God I was so excited for him to be here. If the UCLA game is the last time I'll see him play then thats incredibly sad and disappointing.

StickItInTheyFace

I think the desire everyone has is to lean out of the recruiting coach and back to more of a tactician and great in game coach. If we do move on from Miller, I agree, but I will say I'm kind of nervous about this. I would imagine we would still be solid in recruiting regardless of who we get because...

Better just to cheer for Sean Miller and stop mythologizing our own self doubts by projecting them onto this impression of him standing in front of a white board of X's and O's completely baffled and chewing on his dry marker: "What am I doing? I don't even know how to talk to these players! Should...

If we land Ziaire, would that be the final member of our '20 class? Terry, Mathurin, Williams, and ?? Also, we definitely lose Nico, Josh, Zeke, Chase, Stone, Max and Dylan. That's seven players!

Man I hope BWill can do it. Dude fucking deserves it and hopefully whatever basketball god that controls injuries can smile kindly on our school for once. Need some good news one fucking time after Ashley in 13-14 and Ray.

When is the breaking point? Like is there ever gonna be a point where they look at the status of the Pac, look at Scott's contributions and failures and decide to cut ties? How low could their expectations possibly be to constantly keep him around? I say this while our University has an actual moron...

Issue with Max is what he's shown on the def side. His issue with shooting is definitely the minutes and lack of volume. But those minutes and shots don't happen if you are getting pulled because of your def. Issue is none of these PG's have been able to stay in front of their man, which is a huge i...

Yeah, thats so fucking annoying. This team is easily top 5 with him here. I wanted to see him and Nico together so badly.

Can someone please explain to me (Like Choo) why Ira Lee gets so few minutes? I'm baffled Not choo, but heres my take. Offensively I have no clue what he's doing. Zeke is playing so many minutes and if the other team plays big, there's nowhere we can put him on the floor. I think he gets some go ag...

I take full responsibility. I defended him on the Sean Miller Thready yesterday so its logical he would get back to back possessions of borderline airball hook shots and what felt like 30 back to back possessions of wide open Dante dunks.

Secondly is what to do about Dylan Smith. He made some big shots late in regulation to give us the lead, then committed a horrible turnover with a 4 point lead and missed a front end 1and 1. Miller sat him down after that in regulation. Great move. Then brought him back in OT where he went 0-2 with...

It’s all continuing excuse land: the loss to Oregon isn’t a big deal “because they’re a great team.” They aren’t. They’ll show themselves to be a round of 32 or 16 and out team.

What’s the argument even about here? Everybody wants to win and doesn’t want to lose. If you’re just watching the games instead of playing or coaching them, what’s wrong with noting the positives and what they portend for the upcoming games and months? We’re not the ones who need to hustle more on ...

StickItInTheyFace

Honestly outside of Dylan Smith, Miller's transfers have all been guys from the west coast that he literally finished 2nd for the first go around or they went to a school he has recruited players from in the past. It's a recipe that's working for him. The fact that this has happened consistently is...

Are they being serious with that South division? If I saw anything like that in March I'd be laughing maniacally.

I also have a really good feeling about this road trip.
The OSU game has that traditional feel of a trap game. But I think in reality, we are just gonna work them.

Beating the hell out of ASU would help some. It doesn't fix any of the problems the team has right now. But after they swept us last year, pounding them would be a welcome sight.

Any news on Akinjo? A G'Town buddy told me Akinjo is a head case and probably not worth the trouble. Not sure how credible that is.

Might be an incentive for them to play though. Just kind of spitballin here but it seems like Miller was frustrated with them not practicing in his Press Conference yesterday.

https://media0.giphy.com/media/MA7x0Zcqjf1x6/source.gif One of the many things that are so great about Nico is his confidence and that he has an edge to him on the court.

Wouldn't it depend on Ewing/Georgetown supporting Akinjo's waiver claim to play immediately? Calipari helped Jemarl Baker's waiver and I'm assuming he did with Quade Green also. Absolutely and I have zero idea if Gtown would support a waiver or not. I imagine it can't be too much different from our...

StickItInTheyFace

I personally don't have any interest in him - his offensive efficiency has been consistently abysmal. I guess I am in a different school of thought here. I am super concerned about the point guard position moving forward. Mostly because there is no guarantee that BWill will be back or stay healthy....

StickItInTheyFace

Nothing else I've seen implicates him in any way. My interpretation is he is wanting to transfer prior to the the halfway point of the year.

If we land Terry, Walton, Williams and Miller then it is just more proof that Sean really is unparalleled in recruiting.

StickItInTheyFace

Shockingly, I’m going to take the dissenting position. We have tons of scoring punch in the starting lineup. We need Doutrive in the second wave to avoid a big letdown. He brings a lot more than scoring. Offensive rebounding and ball-handling being at the top of the list. He’s not nearly the defend...

My favorite part of the game was him shit talking the Illinois Guard while we were down like 7 points. Dude is not lacking confidence and that is a beautiful sight that we haven't seen since in recent pg's. This team really felt like it lost its edge and swagger after TJ left. Its back.
