Lavin is a good guy, terrible coach. Still much better than Alford, though, so there's that.Merkin wrote:Lute always liked Lavin, remember when he intentionally lost to Lavin's UCLA PAC tourney team when Lavin was about to get fired?

More likely, we need an extra wing without BWill. With BWill, time wasn't really there. Without him, that extra MPG is valuable.Merkin wrote:Guess he wants to play before the hammer comes down.

Missed his freshman season with a knee injury and the start of his sophomore season with the same - struggled throughout his sophomore year to play healthy. Doesn't fit the letter of the law for a medical exception though, which is that the athlete has a season ending injury prior to the completion of 30% of the games for the prior season (Baker had his injury before the season began and attempted to come back and play through it - flipped timeline and played for more than 30% of the games, though sparingly for most). Had Baker sat out last season, he would have been eligible for the two year non-participation exception.Beachcat97 wrote:Not sure already mentioned, but Baker is filing a waiver asking for immediate eligibility.

Is there an immediate eligibility exception for consecutive medical redshirts? Otherwise, extra years for medical redshirts are only granted at the exhaustion of eligibility. Or at least they used to be.YoDeFoe wrote:Missed his freshman season with a knee injury and the start of his sophomore season with the same - struggled throughout his sophomore year to play healthy.

Can't see this getting approved. Would be much appreciate for depth at ball handling, perimeter shooting, and defense.
Mentioned it awhile ago my man. No reason to be optimistic or pessimistic about it yet.Beachcat97 wrote:Not sure already mentioned, but Baker is filing a waiver asking for immediate eligibility.

Yes, he would probably start at the 2 if eligible and provide another option at the 1 when Nico is on the bench.Beachcat97 wrote:Let's say Baker's eligible immediately. Is he good enough to get big minutes this season? Would he be our third best guard?
I've seen very little footage of Baker, certainly not enough to have a strong opinion on his prospects.
Yes, he would have a good role. He had a 10-15 mpg role on a Kentucky team that made a good tourney run last year. He would at least do the same for us.Beachcat97 wrote:Let's say Baker's eligible immediately. Is he good enough to get big minutes this season? Would he be our third best guard?

Frustrating. Last season sucked, sure, but this is a heck of a team we have here and they deserve our support.Jefe wrote:Over 500 Red Blue tickets available still. Top 2 rows are available in lots of upper sections. Can't remember the last time it didn't sell out

Any time you can gain a player which would make Dylan Smith see more minutes on the bench it's big news.Beachcat97 wrote:Wow. So it's potentially big news if he's eligible.

Untrue. I traveled into the past to supply quotes for the article, but your article was printed before I bent the space time continuum, and is thus flawed.Longhorned wrote:September 25, 2019
TUCSON - On the eve of the eve of the annual Red-Blue event at the McKale Center, rumors have circulated that YoDeFoe plans on starting a "This Year... 2019-20" thread in order to transition from the "Next Year... 2019-20" thread, whose very title no longer bears a logical correspondence to ongoing conversations about the current season.

In the journal Shit, one team of scientists has published a model showing how the Cherry Avenue parking garage could become a vortex that tears apart time itself. Spaceman Spiff did not respond to requests for comment.
It's a throwback to classes like AG, RHJ and York. Talented guys, but also hard workers and team guys. It's too bad we might only get a single year from Nico, Green and Zeke all.Alieberman wrote:I think our freshmen group is going to be a special group and fan favorites.

I'm guessing your "source" was Merkin. That guy loves to talk (judging by the amount of posts he has here)

Who are we practicing against?Under Sean Miller, the Red-Blue Game has typically taken place two or three weeks into full practices. The move to an earlier date, just two days after the Wildcats are eligible to begin full practices, will allow the Wildcats to attract recruits earlier to watch the event and give the current team an entire month of privacy before its Nov. 1 exhibition game with Chico State (UA will play a closed scrimmage in late October).
