I got it.....Cronin will be what he always was and that is a 5 choice. Worked out well for them so far but got a ways to go. My thoughts are his style of play will not be attractive to either players or fans in the long run but winning is a cure all until you don't. Ask Ben Howland.

Myles Johnson has gotten into Stanford as well. Waiting on Cal Tech and MIT.

Doubling down Mr Bug? Do you think Arizona fans give ahit where he gets accepted for graduate school? Well at least you are consistent.

He was admitted into Stanford. You said he was waiting for Stanford. What happened? Did speaking out of your ass catch up to you again?

No you are just slow.....we are happy to see the old Bug back. We all appreciate the Bruin's run because the conference will benefit financially. I personally was very happy that the conference was going to receive a lot of money from USC, Oregon, Colorado, Oregon State and of course UCLA. I just think it is odd for a team that just did worse than anyone predicted in conference to be claiming invincibility. If you think that is unfair go back and read the Bruin Report after those four losses.
It is always nice to have the arrogant Bug back. It reminds me why I hated UCLA so much.
Ah, so we finally get some "context" about these bizarre and random posts. I was supposed to be able to read your mind and know that you were reading BRO and getting riled up. Hence that makes me arrogant and smug about a single post about Myles Johnson getting accepted into a graduate program at UCLA. Clearly I was the slow one in this exchange, we can all see that now.
Yeah we all have Alzheimer's and don't remember your 5 years of comments on this board. Exactly what makes you think at this time that anyone gives a shit about Myles Johnson's second choice? So your intention was to point out the academic progress of Mr. Johnson? Really we all care about him being accepted to UCLA's graduate school.
BRO doesn't rile me up. It is like most fan sights. Ignorant on what they say about any other team especially their rival, over critical at times of their own team, and others that overlook their own teams faults. No real different then here. What you don't see on BRO is any Wildcat saying how they were in line for a maybe recruit. I guess that is what makes you so special. You are arrogant and smug but something tells me you might have heard that before.
You are a strange person. Your obsession with me is...scary, to the point that you have very little self-reflection about anything. Almost a rabid dog, foaming at the mouth, fixation on anything. Your left turns in arguments about off topic stuff is truly bizarre. Even RC97 keeps it to rep these days rather than engaging nonsense. Oh well, can't wait to hear about how you've known me for five years and I'm smug and how BRO...yada yada yada, nonsense, irrelevant et al.

But honestly, if you are so desperate to prove how little you care, why not ignore? You end up posting even sillier stuff with each post.

Time to start your own Arizona basketball is in trouble post. It seems to end up very cyclical. But I suspect a long winded retort is coming. But I'll bow out for today 🎯

Obsession with you? You are on a Arizona board which should be of interest to Arizona fans. Who is obsessed? Go spout your chronology of where Mr. Johnson is accepted in graduate school where it matters (if it matters anywhere). You are obsessed with Arizona as testified by your number of posts. Get the F off or post something of interest that affects Arizona or are you too dumb to do that or understand that?

Hey RC97, I've missed you and wondered when you would engage! Thanks for the link too! Counting can be hard at times so I decided to hone in on the links you provided! Not sure if you took the time to look at 247 or not, but it's a fantastic company that puts time into their basketball scouting department.

I also know that most of these guys are a complete unknown to you, so here is an article for your reading pleasure from 247!

UCLA brings back the entire Final Four starting lineup. I am beyond jealous! This is the kind of luck you need to win it all. It's almost comical these early rankings have Gonzaga #1. UCLA is a veteran team that is flat out loaded.

Backtracking through this absolutely dumpster fire of a thread. Walton did not graduate from Stanford, but he did attend their law school. So he has much more of a reason to root for Stanford than you do for UCLA.

UCLA loses Mac Etienne, to a knee injury, for the season. Mostly a depth piece right now but he's in their post rotation for the year.

Good win for UCLA yesterday. Not having Riley allowed Jay Wright to take advantage of Myles Johnson and drag him out of the low post. Pauley was rocking but the COVID lines were awful.

No cutting!

Junior applied math major Hayden Epinette said he was unable to attend the game after waiting about seven hours after his group of friends got in line around 11:45 a.m. A UCLA staffer told the group that it was roughly No. 250 in line but as game time approached, someone in the group was told that more than 1,000 wristbands to get into the game had already been distributed as a result of others who had cut in line.

It was pretty bad. Jarmond got a taste of what UcLa could be like when they put a decent product on the court. He said he will address it, but is there another elite program coming to UCLA this year? First top 5 matchup on thirty years.

What a great game Riverside cat!

Think stinks. I wanted to see an epic game. I want to see UCLA win because I believe the game between UA and UCLA at Pauley will be epic. It's nice to see the PAC-12 getting back to the proper order with UA/UCLA at the top. That is the way it should always be. This is the real PAC-12 basketball rivalry.
