Re: let's talk '20

But is there even any guarantee he's immediately eligible next year? If Quade Green could be immediately eligible at Washington this year after playing 9 games for Kentucky last year, not sure why Akinjo wouldn't be after 7 games for Georgetown. (Although honestly I'm pretty confused as to how Gree...

True, but I'll be out at a dinner on Friday night at game time. Hopefully a replay stream is available, but that's never a guarantee.

When's the last time an Arizona home game wasn't televised, even if it is just an exhibition?

Re: Big 12 Rumor

Isn't the source of this rumor the same guy who basically said Miller to NC State was a done deal back in 2011?

Re: Bribery Scandal - FBI Probe - Book Richardson Involved

If I'm Self I know my line of defense is that I wanted to make sure Adidas was getting kids into their AAU pipeline so they'd develop an affinity for the brand, and thus the flagship Adidas school would be more appealing to them. It's clearly not what he meant, but I'd try to make the NCAA prove me ...

Re: Next year...2019-20

USC tends to get a respectable number of high-level players, regardless of who the coach is. If they ever make a homerun hire, look out. Kevin O'Neill begs to differ. I know this was a shot at his recruiting, but I'm going to pretend this refers to him being a homerun hire who flopped because it am...

Re: Bribery Scandal - FBI Probe - Book Richardson Involved

Yahoo's headline for the Book story: "Former Arizona assistant coach said he paid $40K to high school coach to ensure player's academic eligibility" The subheadline for Dana O'Neil's hit piece on The Athletic: "Former Arizona assistant coach Book Richardson paid a high school coach $40,000 to forge ...

Re: Next year...2019-20

They lost in the first or second round for 4 straight years as they emerged on the national scene. Then they had the big run to the Elite 8 which I’m guessing skewed that record into winning territory. Not sure what to tell you man, they only made 3 tournaments during that era and pulled upsets in ...

Re: Next year...2019-20

Unless there is a larger more statistically supported study of this, I’m not sure I can unquestioningly swallow that. I mean you say Virginia, I say Loyola Marymount (Paul Westhead edition). Blinding pace is no panacea to early exits from the Tourney. I have no idea the impact of pace, but wouldn't...

Re: Next year...2019-20

Maybe I'm being too generous, but when I first read "PAC-12 irrelevancy" I interpreted it as a shot at the conference, not the school.

Re: Bribery Scandal - FBI Probe - Book Richardson Involved

Summer is almost over and only one program, NC ST, has received a letter and they said 6 would. They also mentioned 2 high profile programs would receive a letter in July and only the above did. Wonder what the delay is or if they want to wait for the full attention to be on college football before...

Re: Next year...2019-20

Maybe Barcello gives his scholarship up for one year and pays the freight as an in state student? I don't know if you can do that. Someone who knows NCAA rules might know better, but it seems like a real open door to manipulate rosters to me. Also, even as an in-state student, real cost of attendan...

Re: sorry, not sorry

and now Parish is saying coaches in the Pac 12 are imploring him not to back down, and not to give up, and not surrender the fight and message that Sean Miller cheats. hey, if opposing coach(es) or competing program(s) are saying it, it must be true! shout, shout, Gary!!

Re: let's talk '19

Seems like Choo, maybe others, have hinted that the DD thing might not be 100% about ability, but also fit/chemistry? Those can be real factors. I mean it is what it is guys, it's not a basketball deal. Also in regards to shooting percentages from deep, yeah that's a fluke if I've ever seen one. Do...

Re: let's talk '19

Doutrive over Baker? Really? Is it that crazy? Baker's supposed to be a better shooter, but Doutrive shot 45% on 3s to Baker's 31% last year, and 46% on 2s to Baker's 37%. Doutrive's got a year in the system, and as fans many of us enjoy the chance to watch guys develop over the course of their car...

Re: Bribery Scandal - FBI Probe - Book Richardson Involved

Has anybody considered the Arizona basketball coach might not be dirty? Dawkins, who has been found guilty on federal fraud charges, is accusing somebody else. So, what’s that mean? For all we know at this point, Dawkins could be a snitch trying ease his own burden by dragging others in — whether t...

I think they were disappointed in first round exits after such great regular season performances But by that point Lute had made two final fours too and done the miracle work of turning Arizona into a legit program. If a fan said they wanted to ...
