Transfer Possibilities

Post by AZOO7 »

Forgive me if there’s already an outlet for this topic.

Ballo is in. Alright.

Adam Miller - Are we in on him? Has to be highly sought after and if he were to land in Tucson we would be infinitely better than last season... So long as the guys we all want to return do in fact return.

We're not in on Miller.

There is one other transfer we're in on, but I can't comment on him yet.

Can you generally tell us why?

A "fit" issue?

Hopefully we are pulling the thread on Marcus Carr, Jalen Pickett or Devante Jones. Definitely need same backcourt help even if Kerr comes back and we add Tyty.

Tyty
Kerr
Benn
Tubelis
Koloko

Brown
Terry
T. Tubelis
Gorener
Ballo
Aiken
Nowell
Dezonie


That’s a full roster. Adding another transfer requires not retaining/getting someone or losing someone on this list.

Think he has his eyes elsewhere, plus Miller was close with Miller. There’s no relationship with Lloyd.

Choo, let’s say we land Ty and Kerr returns, do you think we’ll take another guard as well?

I cry a little inside. Akinjo, Kerr, Terry, Mathurin, Tubelis, Jordan Brown and Koloko plus Adam Miller and Aiken would be close to my ideal 9 man roster.

I know, Sean Miller is gone and things are what they are. It's just hard not to think the above roster would have been achievable with him and damn, that would have been stacked.

Choo does such a great job, thx a bunch. Feels like you must have lunch everyday with the recruiting coordinators.

Lots of production lost if JA leaves but I won’t miss seeing him pound the ball into the floor all the time

Fuuuuuuuck - multiple ball handlers, multiple three point shooters, multiple switchable wing defenders, and good variety and depth of post play. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

Multiple point guards. Ability to go big/small in multiple ways. The ability to be big without sacrificing shooting or small without sacrificing rebounding. The two new guys being stout defenders to help address our main weakness...

That roster has about all you could reasonably hope for.

There’s a few options on the table now. I have no idea where we are on any of them or how many we would even take when it boils down to it. There are still things to be decided, namely with the Shanes. There’s also normal 2021 guys (freshmen) who are on the table as well.

Better yet, I would like to hear Walton correct Dave Pasch's pronunciation of it.
