Depends entirely on whom they add to their 2015 class, and where they finish this season.

Even it's a disaster, he's got at least one more year to right the ship. Two straight years of missing the tourney, and I think he'd be done.

Thrilled to get this commitment. Still need Rabb, Zimm, or Bragg.

Beachcat97

Beachcat97

It's starting to seem like whoever commits first gets the 'ship. Rabb is and always has been Plan A, but Zimm is probably a close second, followed by Bragg. I think Coach would be very happy with any of these three. How many more scholarships do we have to offer for '15?

Beachcat97

Rabb falling.

Beachcat97

It seems infrequent that guys will pull the trigger right after an in home, especially when they've got other in homes lined up with sexy programs. It's like they want to soak up all the love and hospitality possible, even when they've known for months where they're going.

Beachcat97

So that's very, very late. That's only four months before he started college. Not sure how things are gonna play out with our remaining targets, but it could be a while before we know the full makeup of our '15 class.

Agreed!

Anyone happen to remember when AG first gave his verbal commitment to AZ? Maybe just by way of comparison to the timetable Rabb, Bragg, Comanche, etc. are on.

Where will the scoring come from? http://espn.go.com/blog/collegebasketballnation/post/_/id/100053/where-will-arizona-get-its-go-to-scoring Not a very good article.

Looking good, no idea, doubtful.

Beachcat97

Yeah, no chance both Zimmermann and Rabb both come here, and don't hold your breath on SZ at all. Definitely more of a "who commits first" scenario, and both recruits understand and have known this since Miller's first interaction with them. I'll take Rabb, please. No offense to SZ. I just think if...

Beachcat97

Thanks, NJ. We'll miss you next season.

Beachcat97

Anyone heard any news on Zimmerman? I'm assuming he won't commit till the spring. I've assumed we're not at or near the top of his list, but 24/7 seems to think otherwise; not sure how credible that site is. I wonder which way he's leaning. As far as a commitment date, Zimmerman recently told SNY.t...

Beachcat97

So basically, UCLA is getting whomever Miller isn't recruiting? Is that what it's gotten to? Well, it's not like they're getting kids that Miller IS recruiting. It would be crazy, though, if somehow Rabb, Brown, and Zimmerman all end up in the Pac. Not to mention the rest of our stellar '15 class.

I've watched him. I'd say currently a 4 but with 5 potential.

Beachcat97

The way I see it, Miller's got until February to get his rotations figured out (though it probably won't take that long), make sure everyone knows their role and "buys in," and get them to play with a chip on their shoulder. We need to be nasty. Aside from that, our guys just need to stay healthy, p...

That would be SJ getting fouled by and dunking on UCLA's Tony Parker.

Heh.

Beachcat97

Is the general feeling that Zimmerman is a one and done player? Seems like a tough call right now.

This is great, but is there anyone who really thinks this guy will be a Wildcat? Seems like a longshot.

Beachcat97

Who are our biggest competitors for Comanche? Any indication that he's an AZ lean?

Beachcat97

Any idea on when Rabb, Comanche, and Zimmerman are gonna make their decisions?

Beachcat97

He reminds me of Bayless a little.

Beachcat97

Wow. Our '15 class is getting insane. If Rabb joins them, we've got the top class. Again.

Beachcat97

Took Bo Ryan over a decade to reach the FF. Granted, Wisconsin doesn't get the same level of talent that we do, but there's a rather long list of good coaches who either took a long time to reach the FF, or worse, never reached the FF. I do think Miller gets there this year, however. Too much MASSIV...

Beachcat97

Wasn't Salim pretty amazing as a freshman? And what about Elliott? I have high expectations for SJ too, but maybe we oughta keep this in perspective. We just need him to play his role, get better each week, and stay healthy. We're setting him up for failure by saying he'll outshine these all time gr...

Beachcat97

So the top three are Izzo, Donovan, and Calipari. Nice that they got it right.

Beachcat97

I wonder if Donovan will ever leave UF. Of the guys on this list, he's really the only one not at a "name school," though he's certainly done everything possible to make UF into a name school.

Beachcat97

Top four should be: 4) Izzo 3) K 2) Donovan 1) Calipari

Beachcat97

So it's looking like Gabe vs. KA will be one of the biggest battles for PT this year. If our starting backcourt is TJ and SJ, that leaves Gabe, KA, and Pitts competing for time as backups. Not even sure where this leaves PJC. We'll have a lot of guard depth this season.

Beachcat97

Arizona is clearly the only "name school" in Pac 12 hoops.

I'm gonna go ahead and assume that we're not a serious option for Briscoe. Haven't heard a word to suggest otherwise from 97.

Beachcat97

I love Miller, but Donovan >>>> Miller

It's not close. This could change over time, but for now, there's no serious discussion worth having.

so Gregg Marshall is ahead of Ollie too? bwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Remind me again: what has Marshall done? He's gotten to one FF while dominating the freaking Missouri Valley Conference.

The only way Marshall is ahead of Miller is alphabetically.

Beachcat97

I'm good with SM being ranked 11th. Sounds about right. And I expect him to climb into the top 10 very soon.

cats101 wrote:Jim placed at #12

Boeheim at 12?? Behind Shaka?? These rankings are quickly losing credibility. But then, Eammon Brennan is one of the voters, so I guess credibility was strained from the get go.

Beachcat97

Teams drafting 5th or lower will be sorry if they pass on AG.

Taking them to the woodshed next season seems inevitable. And what's funny (but also sh*tty) is that beating them won't really do much for our resume. It's not really a "quality victory."
