lets talk '16

I think its what Chi has, Froling. I also think we look to add either a graduate transfer or a high level, wait a year transfer. I think coach likes this as he brings in experience to mesh with the younger guys

More pros: Wears the shit out of a blue tuxedo and has Jedi-light-saber-type skills with a cane. Can hold on really tight while riding on the back of a limo. Isn't shy about peeing in public

I know it's wrong but talk like this makes me 'sport wood'! Lol.....

Seriously though, not sure / don't know much about Alkins or his personality but his comments right after Simmons commit kind of rubbed me the wrong way......something to the effect of 'Yeah, Simmons and I played together in all these tourneys, but I was the MVP and I'll get mine...' or similar to this......concerned about him buying into the team first concept.

Again, don't know much BUT I do know if Miller and Co. are chasing him and land him then I trust them and want him too. Bear Down and beat Furd & Cal!!

Spaceman Spiff · Post by **Spaceman Spiff** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 6:55 am

Bangkok, I got the same vibe, although I fully admit I don't know Alkins. It was the MVP comment and that sometimes Arizona texts too much and sometimes not enough, so he told them he doesn't like that. Just a little high maintenance.

I have no real idea, though.

HiCat · Post by **HiCat** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 7:11 am

Rawle Alkins not yet. Appears to be looking elsewhere. But you never know... Miller, Book and Kobi might be able to work a little more magic.

How can you take that seriously when a week ago we were at about 2% with Kobi and in there it doesn't even list Arizona as interested. The 247 sports "Crystal Ball" is worthless. Until, of course, the recruit has committed and then they nail it down

Look at it this way. If you were asked by a reporter if you are worried about playing time if you were to commit to School A because player x committed to school A, how would you answer that question? If you felt you were better would you say that? Or would you say something more like what Rawle said?

I don't see what this has to do with Josh Jackson, and I find myself having difficulty caring about anyone but him. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

dcZONAfan · Post by **dcZONAfan** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 3:33 pm

Do we have a "Let's talk '17" thread or do we not do that until after the '16 class is set?

I ask because I'm curious about DeAndre Ayton. Dude would be coming in literally at the perfect time and, with a guy who is the #1 recruit who is also from Arizona it would be a shame if we lost him to a Kentucky or Duke. However, I guess I feel like I never hear about us being in it for him. Any insight?

dcZONAfan · Post by **dcZONAfan** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 3:37 pm

Also it's crazy how many of the top 20-30 recruits we are in on for the '17 class. This staff just never quits.

Guessing he picks SMU since it's easier to use the bathroom.

Besides his sisters going there and playing for a HOF coach.

He's the white guy.

https://youtu.be/atUTpFMRlOI" target="_blank

Now, I consider myself an expert in player evaluation from mixtapes. I would peg him as a guy who could use a good weight training program and a developmental year similar to Dusan's freshman year.

Thanks Spaceman.....so it looks like it's mainly either us or SMU where his twin sisters go according to 247 Sports....or Illinois and Colorado.

I get the whole sisters angle, but the chances of Larry Brown being gone and/or again sanctioned before your four years are up is probably fairly high there

The programs and facilities themselves, no comparison.
