Hard to imagine a recruit not being rock hard for Arizona basketball after tonight

[Merkin]

Going to be hard to beat the Rawle dunk over Miller though. They better start working on it.

[enfuego]

Had never watched this Red/Blue game...

1. Thought the production value (on TV - may have been different live) was average to poor
2. The dunk contest was terrible. Granted a few nice dunks, but overall a ton of bad ones and a ton of misses
3. The game was interesting and the highlight of the night, I suppose.

Take away needs more production value. Pimp the program more - less dunk contest.

Outside of Rawley's, I imagine the recruits thought they could do better than most attempts.

But on a high note, Sean Miller didn't come out in chaps.

Our University has chosen to not take that route. It is below us. You come to play at Arizona because of who we are, not which chaps we wear.

[Chicat]

Much like enfuego's enduring love for all things Arizona basketball, the assless chaps jokes will never die.

[dirtbags]

CSM has mentioned before that he prefers an austere R/B event because it's supposed to be for and about the players. that's why you won't see our guys doing hokey skits, scrimmaging at midnight, or being forced to gawk at a 50-somewhat year old saunter around the court in assless chaps.


i was hoping to see someone try and hit that insane aaron gordon under-the-legs/over-the-mascot-in-seated-position dunk, though.

[Main Event]

I'd guess we'll have a few by Friday

I could never imagaine watching another teams inter squad exhibition game

Weird...

This is one of your most fair and balanced posts to this board. I do think the production value was a bit lacking on television, and the game was interesting. For the most part, the dunk contest was painful to watch.

Let me say this....since no came out and said "It's Arizona for me" that we thought would've or could've, I say forget them and move on. Perhaps not for Walker cause we were late coming in on him, however on Lee, I say move on....especially since we have a shot at others.

[Beachcat97]

Lee and Walker are very likely to commit to AZ.

I think that's a silly stance. Let the kids go home at least and talk to their family/mentors. If UA is the place for them, they'll pull the trigger.

Exactly, since the kids cannot sign the NLI without their parents signature(s). How many recruits have the Cats lost over the years since Helicopter Mom/Dad wanted them to go elsewhere?

[az91]

Let's hope none of the recruits watched the debacle on Saturday against USC.

Like the 20 or more that were in attendance?

EDIT: Thought you meant the football recruits. I know some hoops recruits were in attendance, maybe not all.

[Dave]

Hopefully we had a plan B and got them out of there at halftime.

[Azgirl]

Chicat and Merkin, point well taken.

Ummm no.

And clearly that is not working for Miller.

I mean, it wasn't until this year that he got his #1 target. That staid thinking is why he only gets a top 5 recruiting class every year. His out of touch view will keep us mired in a world of the national #3, 10, 17, 27, and 31* player each class

* Numbers are for sarcastic example purposes and may not exactly match any single of of CSMs top 5 classes

We really don't, and Ira is announcing this week. Gotta be patient lol

Rick Rickert and Davis Nwankwo immediately come to mind.

[enfuego]

Read that McCoy is likely to commit to UA. If true, that's one salty frontcourt Miller is putting together. And after watching Randolph over the summer, he was one kid I wished KU would land.

I'll give you props when you do post something legit. The thought of Ayton and McCoy together is pretty enticing. Throw in Randolph and hopefully one more wing, mix with a few returners and I'm ready.

Please god, please

that should've convinced them resoundingly that we are a basketball school

[Chicat]

Chicat and Merkin, point well taken.

Dammit Azgirl, I was about to hit you with the "no one committed at Kentucky's midnight madness" zinger but you had to go and get all reasonable on me. Don't you know that this is the interwebs where you're supposed to double down on whatever take you had?

Jesus. I'd be pretty surprised if Alkins, Simmons, and Smith are all back next season. But yes...please god, please.

That would be awesome, but hard to envision any scenario where a freshman starts over alkins.

[PennZona20]

I believe Pinder has 2 years so somebody would have to move on. Or be a walk on under that scenario. I'm of the opinion that only Lauri and Trier leave early (along w Talbots and Allen graduation) so unless someone like PJC transfers I don't see room. But Ristic could go back overseas if he's in danger of losing his starting spot to Ayton (which unless they play next to each other he likely will) so I'd say we r safe taking 6 in this class. In a few days we will have 4 of them. After that we just need McCoy and Walker on board.

[ChooChooCat]

I'm still very concerned about MSU and USC in regards to McCoy. Fingers crossed though.

[Jefe]

How many can you spot?

I'm not so sure if that's reasonable. Alkins or Smith plus Simmons. I would take that.

The above roster is almost too stacked. I already worry about Lee, but if we're not starting Kobi or Rawle...that's a little much. We need a legit pg (I still need to see PJC actually be that guy before I believe), but wing depth with two returners should be fine. If we have two returners, we have those guys plus D. Smith and Randolph, which is good.

[rgdeuce]

We all know that "too much" at Arizona turns out to be just right or not enough. Injuries, transfers, guys bailing at the last minute, guys leaving early, etc. There is almost always going to be a guy who goes against common sense and good advice for the NBA draft and ends up going in the 2nd round. The curveball in all of this if Trier. is on the losing side of whatever it is he is going through right now. If he loses the whole season, it would be asinine to enter a historically deep draft without playing. Of course, he could go overseas, but there is no guarantee he or his mother would like that. Obviously it is better than nothing at all, but is it in his best interest to go there in a different type of game where a certain type of player is going to shine more vs. staying here in front of constant attention from scouts and execs and ball/comp that would suit him better.
