Bear Down Wildcats

I think its what Chi has, Froling. I also think we look to add either a graduate transfer or a high level, wait a year transfer. I think coach likes this as he brings in experience to mesh with the younger guys

Be cool to have a guy named Harry.

Or Loyd.

Even coolerer.

Continued cons: Unable to tell if a toilet works. Brutally rejected by Freda Felcher. Poor sense of direction.

More pros: Able to discern the rockiness of mountains. Recognizes the redemptive power in his friends. Handled Sea Bass with a restroom door and nothing else.

More cons: Thinks it's possible to drive 1/6th of the way across the country in just a few hours. Wears skis indoors. Can't handle a healthy serving of turbo lax. Allowed Mary to touch his leg.

More pros: Wears the shit out of a blue tuxedo and has Jedi-light-saber-type skills with a cane. Can hold on really tight while riding on the back of a limo. Isn't shy about peeing in public

I know it's wrong but talk like this makes me 'sport wood'! Lol.....

Seriously though, not sure / don't know much about Alkins or his personality but his comments right after Simmons commit kind of rubbed me the wrong way......something to the effect of 'Yeah, Simmons and I played together in all these tourneys, but I was the MVP and I'll get mine...' or similar to this......concerned about him buying into the team first concept.

Again, don't know much BUT I do know if Miller and Co. are chasing him and land him then I trust them and want him too. Bear Down and beat Furd & Cal!!

Bangkok, I got the same vibe, although I fully admit I don't know Alkins. It was the MVP comment and that sometimes Arizona texts too much and sometimes not enough, so he told them he doesn't like that. Just a little high maintenance.

I have no real idea, though.

Rawle Alkins not yet. Appears to be looking elsewhere. But you never know... Miller, Book and Kobi might be able to work a little more magic.

How can you take that seriously when a week ago we were at about 2% with Kobi and in there it doesn't even list Arizona as interested. The 247 sports "Crystal Ball" is worthless. Until, of course, the recruit has committed and then they nail it down

Look at it this way. If you were asked by a reporter if you are worried about playing time if you were to commit to School A because player x committed to school A, how would you answer that question? If you felt you were better would you say that? Or would you say something more like what Rawle said?

I don't see what this has to do with Josh Jackson, and I find myself having difficulty caring about anyone but him. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Do we have a "Let's talk '17" thread or do we not do that until after the '16 class is set?

I ask because I'm curious about DeAndre Ayton. Dude would be coming in literally at the perfect time and, with a guy who is the #1 recruit who is also from Arizona it would be a shame if we lost him to a Kentucky or Duke. However, I guess I feel like I never hear about us being in it for him. Any insight?

Also it's crazy how many of the top 20-30 recruits we are in on for the '17 class. This staff just never quits.

Jackson, Froling, transfer(s), end of class.

I remember the feature they did on him as an Uber driver.

His post-up game isn't too shabby either.

bada-bing!

Stainbrook? Is that even fair?

Pretty sure he's used up his eligibility.

Just because that happened two years ago is no reason to give up.

Haha thanks Jefe I am internet challenged when it comes to posting tweets/youtube videos on this board

click the ... on the tweet, hit copy link to tweet, then click the tweet button here and paste

Its been pretty quiet on Froling. Im gonna go out on a limb, with no insider knowledge whatsoever, and say he's not ours

Guessing he picks SMU since it's easier to use the bathroom.

Besides his sisters going there and playing for a HOF coach.

Well whaddya know, I'm finally cool! ^^^ This is how we're judging that, right?

Is Froling a project or a player we'd expect to get minutes next year?

Beachcat97 wrote:Is Froling a project or a player we'd expect to get minutes next year?

He's the white guy.

https://youtu.be/atUTpFMRlOI" target="_blank

Now, I consider myself an expert in player evaluation from mixtapes. I would peg him as a guy who could use a good weight training program and a developmental year similar to Dusan's freshman year.

Will Larry Brown even be breathing when this recruiting class arrives on campus?

Thanks Spaceman.....so it looks like it's mainly either us or SMU where his twin sisters go according to 247 Sports....or Illinois and Colorado.

Ooh, the British spelling of "centre." Jolly good show.

I get the whole sisters angle, but the chances of Larry Brown being gone and/or again sanctioned before your four years are up is probably fairly high there The programs and facilities themselves, no comparison.

He will be 76 before the 2016 season starts.

Some of us were making comments about Cal's yellow out for our game saying Arizona doesn't need those kind of gimmicks. Well.........

What time is Froling announcing?
