The 2021-2022 Season Thread

[azcat49]

Have to wonder how well ticket sales went for the red/blue. Seems by the end of the first week skillet of the program would tweet that it is sold out

[Chicat]

I could give 2 shits about social media.

Tommy boy can be as dull as dishwater for all I care as long as he can recruit, coach and win ball games.

Being dull makes recruiting harder, which makes winning harder, which makes recruiting harder. So he better make up for being boring by being a phenomenal coach.

[MountainCat]

Isn't Mark Few more Boring? He tends to still recruit just fine. In fact, he lost his best recruiter last year. What happened to him??

I think Tommy will be just fine. With all the crap this program has gone through the past few years, we will survive.

Patience.

[Postmaster]

But If he is super dull, will he be able to recruit? A Man Named Jedd is quite the promoter.
He gets his name and U of A out there.

CSM had the gravitas to where he didn’t need to be tweeting and such all of the time. (Although I bet he would have increased his presence soon)
Tommy Boy is a no name, he needs to to everything he can so people know him when he calls.

Notice what I said about being a phenomenal coach? Few didn’t always recruit at the level he is now. How did he raise his recruiting? By winning through great coaching.

Reading comprehension is essential.

I mean, I'm not sold on Lloyd, but how entertaining is Mike Kryzyzewski, Bill Self or (was) Roy Williams?

Maybe Cal is entertaining, but the majority of really good CBB recruiters aren't always particularly engaging. There's just multiple ways to do it.

[Postmaster]

True, but it’s not 1990 anymore.
So much has changed.
It used to take legwork to get to recruits.
Thanks to Al Gore, things are different.
Recruits want followers so they can get NIL .
I’m not saying he has to be Bob Hope but I’d like him to gin up some excitement.
Maybe catch an alley oop from a .

[Chicat]

If I were Tommy Boy I would be trying to get the Tucson & Phoenix media to adore me. Make tons of friends. Slap lots of backs. Give them little tidbits of inside juice to make their jobs easier.

I definitely wouldn’t be actively flying under the radar.

[Postmaster]

Maybe make a commercial with Freider

[Alieberman]

Lute was pretty damn boring....

[Postmaster]

Lute originated “Scoreboard “

[84Cat]

Lute had a solid track record before getting to the UA. Also, as Postmaster stated above, it's not 1990 anymore

[Alieberman]

Lute originated “Scoreboard “

What made that scoreboard point so epic was that it was so uncharacteristic of him

[Chicat]

Lute was pretty damn boring....

He was? I always thought of him being pretty charismatic.

[Postmaster]

Didn’t he punt a ball one time?

[Longhorned]

I agree, Lute was pretty boring. There was scoreboard, but there's more. In the post-game interviews, he basically read from the stat sheet. So that when he said something that wasn't on the stat sheet, it was epic. One time, his hair got messed up, and we'll never forget it. Lute was really, really good at being boring.

So, I'd add that to the list of options for Tommy Lloyd. Be a great coach. And either don't be boring, or be really, really good at being boring.

[DrWildcat]

So everyone misses the media attention that Miller brought on the program the last few years? Also, we can't forget about all those recent big time wins. Look, I think Miller got a bad deal and would have kept him for at least another year but damn he is a big reason for the current state of the program.

[Spaceman Spiff]

So, I'd add that to the list of options for Tommy Lloyd. Be a great coach. And either don't be boring, or be really, really good at being boring.

Lloyd should get on TikTok and shake his assets. I've heard that's what the kids enjoy these days.

What I’m saying is CSM had been a winning coach at a mid major and had worked with a lot of people. And he was a relentless worker.

CTL hasn’t been a head coach in decades. His recruiting base is Europe.
I’m wouldn’t hurt to try and gin up some excitement.

Yup. I liked Donda, but not sure I loved it like some of his others.

I need a forensic examiner to figure out what I did there..... cuz I'm too damn lazy to. But, yeah.

I am surprised Kerr and Dalen haven't added some weight.

Gotta love what Barcello has been able to do, really sucks that he lost his confidence at Arizona and had to leave to find it again.

Good for Barcello. It wasn't the right fit here for a bunch of reasons, but he seems like a good kid and I'm glad he has found a good fit for his talents.

A full offseason will be so good for Koloko. Lacking one last year was really unfortunate.

[Postmaster]

Did I hear Few got a DUI?

[U.P. Zona Fan]

.120 I guess.

Gol dang, that's enough.

[U.P. Zona Fan]

Koloko is gonna be hard to block this year!!!

[gronk4heisman]

.120 I guess.

Gol dang, that's enough.

Sounds like he had a Few to many. Thanks, I'll be here all week.

Hey-Oh!

[84Cat]

What an awesome opportunity for our guys to hang with some NBA Wildcats

[Beachcat97]

I haven't lost hope that Steve Kerr will be the head coach of AZ hoops someday. He always gives strange, equivocating answers whenever he's asked about it. He's already won rings as a pro player and coach, and I don't doubt that he wants to stay with GS for a while longer. But he's not that old (55), and it's clear he has a special place in his heart for UofA. Maybe I'm delusional, but we'll see.

[TheCat]

When Steve Kerr makes you look small you've got some lifting to do!!!!!

[Beachcat97]

True. Think Kriisa is still pretty young, but yeah, this is about the age you'd want to see him start filling out more. I can remember a lot of guys looking noticeably bigger between years one and two.

[Spaceman Spiff]

When Steve Kerr makes you look small you've got some lifting to do!!!!!

TBH, they look equally skinny. Steve Kerr only looks a little broader bc he has his arm extended around Kriisa's shoulder.

The biggest difference in the 2 inches in height. My uncle met Steve Kerr and that's the first thing he mentioned, that he looks small on the court next to a bunch of 6'9-10 guys, but you meet hin on an elevator and realize 6'3 is actually pretty tall.

I tell my wife all the time: "There's a reason those guys play basketball ..... they're too big to play professional football."

Steve is friends with a family I grew up with and when I met him at a party I thought the same thing. I’m a little under 6’1 and I was looking up at him.

Why did we have to fire Sean Miller and bottom out as a football program to go back to awesome uniforms?

[Postmaster]

The uniforms are just smoke screens.
You get a happy feeling and you don’t notice the product.
Unless you are stuck outside the stadium
