Re: Kerr Kriisa
A boy among men playing like a man! What a great experience for him. I imagine it's better than playing them verses high school kids in AAU, where defense is just a suggestion, unlike Europe where it's required.

Re: Kerr Kriisa
Is the staff expecting Kerr to be a one and done or will we get a couple of years out of him? Getting sick of the one and dones and hoping this class at least gels for two years.

Re: Kerr Kriisa
We should get a couple years out of him. Mind you he is older than a normal true freshman, so his clock is shorter, but I think we get a couple years out of him.Dosia wrote:Is the staff expecting Kerr to be a one and done or will we get a couple of years out of him?

Choo or anyone else in the know, is the expectation that Kriisa will see significant minutes as soon as he becomes eligible? Is he good enough to take minutes away from our other rotation guards?

Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Re: Kerr Kriisa
I truly don't know. I do know nobody at Arizona expected this sort of issue. Tubelis literally had the same situation and he was cleared quickly. Kerr also has ex-teammates in the same situation that are eligible as well. It doesn't make sense to any one. It honestly boils down to pure ineptitude (more than plausible) or pure bias. There's no in-between here. If we live in a just world he'll be cleared soon.

That's what I'm saying. Call me foolishly optimistic, but I expect he'll be playing for us sometime in December.

Hopefully the NCAA doesn't want to be this blatant about it's ineptitude/small mindedness.

Re: Kerr Kriisa
Choo, any idea where Kerr was going to be in line if eligibility was never an issue? Where will his minutes come from? Was he good enough to be getting minutes now if he was eligible?

Re: Kerr Kriisa
He was going to be one of the first two guards off the bench. Honestly I think he will mainly cut into Mathurin's minutes, but I don't know for sure. Yes, he is good enough to get minutes now.NickyBCats wrote: ↑Wed Dec 09, 2020 8:12 pm Choo, any idea where Kerr was going to be in line if eligibility was never an issue?
