The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

It's a shame you guys will never know the name of our backup option lol. Now on to convince Brown the desert is where he needs to be.

ESPN was pretty quick to report the false-Gonzaga commitment last weekend, almost gleefully. One wonders if they will even make a note of this commitment, and if they do, it will probably contain a jab at the program, stating that it got a recommitment from BWill even with the FBI situation and the Miller/Ayton report. Such scum.

No, but Arizona and him aren't going to happen. Kid isn't very likely to make it academically into UCLA either, so will be interesting to see what he does.

Can't he take some summer courses or something? How did the guys who stole the sunglasses qualify?

Still need a visit from Brown. Maybe the BW commit helps.

The irony is that if Brown were to commit, AZ would probably have a top 10-15 class, which would baffle naysayers after they enthusiastically watched the original 2018 class evaporate when the FBI story broke, and later with the bogus ESPN report.

Someone do a current depth chart por favor.

billk78 · Post by **billk78** » Sat May 05, 2018 3:49 pm

I don't really understand how Brown has two teams in his final 3 that he didn't even take visits too. I mean I would assume that Cal has to be the choice right now unless we get him on campus.

He's been to Nevada twice on unofficials. Cal is a very distant third for him at the moment. If he's not going to Nevada then he's coming to Arizona, but a visit has to happen.

I don't know who your source is Chi but I believed. Kept my hopes up.

It happens, kids wait too long to commit, rosters fill up, and it opens up other options.

And Baffert just won another Kentucky Derby. Great day to be a Wildcat!

Awesome news for our hoops program. Not just getting a talented point guard, but also sending a signal that Miller is back on track and Arizona is still the premiere West Coast program. Really, really big recruiting win. Huge.

Anybody think it was important to get Coleman before BWill committed? I don't think BWill wants to be relied on to be a full time PG so he can do what he does best.

Great news! In the end, we were his best option. Not enough playing time at the other schools

And more than that, he was confident in Miller and program after all the drama. Hope that is noted by '19 recruits.

I love basketball recruiting!!!

BWill, you have a chance to be a god in Tucson

Great smart choice

We will all love you

Soon you're gonna start dropping "AZ is right where it wants to be" posts! Nice work, amigo!

And I like Coleman and Williams at PG about a million times better then just Barcello

Williams and Coleman can both play on the court at the same time.

I'd fully expect them to do so for the majority of time they're on the court.

Meaningless date.

WildHolcs · Post by **WildHolcs** » Sat May 05, 2018 7:20 pm

Yeeeee ya. The rollercoaster ride continues. Hopefully no more plummets like we experienced last year. Book, BSPN report/loss of recruits, miller redemption/zona alumni/fans rallying and calling out BSPN, 1st round exit, Doutrive commit/Bwill recommit. Lets hopefully have a steady climb from here on out.

I know there’s like zero reason to expect JB to end up a Wildcat, but why the f would he go to Nevada? Reminds me a little of Zimmerman choosing UNLV over better programs.

Totally agree. At least UNLV had a legacy of some regard and Zimmerman was a LV native. It is unclear why JB would find Nevada more appealing than an elite program.
