Shane makes a great point.

People have a hard time admitting they are wrong or made a mistake.

It's why very few people have credibility these days. (I say these days because I'm now and old fart who has made plenty of mistakes).

It's also the same people who took the longest to put AZ in their top 10... because they couldn't have a team rise that high who wasn't in their pre-season top 25.

Right because their narrative can't be wrong otherwise people would know they are a bunch of frauds...

Unfortunately their is no clause in Tommy's contract for conference or national COY awards. There should be. If our admin was decent they would amend and update. At a minimum I figured he would get about 320K in bonuses.

My credibility is entirely due to being wrong constantly. It's off the charts.

I have found that many more people believe me when I say I was wrong than when I claim to have been right, so I lie a lot these days so that people will believe me. ;)

I think it's simpler to ponder the necessary conditions for the possibility of a married man ever to be right. Since they are non-existent ..... you have an elegant example of nothingness.

But that leads to the question of divorce. Is it a negation of a negative possibility? Is it creation itself?

Tommy's success in year one is going to pay HUGE dividends. Boswell is just the beginning. You put a guy like this at AZ, and we're going to be trending towards Lute-levels of success before too long. NCAA sanctions be damned.

Where I think this style and success is going to really benefit us is in the portal next year. Some D1 sharpshooter is saying "the way those guys play I could easily get 20 a game from deep". They celebrate success and are serious about development and winning.

I think it's likely we take one from the portal and I think the above is likely as well - Tommy should get the pick of the litter with his style of play, how this team is performing, and how "together" this young group already feels.

Certainly not a big unless Zu leaves for some crazy reason. Even if we lose Koloko (which I think we ought to, given he has a chance to go in the first this draft and will likely be seen as too old in the following at 23)... even if we lose Koloko, there's still Ballo and Anderson and the Euro.

On the wing we'd still have Pelle and Terry plus Bal and Nowell if they can step up next season.

I'd say a combo guard would be most important - a guy who can play the one or the two and can shoot and create for others. We're for sure losing Kier to graduation and we have no backup PG coming in right now to replace those minutes. I don't see enough out of the Bal/Nowell combo to slot them in there. Maybe we get a reclass of Boswell to take those minutes but that's a lot to ask of a 17 year old even if he does. So I'd like to see a back-up PG. I think Pelle and Terry and Kerr and Zu and one of Koloko or Ballo or Euro are clear starters so grabbing a guy who wants to start is probably not the answer. So yeah: back-up combo guard / PG would be my pick.

Some D1 sharpshooter is saying "the way those guys play I could easily get 20 a game from deep". They celebrate success and are serious about development and winning.
I think it's likely we take one from the portal and I think the above is likely as well - Tommy should get the pick of the litter with his style of play, how this team is performing, and how "together" this young group already feels.
feels most likely to be a wing right? unless we don't land the euro big
Certainly not a big unless Zu leaves for some crazy reason. Even if we lose Koloko (which I think we ought to, given he has a chance to go in the first this draft and will likely be seen as too old in the following at 23)... even if we lose Koloko, there's still Ballo and Anderson and the Euro.

On the wing we'd still have Pelle and Terry plus Bal and Nowell if they can step up next season.

I'd say a combo guard would be most important - a guy who can play the one or the two and can shoot and create for others. We're for sure losing Kier to graduation and we have no backup PG coming in right now to replace those minutes. I don't see enough out of the Bal/Nowell combo to slot them in there. Maybe we get a reclass of Boswell to take those minutes but that's a lot to ask of a 17 year old even if he does. So I'd like to see a back-up PG. I think Pelle and Terry and Kerr and Zu and one of Koloko or Ballo or Euro are clear starters so grabbing a guy who wants to start is probably not the answer. So yeah: back-up combo guard / PG would be my pick.
Pending on what goes down with Boswell, don’t be surprised to see Bal fill the Kier role next year.

Interested to see if Bal can put on weight. Guys like Boogie would push him all over the court.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?
