Bear Down Wildcats

Bear Down Kyle! Making the dough re mi!

Wonder if he ever comes around the U of A in the off season?

Overseas Elite wins THE Basketball Tournament and Kyle Fogg takes home $90,000 from the one million dollar winner-take-all prize.

I noticed him yesterday. Pretty cool. Good for him.

Nice to see him making a living at hoops and having success. Underappreciated "bridge" player for Arizona. https://www.thetournament.com/news/where-are-champions" target="_blank

Myck Kabongo mention. Remember when he was the "real catch" of the Findlay backcourt (as opposed to Nick Johnson)?

"Former Arizona Wildcats guard Kyle Fogg has taken another jump on the pro basketball ladder, signing to play this season for Ourense Termal of Spain’s second-division LEB Gold league."

But, things tend to change quickly sometimes.

"Kyle Fogg (190 cm, Arizona’12) has agreed to terms with Eisbaeren Bremerhaven (Germany-BBL) and will be joining the team this upcoming season. Kyle was originally set to play for Ourense Termal from Spain’s LEB Gold, but jumped at the chance to play in Germany’s premier league."

Mustafa Shakur is also playing, for Ludwigsburg, in the Bunsesliga this season. They will meet up for the first time on Halloween night.

Bear Down.

Hell Yeah! Bear Down!

That's awesome

Great, great stuff you two! You make us all proud.

Thanks for the find, Chi!

Another good guy from Arizona. Love his priorities.

Maybe he can share his Euro contacts with Kaleb Tarczewski?

Riiiiing

"Hello?"

"Hey, it's me. Do you have a moment?"

"Kaleb Tarczewski."

"Um, okay. Listen, I need something...."

"Kaleb Tarczewski."

"Uh, yeah ... I just lost my entire family in a boat explosion."

"Kaleb Tarczewski."

Maybe he can just forward them to Perry Ellis and Wayne Selden?

Fogg is playing for "Overseas Elite" in "The Basketball Tournament" - $2million winners take all.

OE has made the Super 16. ESPN announcers are really riding his jock.

Edit: I just noticed... OE was last years champion ($1million prize last year). Was Fogg on that team too? Nice payday if so.

Edit2: I just read the post above that says he was on the team and took home $90,000. Cool.

Watched part of that game - yea they were talking him up pretty good. His game has come a long way. Really happy for Kyle.

Fogg is a hell of a basketball player now. Just solid on both ends, as he was towards the end of his AZ career. But now he's all grown up and doing it against men. Hopefully his team or the Bibby squad can win the $2M.

Kyle's #2 seed Overseas Elite team today defeated the Trained To Go team 74-66 and will be moving on as one of the Final Four teams competing for the $2 million winner-take-all prize. They will be playing the #1 seed City of Gods team next Saturday for the right to advance to the championship game. The final as well as the two semifinal games will be broadcast live on ESPN. Today Kyle scored 8 points, had 2 rebounds, an assist, a block and 2 steals in 26 minutes of play.

Went for 42 big ones and is in the final. Cat players excel everywhere!!!

At the end of the first half Kyle Fogg may have played the best four minutes that any Wildcat has played, at any level - ever. He scored eighteen points to single handily bring his Overseas Elite team back from fifteen down to tie it up. His 42 points for the game is a tournament record - he scored those points on 16 field goal attempts. Unreal.

The final winner-take-all game is Tuesday night on ESPN.

Bear Down Kyle.

While I agree, it was incredible. That's a bit hyperbolic. I mean off the top of my head I can think of Gilbert dropping 60 pts 8 assists 5 steals in Staples and out dueling Kobe when Kobe was consistently getting 50 a night. Gilbert with 50 and the game winner walk away V Utah in 06 comes to mind. Even iggy in the finals last year outplaying lebron for large stretches and winning MVP.

D-Will in the first half vs Duke. Salim v Kansas in Allen field house.

Top 10 probably tho.

Watched early part of game. Didn't do much. Stunned to learn he ended with 42.

He confined the comment to a 4-minute span.

And I would argue u could take multiple Gilbert 4 minute spans from that Laker or Jazz or heck even the series where he dueled w Lebron (the series he hit the 3 from the parking lot then missed a ft to lose series in game 6) or the best 4 minute span from Williams first half v Duke or best 4 minutes from salim at KU and it was better.

Having said that Fogg was pretty incredible at end of half other night.

If Team Colorado (apparently all CU alums) wins this tournament, do they hang a banner in Boulder?

Kyle Fogg MVP for the tournament

That is awesome. Way to go Kyle!!!

Bear Down!

Kyle Fogg has maximized his potential more than any other Wildcat. I remember watching him as a freshman and thinking Garland Judkins was a better option. Guy has developed so much over the years it isn't even funny. It's a credit to his determination and drive.

My DVR cut off after Kyle made those 2 free throws to go up 5. Missed the end

Hell yes. Congrats to Kyle Fogg.

Great kid, humble going forward, has his goals in place. Good to watch his career moves. (on and off the court) Representing Arizona really well.

I don't think there is a player of the Sean Miller era I like to see succeed more than Kyle Fogg. Maybe even more than TJ

This is so cool! Wtg Kyle!

That is fucking awesome. Bear Down Foggy!

Great news to hear. Bear Down and enjoy your career, you've earned it!

Very cool. Keep going kid.

Well deserved two year deal for 2 million dollars. The very last of the Lute Olson recruits. Four coaches in four years at Arizona then off to Finland, Belgium, Germany and Spain. Now on his way to China to play in the same league that Grant Jerrett played in last season. Two time winner (and competing again this summer) of The Basketball Tournament for nice paydays. Just finished building his fourth school through Pencils for Promises. One way or another, a place should be found for a Kyle Fogg banner in the McKale Center Ring of Honor.

Second the motion.

Way to go, Fogger---an amazing journey!

Classy. Love it Foggy.

Watched him in TBT with Overseas Elite. It's amazing how much his game has developed over time. As a freshman, he was limited and didn't really have 3 point range consistently. Now, he's a complete player with range.

I still think he's the Arizona player who did the most with his talent. Overseas Elite has won 2 TBT's in a row, and are closing in on 3. It would be nice to add another 2 mil too, I'm sure. Hard not to root for Fogg.

Any UA fan who isn't rooting for Foggy can choke on a horse dick and die.

He was the TBT MVP last year and I think he probably will be again if they win it all. He can silently control the game better than anyone else in the tournament, he did it today and he did it last year too.

Game on now. Fogg has 15 at the half. Up by 4. Finals and playing for 2 million
