Re: Kylan Boswell
Boswell has no cards in his hands, and no drink of front of him. Don't see a problem.
Boswell not having that sophomore bump will make him less desirable on the transfer portal, his chance of leaving is pretty close to nil.

Re: Kylan Boswell
So glad to hear Boz will be back at the point next year. I was worried for a bit.

Re: Kylan Boswell
No doubt sees the writing on the wall. Gotta hurt going back on the bench as junior.
Re: Kylan Boswell
You never know for sure how someone will develop. I'm sure Boswell will be fine wherever he goes.

Kylan has been an easy player to like both seasons, and is definitely a good individual.Postmaster wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 11:02 pm I took it more as “CTL is going to find me a sports psychologist so I can get out of my own head.”
But, he has significant consistency deficits, and has hit a ceiling lower than any of us expected. I place him as being behind Jaden for starting PG heading into the off season.

Re: Kylan Boswell
Won’t be surprised if he transfers. Post game he mentioned getting better and seeing what comes in the future.
Re: Kylan Boswell
Rumor had it that Arizona was a 2-season plan for Boswell and then off to the NBA.
I can not remember ever seeing a PG who had as many no shows as Boswell. It was a thing that I found/find difficult to explain. And he started every game (and I believe every 2nd half) the entire season.
I understand that the reclass was as much for rehab and S&C as anything but I am beginning to sour on dudes going this route.

Re: Kylan Boswell
If he stays and don’t ride pine, I’m afraid we will lose Bradley. Wonder if Tommy is looking at portal for another PG.
Re: Kylan Boswell
I hope he goes nowhere. He has struggled in the latter part of the season by let's not forget that two games ago he scored 20 in the tournament. Percentage wise I think he is still our top 3 point shooter but could be wrong. We had shots just couldn't make them.

Re: Kylan Boswell
I think it would benefit Boswell and the UofA if he went somewhere else next year. He needs to start fresh and forget about this past year.

Re: Kylan Boswell
Boz has that choice available, and it is HIS choice to make.
But, unless and until he makes such a choice, we, as fans, should support him as a 'Cat 100%. He's given his best to us for two years, and he deserves our loyalty!!
Ever hear of this: "Bear Down!!!!"???

Re: Kylan Boswell
Not sure if Kerr had that choice. And he did gave his best for three and two under Tommy.
Re: Kylan Boswell
Kriisa had, and exercised that choice - IMNSHO, he saw the "handwriting on the wall", and didn't want to be a non-starter in his next season.
And, I, for one, supported him strongly throughout.

Re: Kylan Boswell
Not going to look it up now, but thought early seasons projections had him going lottery, maybe 8th-10th, and mid-season projections had him falling to 28th-30th.
Expect now he has played himself out of the first round.
There was at least one game where Bradley or Lewis started the 2nd half after a dismal first half by Boswell.
From what I read, it was a mutual decision.
Not like Lute ever told a player not to come back.

And second round
Re: Kylan Boswell
His ups and downs have been something this year, that is for sure.
I hope he sticks around and can find some consistency. I don't know if that shoulder dislocation was bothering him or something else was - but his shot seemed flat/short quite a bit the past few weeks.
I wouldn't want to lose JB by keeping him though...

Re: Kylan Boswell
It's a weird situation for sure. I wanted to see if Martinez was good enough to be a rotational guard next year but Tommy never gave him enough burn to see what kind of ceiling he has. One thing's for sure, Boswell is likely gonna have to ride the pine or transfer. We need a guard that LEADS day in and day out. That's why you come to Arizona, to win FF's and play on the biggest stage.
Re: Kylan Boswell
Same here, there were a handful of games where Martinez got some burn in normal gametime and looked promising. Would have been nice to see a bit more to better understand where he might fit next season.RawleArenas wrote: ↑Fri Mar 29, 2024 8:57 am It's a weird situation for sure.

100% on Boz, we can't have the on-court general being a blackhole or riding pine for most of the game

Re: Kylan Boswell
Same with Filip B too, who had an incredible off season and yet barely played walk on minutes for Arizona. Paulius M also did not get many minutes. I have no insider knowledge, but expect at least Filip and Veesar to transfer. Martinez is probably looking around too.RawleArenas wrote: ↑Fri Mar 29, 2024 8:57 am It's a weird situation for sure.

Re: Kylan Boswell
Flip might be a little slow and don’t play D as well. Then again the team wasn’t really good D last night. Paulius should have been brought in for a min to see if you could break the 3 drought
Re: Kylan Boswell
So for example, minutes adama ball got, was that just enough for them to say “we’ve seen enough”, or just a small sample size (minutes played) results in a kid transferring? Like I get you want them to develop (fili b, paulius), but how does that come with (lack of) playing time? , practice time aside.

Re: Kylan Boswell
Less we all forget he was great the first third of a year. He lost his confidence somewhere and was tentative after that. I pray he comes back because his defense was pretty good most of the year and we need him.
Re: Kylan Boswell
Why do we need him? Bradley far outplayed him most of the year and we can get a back up PG AND bring Martinez along much quicker. It also will allow us to get a 2 that can strike it. Hopefully a bit more consistently than Boz or Love did.
I would hate to lose Bradley because Boz came back so if he does he needs to know his minutes as the starting PG are gone

Re: Kylan Boswell
He looked disinterested during many of the games he played poorly in. But I may be reading his body language incorrectly.
He had flashes of excellent defense this year and I think that’s where Tommy should have advised him to fall back on. Play tough D and get some turnovers for quick transition points, whether he’s the one taking the shot or distributing it to the open guy.
He’s a starting PG IF he plays balls out D.
I will see you there, or I will see you on another time

I'm content with Bradley, Boz and Martinez...
And, I strongly affirm that there should NOT be any encouragement for Arizona coaches, fans or boosters for Boz to transfer.
BTFD!!!! (like you actually understand and mean it!!!!)

Re: Kylan Boswell
I'd still take Boz. I like him but he'd have to give his starting position to Bradley imo.
He could maybe/hopefully be better off the bench with way less pressure on his shoulders. He was very solid his freshman year off the bench with his intensity. Right now all his problems are between the ears.
We'll have to wait and see.
Maybe Bill Walton knows a medicine man he can go see.
