It's going to be alright guys. I fully expect a commitment from Adama Bal this weekend. We will start Plan B and could very well back into a damn good point guard
Adama Bal I would not expect to play more than 5 MPG this year unless he has improved a lot. At this point we appear to be hoping for luck, which as a Wildcat fan has been nonexistent the last decade.
Bal is far from the only we’re going to land. We will have a quality plan B here for PG as well.

Bal's not gonna replace Tyty. He's a decent developmental prospect, but...well, that seems more like a replacement for the roles Simpson and/or Dezonie would have had.

Guys I already said if we land a PG through the portal it’ll be a guy that’s currently not in said portal.
So we're basically going to poach a guy still on roster.
Guess we shouldn't complain when someone tampers with one of ours.

I’m not saying that’s for sure going to happen, but it’s known on the market that Arizona is looking for a starting PG and can dish out 30ish minutes per game. Some quality guy would absolutely be interested in that situation and would reach out, hell they may already have.

Yeah it sucks, what can you do though? We’ve only recruited him for about 3 weeks. This isn’t like losing a guy that you invested massive amounts of time into.

It's a good point. Think I'm just looking ahead to next season and not feeling super enthused about our roster situation. But I definitely hear you about the PG situation and how it shouldn't be too hard of a sell.

Heard some good stuff about a potential plan B the staff has mentioned previously
Wouldn’t hurt my feelings if it’s him. Not sure exactly what the situation is though. Feels like a guy we should we able to land if we push for it though.

If he's a possibility you have to go all out for him. I thought I read somewhere before that he wanted to explore the ncaa option but the pandemic messed that plan up a bit. Would he a great pickup and we have a lot of connections to him that can help

More names will come into the portal. We'll be fine. Sahvir Wheeler is still out there. Marcus Carr is going through the nba process but I doubt he stays and he'd probably be the best option, he's a proven star. More names will see us looking for point guards and jump in the portal. We'll have options. Always the possibility of trying to snag a euro point guard. I don't think our roster will be set until July or August in all honesty. There's going to be a ton of quality players jumping in the portal in the summer. Lots of great options
I don't think he was an option for Arizona but looks like he's going to ku

Hi Chicat, those were some photos. If she put what I thought she put in you-know-which-coach's potato, he might be in the batting cage a while. Might not even notice his point guard is driving to Tucson.

It's reasonable to assume there are some players out there waiting to see what happens with Washington's decision and once that announcement is made, they'll act accordingly. If he doesn't choose Arizona -- then a player can see the PT available in Tucson and begin the process. Why jump in the transfer portal early if you aren't entirely sure the grass is indeed greener on the other side?

Haha, I was told a week after Arizona played Duquesne that their PG McConnell was a done deal to transfer to Arizona. I was told to keep it quiet all year. I will never complain about others tampering ever again.

He’s going G League and has been for a long time.
I agree he is going G League, doesn't mean he cant commit to UK first and then later say he is officially going G League and throw a wrench in things. Then again Tyty could do the same thing and we will have dodged a bullet.

I mean, I disagree, but I can only fight so hard over Jordan Brown, who played one year at Arizona and a potential incoming freshman who might not even commit here.
This last page or so reminds me of when I was a kid and my parents started joking about which one of them was more of a flower child in the 60's and it evolved into them screaming at each other.
I loved Browns offensive footwork and was hoping to see a new side of him this season with Lloyd. Check out my well aged post from 10 days ago:
