Worse case scenario in the 12 is we become like this years Michigan State...quality games but limping into a perennial 9 seed

S16, regular season conference champs, a draft pick or two. The realistic hope of a contending team NEXT year.

the sad thing is it, we're so used to it. That it all feels weirdly comfortable, like a once nice pair of jeans.

Don't really care about the lame sentiment of "conference unity", and program need to follow the money. But losing the home court advantage in the P12 Tourney in Vegas and the Territorial Cup in football are the biggest secondary negative effects. I would like to visit those Plains states small coll...

Now Fresno St. :lol: If the SEC wants to expand west, wants a school in the CA for the fertile recruiting grounds, and Stanford/CAL say no, what schools are left? Will Fresno State get an invite to the SEC if the SEC want a presence in CA? Not before Stanford, CAL, and SDSU, that's for sure. Who kn...

Neither. It's Big 10, SEC, possibly ACC or bust. These other conferences will all be 2nd tier at some point and the recruiting disadvantages of being 2nd tier will ruin our athletic programs. Not to mention a much much smaller opportunity to ever have a shot at National Championships. That is why t...

Oregon State might as well be Stanford compared to Boise State. I knew BSU wasn't exactly highly regarded academically, but I had no idea it was that poor in comparison to even the other tertiary state schools.

What would you rather be in? Big 12 or a new PAC with the 8 current members (Oregon and Washington gone) and 6 MWC teams added?

Seeing when the USC game is scheduled I would either- 1. Play the subs against USC and give the rotation a break, making it a meaningless game for both teams, or 2. Play the entire team during the quarterfinals of the Pac-12 tourney, not trying to win so the team can get some rest before the bigger...

I have to remember that when Miller first arrived he re-recruited Solomon hill and pulled DWill and a few others. He had some misses early on with Josh Shelby and Doron Lamb. But he did recruit some high level guys that didn’t happen to pan out (Josiah and Sidiki come to mind). Long story short, le...

Could we have actually used Aiken Jr in that situation?

What's the deal with Aiken? he can't transfer again; is he pouting or is it another issue? I think we may eventually need his depth.

The Illini fans had no idea who he was until he started kicking their asses and all of a sudden he was all they could talk about. My eyes were glued to him the whole time. He just puts in so much effort on every play, with or without the ball, and he’s so damn smart. You could see him sizing them u...

Love his confidence, but his and the other guards defensive lapses really hurt. Frazier and Plummer combined for 52 of the 79 Illini points. No doubt the Lloyd plan was to defend Cockburn, and let the guards beat you, and they almost did. It was good to get Terry back in the game. I guess his 3pt% ...

Is Pelle good enough to start next season? Pending on what Lloyd would want to do with the roster of course, but yes I believe he'd be good enough to start. Doesn't mean he will, but he'll definitely be in the mix for a starting spot. This guy can shoot and you can never have to many guys like that...

How does Ballo have 4 years to play if he played this year? azgreg posted his stats. Is it the Covid waiver? I thought all players have a do-over because of Covid. Ballo was at Gonzaga for two years.

I heard Koloko was something like 60/40 with staying before this happening. I'm going to guess he is gone which makes me sad.

I don't know (from the very little I've seen of him) that Lloyd is a guy who can get me to ride or die with him the way Sean Miller did.

Yeah I'm on board with Murphy as interim for a year. What's the argument against it? The chance to offer someone else's assistant coach with no HC experience?

Worst case would be if Lloyd accepted, but then later Robbins revealed the true scope of expected sanctions....forcing Lloyd to bail...and that info will soon get out.. further poisoning the future. Realistically then, Damon is the best choice and our recruiting ceiling will be swing-for-the-fences,...

Bringing a mediocre football team to 8-4 level is not nearly as steep a task as the high expectations of a potentially sanctioned bball. This can be accomplished with well hired-assistants who can coach up our 3 stars. Fisch seems like he is competent, thorough and professional. That small differenc...

Is there any non-Boomer/Homer reason to hire Damon or Miles instead of Lloyd?

1stNGrant Frys

I know there were rumor's about Ben... but no one on AZ has officially announced they are transferring yet... correct? It seems like they are at least waiting to hear what we are doing and maybe talk to our HC? I think its a great sign that no one "rage quit" and just entered the transfer portal.

Jesus....just what I want. A coach so loyal that he raids the program he just spent 20 years at. If he was contacted earlier and did not tell Arizona to stand down till the Natty was over I want no part of a person like that. Personally I don't believe any coach with any honor would do that to the ...

I'm not as wise on coaching acumen as most of you all, so how would you assess Lloyd in these 5 traits? 1) Ability to retain current players - A short term benefit but simply putting talent out there is 70% of college bball game. 2) X and Os - Miller had a solid strategy, but was often too rigid. 3)...

I recall back in those days Musselman's name was also bandied about. To a "meh" response.
