt now" after he has demonstrated with performance and success not seen before. While I'm sure CTL appreciates support from such a knowledgeable fan as you, how do you square t...

TheCat

That's really generous of you giving him the benefit of the doubt considering he is a two time conference champ, two time PAC tourney champ and made the sweet sixteen 2 out of 3 years not to mention his wins in these three years is nearly a record while playing Duke, Alabama, Wisconsin etc. (3 teams...

TheCat

Outside of his high game, those sure don't look like starter starter stats. Like the late great Bob Eubank used to say for MLB, you need to hit your weight. https://i.imgur.com/xtJA3zs.png What about the 3 before the ones you highlighted? Point totals were significant in those games. Boz struggled ...

TheCat

I think everyone here forgets the tenor of the preseason before we added those two guys. Can LLoyd recruit. What is our team going to be? They will just load up on Boz and Ballo. We have no real chance if we don't get someone soon. Now with two 5 stars coming in plus two outstanding 4 stars that nar...

TheCat

You don’t think they told Kerr Krissa his minutes at the point would be cut? Sure as hell did Find a post where I blamed Boswell. I simply don’t like his game and think we need a different type of PG which happens to be more like Bradley. Also I said I am OK with him moving on but never said jettis...

TheCat

We are going to need an experience power forward more than anything.
