3 star, 192nd ranked player in his class? Am I missing something? He hasn't been properly evaluated. Anthony Davis was a 3 star entering his senior year of HS play until he popped onto the AAU scene and dominated every one. This kid was very very good the entire EYBL (averaged 18ppg). He won't be a...

I know his sister goes to Kansas. Probably tough to pull him away from them. Think there's a reason we've prioritized Hands and other PG targets at this point.

Pitts, Ristic and York were all four-star recruits, if not higher in some services, though. And we don't know how many more years we're going to get out of Elliott or Dusan. Perhaps Miller sees a better Kyle Fogg in this guy and is using Lute's approach to try and light a fire under some higher-rat...

Mainly because it happened so long ago.

I forgot Jerod Haase even existed. Probably because he turned out to be nothing post-college much like most Kansas guards.

Yes we obviously have a shot at an elite talent in our own back yard.

We won the conference 2 years in a row with only Gabe York providing a pulse off our bench and doing something that Stephen Domingo is more than capable of (shooting open 3s). Big woop indeed.

Cal will be good but does just adding two good freshmen make them one of the most improved and best teams in the nation? I don't know. No, it's adding two very good freshmen along to a roster with 3 returning players who averaged double figures in scoring along with a highly rated transfer becoming...

Here's a real fun question that's eating at me a bit. Miller has brought together a group of players who are more renowned for their offense than they are their defense. So does Miller play to this team's strength and conjures his primary lineups based on the best offensive players or does he try to...

Is it really much of a stretch to say our only commit of our 2016 class is the gem of the class so far?

The good news is that only making it to two Sweet Sixteens in the last half dozen years leaves plenty of room to hang recruiting banners at Phog. Elite 8 in 2011 and National Title Game in 2012. Unless you're talking about Arizona. But I can't remember the last time Arizona made it past the Sweet 1...

Let him go to Kansas. Kid got tossed from a game for yelling at the refs That doesn't concern me in the slightest, especially since he wasn't even playing in said game. He dealt with reffing that Americans sure aren't used to with the U19 tourney and handled it just fine playing for a coach who he ...

Seems like we've done pretty well in our head to head recruiting battles with Kansas recently. Pretty sure they wanted Tarc and Gordon. We were a long shot for Gordon and we dodged a flop when KT chose Arizona. And you lost head to head for Oubre and Bragg (who canceled his visit to Tucson and shor...

This looks like a true KU/ AZ battle and my money is on Miller. How about it fuegs, you up for a wager? Interesting. You sure about this? You'll have Smith, York, Trier, Simon and that tiny point guard back. We'll have plenty of playing time to sell with potentially Greene, Selden and Svi leaving a...

Great article about this USA group and interesting comments from Miller on what pussies the other NCAA coaches are (not those words of course, but yeah...) Miller's success here makes him a likely candidate for future USA Basketball appointments, but he has concerns about some of his college coachin...

Khalil Tate tweeted a picture of a Texas A&M banner with him on it along wit #gigem. It has since been taken down... Not sure, but I thought Tate at some point changed his Twitter profile page.

It's so painfully obvious that Trier has never been really coached in high school or prior. There's a lot to like about the guy for sure, but there's going to be some major growing pains. Findlay is a good level of prep for a high schooler. He was just always the best player. You get some leeway li...

I meant centers, but yes Riley and Ira Lee are available as well as 4s. My guess is Arizona has a better chance with the guy from Arizona there and UCLA probably lands the other.

If we're looking at bigs in San Diego for the 2017 class I'd look no further than Brandon McCoy. More so than ever with Jalen Hill being ucla bound.

His HS coach is Angelo Chol's HS coach, so my guess is no.

This year will still be good, but not the level of the last two years. But if we get Jackson and others and guys like trier and Smith stay around, 16/17 could be a juggernaut year. Just spitballing here, but the lineup for that team could look something like this: PG: PJC/Allen/Simon SG: Trier/Alle...

Wouldn't mind seeing the Wildcats playing that pressing style for a change of pace, once in awhile. It would sure keep some Pac-12 coaches awake at night. If Arizona were able to go 12 deep like this USA team is I'm sure he would be all for that pressing style. Let's see him play more than 8 guys i...

What would it have changed, except Ryan Anderson taking his minutes? Anderson is better than a senior Ashley, eh? Either Anderson is better than I realize, or you really don't think much of Ashley.

I think the announcement will be the renewal of our contract with Nike. From what I understand that's exactly what it's going to be. A bit more money all around the athletic department (i.e. the coaches' wallets) also a bigger pool of money for equipment which should lead to newer helmets and speci...

I didn't say it was likely. They all have the potential to leave after next year, just like sj, rhj and Ashley all had the potential to come back for 2015. Most likely won't happen.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't they looking to move up the retention plan schedule by one year? If so, then this kvetching is kind of funny. No, the retention plan is set until 2020.
