He's supposed to be a UCLA lean, but that's just internet stuff. I'd rely more on the insiders. He also had Cal, Colorado and SC there at the end, so he has plenty of Pac options.Beachcat97 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 2:08 pmAny chance of Simpson recommiting?

UCLA appears to currently be one over the scholarship limit, assuming Johnny returns - at par if he elects for the draft (which he ought to).Spaceman Spiff wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 3:09 pmHe's supposed to be a UCLA lean, but that's just internet stuff.

who's Juzang? who are you talking about, I don't see him on any Arizona Roster, plus Arizona wasn't in the Tourney, they were Self Banned!BeardownZonaZona wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 4:16 pm Juzang should go pro. He's likely a first round pick. The way he just played in the tourney might have just gotten him the highest draft stock he can possibly have. He should go. Not saying that as a homer, but he likely isn't going to have higher draft stock and is a first round pick. He's a good kid and deserves to make some cash
That weakens their prospects considerably for next season if he leaves. He made just about every big shot they needed in the tourney. Still a lot of other good players on that roster, but Juzang was their killer. They're much more vulnerable if he's gone.BeardownZonaZona wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 4:16 pm Juzang should go pro.

Is that even ethical since he has not been released yet?Spaceman Spiff wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 4:35 pmhttps://mobile.twitter.com/RyanSilver1/ ... 1335427072NickyBCats wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 4:11 pm Simpson hasn’t decommitted.

Reopen your recruitment, decommit, whatever the words are.
Well, he got released 9 min after you posted...Merkin wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 4:40 pmIs that even ethical since he has not been released yet?Spaceman Spiff wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 4:35 pmhttps://mobile.twitter.com/RyanSilver1/ ... 1335427072NickyBCats wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 4:11 pm Simpson hasn’t decommitted.

Zaga didn't even offer Miller to my knowledge. If Sean Miller was still here, I'd think we were in good shape, but zero idea if Lloyd has any connection.gronk4heisman wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 5:10 pm Transfers Marcus Carr (if he returns) and Adam Miller should be at the top of our priority list along with TyTy.

A girl can hope.Spaceman Spiff wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 2:07 pmAin't too many TJ's in basketball at any level.
I remember when people thought he was a poor man's Aaron Craft. Now he's a 5 year NBA vet who repeatedly has demonstrated he's one of the more underrated guys in the league.
That's a good sign.
Yes, Kerr too.IndianaZonaFan wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 12:35 pmTyty fit better for Lloyd? I haven’t had a chance to watch him or really watch Lloyds system.ChooChooCat wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 12:10 pm I just don't think Akinjo fits the type of PG that Lloyd's offense needs. He's a much better fit for Miller.
Agreed. I wasnt sure Lloyd would be on Ballo, but if it keeps Benn around im fine with it. Nice to have a guy who already somewhat knows the system.Spaceman Spiff wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 8:16 pm He seems very, very close to what Jordan Brown and especially Koloko bring. Hard to imagine the 3 of them working out together.
Well the interior definitely has enough bodies especially if you include Anderson in 2022TucsonClip wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 8:20 pmAgreed.

All three are 5's that need to be 5's. Especially Ballo and Koloko aren't playing anything but the 5.TucsonClip wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 8:20 pmAgreed.

Honestly, I think Koloko is better than Ballo, but it's just tough to see the 3 having minutes to share. Still a lot to figure out.
A ton of size on the roster is a GOOD problem to have.Spaceman Spiff wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 8:40 pmAll three are 5's that need to be 5's.

Sorta feel like there's a criticism to be made of Miller here. Ayton and Ristic were both very good college players. That team should've been better, imo.Spaceman Spiff wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 9:02 pmLike when we tried to play Ayton and Ristic together in 17-18?Beachcat97 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 8:48 pmA ton of size on the roster is a GOOD problem to have.Spaceman Spiff wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 8:40 pmAll three are 5's that need to be 5's.

Dunno man, 3 true C's is a tough puzzle to work.

More concerned on our guard situation. Hope we hear good news on that soon,
every team involved in the FBI thing got hammered by the selection committee, I remember it was very clear at the time that it was intentionalU.P. Zona Fan wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 3:15 am That team was really good, it's just that buffalo was underseeded and played a really good game. When we drew them I was nervous. Massinburg was a star and he did whatever he wanted and we had no answer!! Oats is a great coach.
That is how I have chosen to deal with that one.
Just like, say, losing to floppy haired steve nash. Cried for days, took years to be able to justify that loss.
Edit:
That matchup made me wonder if the selection committee had it out for us with the fbi/espn garbage. It seemed like that was the team seeded 8 or lower that year that was most likely to give us trouble. Now I look at the bracket and ask myself which games does the committee want to be upsets in the first round.
