relax -- Sean Miller is a Witch

*hugs 97*

I'm convinced that 97 is Miller himself.

Hey 97, not to split hairs but shouldn't that be 'Miller is a Warlock' or 'Wizard' instead?

Seriously though, I think I may just sign up for the Cal board if we get Rabb.....I'm sure I'll get banned immediately for any innocuous post when they have their meltdown.

Only time I've been banned is from the Shiver the day Tarc committed and some posters were wishing he'd tear his ACL.....I suggested politley that they might not want to say this for recruiting purposes and was banned immediately and called a bad name. What a bunch of sore, classless losers!

Bear Down on Rabb making the best call for his future and becoming a Wildcat!

In 97cats we TRUST....

You calling Sean Miller an ugly hag? I'll kick your ass, man.

Not me. Merriam-Webster.

If you were an organization with a Twitter account that had 1000 followers (which you could get in about a day if you really tried), and you wanted to make a splash, you call your shot on something like this. If it works you say you knew all along. If it doesn't something changed, or you just delete the tweets and say it never happened. It's the same shit pointguardu has been doing for years.

Rabb may yet commit to Cal but some rinky-dink website isn't going to be the one to scoop everyone.

I'll kick his ass too.

Coming soon, I guess. So, either knows who is leaving Arizona, or doesn't care, or is going to Cal.

In terms of twitter tea leaf reading, this is hard. No punctuation, decent spelling and grammar and proper use of ellipses. ****, maybe it means he's going to Cal, they have smart people there!

Highlighted to show there is room for outliers. Or perhaps, even one outlier, one Coach Sean E. Miller.

If Rabb were going to commit to Cal he would have already done so IMO (or will do so very shortly).
There would be no reason to delay the decision.

The fact that he's been waiting indicates that he's considering AZ/UK and waiting to see who turns pro.

The "do what's best" (which means come to my school) responses are entertaining.

Tweeting teens you've never met. Good times.

Kentucky = zero chance

Any chance he commits before April, 97?

If Rabb is truly waiting to see who leaves, what is everybody's odds on our starting five getting first-round guarantees?

Mine:
T.J. McConnell = 5 %
Stanley Johnson = 100 %
Rondae-Hollis Jefferson = 85 %
Brandon Ashley = 60 %
Kaleb Tarczewski = 45 %

KT is better off returning. TJ is a late 2nd rounder at best, but will probably get some free agent invites.

Agreed, the longer the better. Rabb could have been a catalyst for Cal.

TJ McConnell is not an NBA player.

SJ 100%
RHJ 75%
BA 35%
KT 60%

Beachcat97 wrote:TJ McConnell is not an NBA player.

That's what everyone thought of Steve Kerr, and he lasted 10+ seasons.

And TJ's a better assist man than Steve. Even Billy Donovan had a cup of coffee in the league...don't count TJ out.

For those of you who say Zeus has no chance of getting a first-round guarantee, do you still think he and Ashley are leaving after this season?

Ashley = yes (after tournament MVP performance)
Zeus = maybe (Merkin thinks not)

If Kaleb blows up in the Dance like Ashley has the last three games, or even close to it as is physically possible for him, he's going to be severely tempted to take off. The NBA is in love with the height and the space taken up of players like him, even if the skills never pan out.

I'd like to dream of Zeus coming back and playing alongside Rabb, but I think we're all going to be brought crashing back to earth in early April, as 97cats alludes to.

Guy at a bar Saturday compared TJ to Jason Kidd. I thought it was a pretty damn good comparison

Arizona's starting five = gonzo

Really? I would need a lot of alcohol before that made sense.

That same guy compared Bryce Alford to Jerry West.

Kidd, an elite athlete. T.J. would need Nick's athleticism for that to be true.

Beahcat, Never say never with TJ. Despite his physical limitations (6'1, average quickness by NBA guard standards) and his low shooting release, Andre Miller has had a long, solid NBA career despite only having an inch on TJ (pause) and not having great quickness himself. TJ is a great distributor and plays tough defense. He will struggle with quicker points but he wouldn't be the only point in the NBA who does. I highly doubt he goes on draft day, but I am certain he has caught the eyes of several GMs who like what he brings to the table in terms of effort, determination and ethic, leadership, etc. in addition to his game. He has a really good shot at signing as a free agent and being a D league player and from there, who knows.

Remember, this is a guy who did a damn good job on Delon Wright, who Nba gms love and is a really tough guy to guard

Don't you think the game has changed since Kerr's day? Even Lute would not have taken Kerr 3 years later. Don't see too many elite Div I teams with 2 slow white boys in the backcourt.

And to grow 3-4 inches. Physically, it just isn't a comparison. Other than both being good passers, they really have nothing in common. It's like comparing TJ to Magic because they could both pass a bit.

Tj could get a cup of coffee in the league. I think he'll spend two or three years on one or two different teams as a backup point guard and then probably leave for coaching

Craft is in the D-League. I'm hoping TJM comes back as a grad assistant ------> assistant rather soon. He's a coach IMO.

97,

Any way Tarc can be reasoned with or does he just want out of the program? He's a stash guy if picked at all.

If az does what they think they will do this Tournament, it's a foregone conclusion.

Enjoying the ride and hoping for the best for all these great players and coaches. I know if they are hsppy, we will be too

So Michael Wright redux x2 with Bash and Tarc. Bummer.

I'm not sure he stands to gain much in draft stock by returning. Ristic would probably cut into his minutes more, and what attracts the NBA to him isn't changeable.

Can always bunk with Jerrett.

yes to a point but both Tarc and Ashley's stock currently is higher than at any point for Wright with the HUGE opportunity to play themselves into even better position with a great NCAA Tournament.

If Tarc can get where he wants to, I think it is a good idea to move forward for both sides. He is a good defender but I don't see him getting significantly better for next year. If Rustic can do the Frosh-Soph jump and start to "get it" on defense with the other options, lets go.

I could see TJ playing in the league. And RHJ is a guaranteed first-rounder, no doubt.

This team is on a mission I love it.

Given your unenviable track record when it comes to making predictions, I would think you'd have given up by now. Better to remain silent and appear a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

Michael Wright who was a shade over 6'6", could not dribble or jump over a phone book, and did not return because Lute would not promise to give him time developing his skills as a 3? Otherwise, it' like deja vu.

Wright was one hell of a college BB player, better over his career than either Ash or Tarc have been - but his situation is nothing like those 2.

There's always Iraq.
