yes and from what i understand he came to Gonzaga, he came to them and said he wanted to be a visionary, the first to win a title at Gonzaga....Duke and Kansas and Kentucky and North Carolina are not competing with Gonzaga 8 out of 10 times.
sprinkle a five star now due to increased street cred and get the committed developable skilled college player and scour all things international
its the Gonzaga way.
PS - ya know what hilarious, i used to bring up Gonzaga and how continuing to treat them like our little brother was so important to the heath and growth of the Arizona program particularly in the west especially in the Sean Miller early years and here is exactly what i was told:
"Gonzaga is totally irrelevant. We could care less about Gonzaga"
pretty fucking hilarious......Arizona gonna copy what was once irrelevant
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck me how we have fallin

oh man i agree and having humility to respect and appreciate a new path and way is half the part of life, IMO.
no shame in joining the new kid way...but as a self described "get off my lawn" guy in this post its tough for me as an old School Arizona guy to see us clamoring to Gonzaga for leadership, guidance, and process.
Arizona dominated the west in this area for so many years, and all the way up to July 2017 when the wheels officially came off....nothing was ever going to change that if Book didnt happen
i know i need to get over it. i know i need to move on.
but Sean Miller being fired to be replaced by an assistant on Gonzaga's bench just makes me realize how far Arizona has fallen since Thursday Mar 17, 2016....the date when things all began to start to break apart at Arizona for Miller & Co

True man. But hindsight is always rosy. I remember how I felt as we hired a Xavier coach (albeit he did get to Elite 8s there) with no west coast ties and a style of game that was odd to anyone who loved AZ basketball.
The 3 coaches in 3 years stuff with nobody decent on the roster outside of Nic Wise was a scary time.
Better days lie ahead for sure. Those that have fallen can always get back up and become what they were. Redemption stories are key in America.

I’d be lying to say I knew anything about Lloyd outside of a few articles and watching the zags play a few times a year. My buddy, Zags guy, says Arizona will love him and what he will bring. He basically blamed the natty game and how the zags started in the rumors flowing within the program about the Arizona job opening and hearing Lloyd was gonna leave. A huge loss to the zags when he goes.
I said earlier I’d rather go with him than a retread. After all the shit we’ve been through as fans over the last 5 years, we are due for some good karma. I will hope he does well.

Recruiting has seemed to become really fragmented; you really have to have a plan/vision for the type of player you’re looking to recruit. Lloyd really seems to have that has been able to execute it well.

you are more connected than i am now or the last two years and easily as knowledgeable...IMO, as i mentioned in the past, i thought Miller shoulda been gone in April 2017 and in no event no later than April 2018. at that point when the administration proved by their actions they had no backbone or guts i severely pulled back......like many many many many many many other Arizona Basketball supporters i didnt care and couldnt take it seriously with the circus it had become. it was embarrassing on every level.
Miller had to go, there was never a doubt in my mind, but he shoulda been fired at least three years ago.
what the administration did trying to get him to hang itself was worse and more negatively impactful than anything Book or Sean ever did

plus i want up and down basketball and not so much Bobby Knight...Arizona got a little taste of Bobby Knight the last three years in Tucson and id like less of that and more Dean Smith...Lloyd's style is more Dean Smith and Miller's had become more Bobby Knight

Re: Tommy Lloyd

I've gotta disagree on Miller. Just recently, the following guys weren't 5 stars.
Tubelis, Mathurin, Kriisa, Nnaji, Markannen, Ristic, York, Kadeem. The only one I'm stretching a bit for is Kadeem because he was JUCO POY, for whatever star you'd assign to that.
All those guys were very productive Arizona players, some of whom went from not mentioned to NBA first round and lottery in a single year. If you look further back, guys like DWill, Parrom, etc. were all major success stories.
Plus, it's not like our top ten guys sucked. Zeus and Ashley were probably the two who did the least and they were 3 and 4 year starters on great teams.

Miller pre 2017-18 was on the path to a 25 year tenured career at Arizona - his recruiting wins and results on the floor prove that.

Akinjo had a really rough upbringing, was mocked by Beheim (total prick), and wrongfully had his name included in a release Georgetown did about a players being accused of rape. He finally had a coach/mentor who he believed in and who believed in him. He worked his butt off and signs pointed that he would go through the NBA process and come back.
We had international players come here during a freaking pandemic. Asked to sacrifice a year of their lives and careers.
Jordan Brown transferred here so he could finally pursue his dream of playing major basketball despite his dad being unable to travel to see him play.
I liked Miller and I had some issues with Miller. But I do think he worked his ass off and I do think he did all that he could do. It wasn't fair to him and his family to leave him twisting in the wind like that. But he will be fine. It is the treatment of the players that bothers me and I still get the impression that Robbins/Heeke do not give a fuck even when they try to pretend they do. That just doesn't sit right with me and I'm really humiliated that my University did that to them.

If Robbins and Heeke thought Miller should have been fired in 2018, they should have done it then and I could have respected that.
They didn't, so I think you have to give Miller and the team a fair shot after that point. I don't think that ever happened. It got to a point Miller and our roster would have been back in the top ten again, so he had to be fired so Robbins could get his guy before Robbins himself was out.
I share your judgment that we had decent success given the now apparent lack of support for the process.
I guess in some ways it's unfair to the incoming coach that this is the birth of his time at Arizona, but that's ultimately on Robbins and Heeke. If the head is rotting, it infects the body.

I'm gonna make a guess and say Lloyd isn't coming right now either...
If I had just built a new house, was guaranteed the HC job is I stayed, had been entrenched in the community for years and was looking at an offer from a school with a LOT of NCAA baggage over its head and a Prez who doesn't give a fuck about the HC or his players...and ALL of this was in a pandemic...I'd pump the breaks as ANY reasonable person would and say..."Naw, I'll wait it out"...
Remember Gonzaga is a Catholic school...its more than just some basketball hotspot that Few has created...its the same reason Mark has turned down MAJOR bling to stay where he is...its a sweet gig with a focus on other things in life than basketball...I can promise you Lloyd has that in his veins since he's been there so long.
Robbins thinks money can make anything happen so he throws it at everything...problem is, LOTS of people value other things more than millions in the bank...Lloyd is one of them.
