Re: Let's talk '25
Well that's some exciting news.
Koa would be the best recruit we've landed for a while.

I think all the nil money that C Love is getting this year will go to Koa next year

Then that may not bode so well for landing him?ChooChooCat wrote: ↑Tue Sep 03, 2024 3:11 pmArizona isn't going to give that much NIL to a non-proven player. He'll get paid for sure, but he's not going to get C Love money in year 1.

Nah, not necessarily. NIL is important for this recruitment, but you don't have to be the highest bidder to land a guy.Beachcat97 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 03, 2024 8:58 pmThen that may not bode so well for landing him?ChooChooCat wrote: ↑Tue Sep 03, 2024 3:11 pmArizona isn't going to give that much NIL to a non-proven player.

Re: Let's talk '25
UA didn't make the cut
Re: Let's talk '25
Pretty interesting! We go from being the leader to not even making the Top 6. ASU! Seriously!

Hurley has a good amount of money to spend at the moment and he's trying to get a quality liferaft outside of Tempe ASAP.Beachcat97 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 06, 2024 11:01 amI don't get ASU either. They recruit very well, even as their program continues to fail. Reminds me of Romar at UW.
I think this kid ends up at USC or KU.
Re: Let's talk '25
I am afraid that we are starting to see the full effect of NIL on AZ basketball recruiting. We just can't afford to stay up with the Jones's.
I think that Lloyds recruiting strategy is going to involve more lower rated 4 stars that are not being pursued by the $monied$ SEC/B1G programs with a healthy dose of international players sprinkled in. We will probably have enough money to chase only 1 or 2 top players each year.

Re: Let's talk '25
I'd just look at the transfer portal for mid-major players. With all the one and dones, and unlimited transfers by players, why waste any time on developing freshmen?
Keep looking at Euros of course, just don't make them the core of the program.
UA obviously doesn't have the NIL money KU does, but Self is really killing it with transfers.

Re: Let's talk '25
I agree that the Portal is going to play an ever important role in filling out the roster, but thats largely going to resemble the HS recruiting scene. The better players are going to portal to the B1G/SEC schools with the +100MM in yearly TV revenue. I hope the fans don't start calling for Lloyds head......theres not a thing he can do about it. Its all about $$$$$$$$$$ and the poor ole UA doesn't have that.Merkin wrote: ↑Thu Sep 12, 2024 1:25 pm I'd just look at the transfer portal for mid-major players.

I am still holding out slim hopes for Congress to step in and place guardrails on the whole NIL system and restore some form of amateur status to the College game. College football/Bball are now little more than Semi-Pro leagues and the UA will never compete effectively in that environment.

Yup. SEC congressmen are going to vote in a block.

Re: Let's talk '25
This is an east coast guy. Not sure how many true east coasters we've gotten recently, or at least in the Lloyd era. Bradley's from NY, but he transferred in.dmjcat wrote: ↑Thu Sep 12, 2024 12:50 pm I am afraid that we are starting to see the full effect of NIL on AZ basketball recruiting.

Re: Let's talk '25
If you want to land a guy like this (Top 50ish from the east coast) you better get on him early. We got on him late, which has been the norm for Tommy Lloyd, so yeah what else could you expect?dmjcat wrote: ↑Thu Sep 12, 2024 12:50 pm I am afraid that we are starting to see the full effect of NIL on AZ basketball recruiting.

Re: Let's talk '25
I have some real concerns about the impact of NIL on us but to say that we will never be able to complete effectively might be a little dramatic. Top 30 in revenue is pretty good. It could also mean our ceiling is top 25.dmjcat wrote: ↑Thu Sep 12, 2024 1:36 pmI agree that the Portal is going to play an ever important role in filling out the roster, but thats largely going to resemble the HS recruiting scene.
