Bear Down Wildcats

Gladiator Cat

A few days ago I stated that I didn't think this team would do much in the Big Dance. The last two games have proved my thoughts as fatally flawed. Yeah, I'm back tracking.......the team I just saw win the PAC 12 Tournament is absolutely going to make some noise this year. If we play with max effort...

Gladiator Cat

Ok lets do this!

Gladiator Cat

With a once in a lifetime talent like Ayton on your team, you can't waste this opportunity. We've got to make this work.

The rest of the team needs to man up.

Gladiator Cat

Basically in the 2nd half the ball should go to either Ayton or Dusan even with the zone. Our guards and wings are sucking it up tonight.

Gladiator Cat

Alkins should be a rebounding machine or riding the bench. He is god awful in every other phase of the game. Dude has regressed. Why is he going to the league? He has no handles, a poor shot, terrible decision making, and can't think of even why he is out there with 2 fouls. 1 point in 15 minutes. ...

Gladiator Cat

PJC absolutely stunned me with his effort tonight. Best defensive game by far I've ever seen him play.

Gladiator Cat

Deandre Ayton is such a special talent that if he came back to school for a second year, he'd literally be so dominating he would likely be bored with the game. If he stays healthy, can you imagine the coin this kid is going make over his NBA career. We're probably talking about Jordan type money i...

Man I love me some Sean Elliot, but Ayton is on a whole different level. Best player in our proud history no doubt.

Under the tutelage of Lute Olson, Elliott was named Pac-10 Freshman of the Year. He was selected as a consensus all-American during his junior and senior years, and led the Wildcats to the Final Four in his junior year (1988).

Gladiator Cat

Did i hear correctly, this same Cal team lost to ASSU by 31?

Gladiator Cat

Ayton is both and Alkins has been horrible most of the year outside of a couple of great games. The foot injury hasn't helped.

Gladiator Cat

Sorry to be so brutal but this team isn't going anywhere in the tournament. They just have no cohesion, no flow, and its clear as hell that there is some friction between some guys.

Gladiator Cat

I like you're positive attitude but I don't buy it. This current roster with stars in Ayton, Trier and Alkins and a serviceable Ristic and a bunch of role players we struggle to beat teams. Next years roster with all of these guys gone...good grief.....teams the level of Oregon State will be a chall...

Gladiator Cat

The bottom line is Miller and Arizona are about to have a couple of down years. Maybe even big-time down years. I'm not going to rationalize any of this BS. The current team we have with zero recruits for next year is not a tournament team. Now moving forward we will get guys to come but these are g...

Gladiator Cat

That was as serious and profound a presser statement as could possibly be produced.

The university and Sean Miller laid down the gauntlet. I'm also confident that you will never hear a public retraction from them scumbags at ESPN because the financial liability would be enormous.

Gladiator Cat

Wow, very very happy to see coach Miller is back. This is about as good an outcome as could be expected.

ESPN is utterly and completely dead to me. Their scumbag sackless commentators will never regain an ounce of respect in my eyes and by the way........karma's a bitch.

Gladiator Cat

... is that the optics clearly show me that Robbins and Heeke very likely do not believe Miller i believe they believe Coach Miller in his refute to the report from ESPN - what i think scares the living daylights out of them about the long term situation is anyone close to this entire situation is ...

Gladiator Cat

What this all comes down to today, aside from all of the legal maneuvering is that the optics clearly show me that Robbins and Heeke very likely do not believe Miller and they very likely have some deeper high value sources that can corroborate their stance. Look, if what 97 confided with us that S...

Gladiator Cat

Its all speculation at this point but I really think Sean is looking for a new start somewhere else. We know he loves this program but he exudes the need for a new start. I don't think he's been happy for awhile. Many factors. That's my observations, but I wouldn't mind being wrong and may in-fact ...

Gladiator Cat

Guys you all need to come to grips with Miller being gone. He's done at the UofA. Book was the first nail in the coffin and ESPN was the last. They literally nuked Miller and the program. Be it a mutual parting of ways or a more drastic departure, nonetheless, Robbins and Heeke's hand's are tied. Th...

Gladiator Cat

If there are any true wildcats fans, that after the last few days still have any subscription fee based accounts, or are paying for content in any way with ESPN after this crap...............shame on you.

Gladiator Cat

That editorial staff at ESPN...jeez. I don't know how people aren't, or will be, fired over this. Even as we wait to hear about Miller, it's already plainly clear that Schlabach and his team published a story that wasn't vetted. I would think this would be grounds for termination at any reputable j...

Gladiator Cat

If heads don't roll at ESPN for this travesty, and I mean high profile heads, then you will have full acknowledgement and an open admission that this was a well planned and targeted character assassination of Sean Miller and by association UofA BB program. There is zero probability that this level o...

Gladiator Cat

Guy's most folks are missing the most important dynamic of this ESPN shitshow. Yes the front-line, low level commentators and hacks that the fans see everyday broke this story but make no bones this was approved and given legs to run with this cluster fuck of a targeted attack on Sean Miller and Ari...

UAEebs86 wrote:Mmmmmmm..... Sounds like someone threatened to sue ESPN

Yes please let it happen and let all of those talking hacks at ESPN be subjected to a far reaching slander and libel lawsuit and maybe even a few commentator and executive jobs being lost along the way.

Gladiator Cat

Yes Hank, but I don't get pleasure out seeing a man's career destroyed to save a freaking malignant disgusting criminal enterprise ran for profit under the facade of amateurism. Sean Millers career has been irrevocably harmed and he is being singled out. You're hatred for the man blinds you to an ob...

Gladiator Cat

ESPN and its executives and commentators are rabid attack dogs that are fully compromised and their shameful actions are a coordinated effort to look official on news matters and try to maintain or expand a declining market share. What a bunch of lying, contemptible disgusting vipers and sharks. ESP...

Kerr doesn't want any part of this shit show.

I would be very surprised if Arizona even plays in the tournament this year.

Robbins and Heeke may have to pull the trigger and bite the bullet. The cleanse has to start right away no matter how painful.

Its just as bad in football. Don't kid yourself.

Gladiator Cat

Whats the most funny about all of this shit is the NCAA has known for years that players and parents are paid huge sums of money for the stars. And others not so fortunate get hand out's under the table. But those asshats at the FBI had to come along and conduct a giant sting and get all of the dirt...

Little surprised anyone is stunned we paid recruits Newport, What I'm the most stunned about is that fully functioning and well educated adults would engage in something so utterly criminally stupid and idiotic as to talk, discuss and negotiate paying players over a phone. Even my dog knows what am...

Gladiator Cat

Very Impressive and coach Sumlin hit it out of the park.

It doesn't appear to me that Dave Heeke is in over his head. As a matter of fact he and Dr. Robbins appear to be well in control.

Gladiator Cat

I'm so freaking insanely happy with this hire. There is literally not a living room these guys won't be able to go into with a real shot to land some serious top tier players.

I would imagine the current players are beyond excited.

Gladiator Cat

After much thought and research I can now say if Ken Nuimatalolo is our coach, I'm fully on board. We're all wildcats at heart. He and the team will get my full support as this journey unfolds and we will all see together if he can find the magic at Arizona. If he is the guy I hope the team rallies ...

Gladiator Cat

So let me get this right. We're about to bring in a coach that has zero west coast ties, zero west coast recruiting experience and zero west/south west coaching connections. And to top it off hes going to bring and outdated, obsolete, triple option run scheme and try to run that shit up against the ...

Gladiator Cat

Not to be over dramatic but in my eyes, Arizona football is in a dark place right now. We've never been a gleaming example of success except for a few years over the decades, but the lack of general drawing power and apathy just permeates the program. We're like a schizophrenic fish out of water wi...

Has anyone heard from Cordera since the RR firing? I would love his take on the hiring process. If he doesn’t show up again, any thoughts as to whether Cordera may have actually been RR all along?

I would imagine that the Sumlin train has left the station or is at-least warming up. My take is Sumlin doesn't really want the Arizona job, but would take it for couple of years if it was stupid money thrown at him. We don't have stupid money to throw at anyone. At the end of the day the UofA is go...

Gladiator Cat

Yes RR got the full package as far as I know. He's got nothing to bitch about as far as compensation.

Gladiator Cat

Wood being a legacy recruit hurts a bit, but all of them are completely replaceable.

Gladiator Cat

Sumlin isn’t a done deal But it’s very close. He wants to bring someone in who is a little higher on the scale. They’re trying to work that out. As O coordinator? Keeping Yates? Mazzone and Yates is what I heard if it goes through. Chief, If Heeke can pull this off by hiring Sumlin and Mazzone and ...

Gladiator Cat

Chief has said in the past Heeke was in over his head. If he pulls this off I think we can confidently lay that to rest.

I'm skeptical he can pull it off, but anything is possible.

Gladiator Cat

If Heeke actually pulls off a Sumlin hire I will be truly impressed. Sumlin would be a Grand Slam type hire.

Talk about getting Wildcat Football Nation excited again.
