I see us in as an 11 seed on Joe Schmo's bracket, he must have updated it or thinks that we are Arizona St since they are not in it and are listed as the last 4 byes.

Yeah I'm just worried about having an experienced big rather than a raw young big man. A grad transfer or some stellar five star would fix those concerns. Maybe we can still pull someone like Nnaji. Another 4 star 4 man in 2019 would do nicely. I am thinking a traditional transfer like Jeter might ...

Also somethings changed in me...knowing what we know about CTE, i can’t “celebrate” the big hit anymore. I see them play out during a game and I just cringe now. It won’t change anything but I can’t support a game that ruins young men’s brains. I saw a big hit on JJ Taylor in the backfield around t...

I still don't understand why we don't have an automatic round robin vs all South opponents (like SC and UCLA) but we do vs some North schools. Beyond that, there are ups and downs. There is no north and south in basketball. Also, I had heard rumors that the conference was working on fixing the sche...

Also, which draft is it that high schoolers might be eligible? 20? 21? I would expect to see more kids go the year before that, so they do not get lost in that crazy mess. Also if you are a freshman that year you might be more likely to stick around. Who knows. At this point the 2021 kids are the l...

Got a name. It's a very very safe hire with connections in a big recruiting area of ours. That's all I can say. Every thing is still pending though of course. Safety and recruiting sound like just what the doctor ordered. I’ll press just a little further: a) would you be happy with him being a Cat ...

Why does it seem like no one wants Jordan Brown? The best player in California (ratings wise) and his main suitors involve St. Johns and Louisiana Lafayette. Seems like an odd recruitment to me.

Is J'Raan Brooks, PF from Washington, an option?

Is this guy a good addition as a coach? I get he probably brings Preston and some other Manvel guys, but does he bring anything after that or is this an addition for a one time thing?

To bad Nick Wilson played 5 games last year.

Any chance we could steal some of those studs from Manvel?

This is ridiculous, why pay a coach $6M to not coach just to pay his less accomplished doppleganger to run a similar gimmicky offense. I never thought I would be jealous of the Herm Edwards hire, but now I am. I am sure my wife will be happy that my Saturdays in the fall no longer revolve around Ari...

Is Mazzone the coach?

gronk4heisman

I agree he is not a good Tweeter and not the best at writing or analysis, but I would pay admission for him to permanently replace Kevin Woodman on the 1290 radio show. He adds in depth info and actually appears to follow UofA basketball.

In that case shouldn't they have been more worried about Miller's lack of tourney success prior to the FBI thing?

I fail to understand what has changed with regards to a potential recruit. Maybe it is my bias, but our facilities are the same our head coach is the same as evident from UNC an investigation will also not effect our exposure and are coeds are still damn hot.

I am pretty sure Duval has yet to commit, so say he isn't coming here all you want but it has not been determined yet.

Also, PG's like lead the team. Sean Miller does not really like his players to have freedom, hence the struggle in recruiting PGs under this regime.

What? Fultz, Marquese Chriss, CJ Wilcox, Terrance Ross, Dejounte Murray, Quincy Pondexter, Justin Holiday and Isaiah Thomas are all NBA playes who graduated from UW from 2010 on. Last year, they had two players drafted in the first round, one lottery and we had zero picked in the whole draft. I jus...

I personally would be most interested in Romar for his ability to actually coach a functional offense, that would be a welcome addition. Watching UW the past few years, their offense consisted of pushing the ball up court quickly and jacking up a shot regardless if any teammates had worked into pos...

gronk4heisman

How real is this possibility? I can't think of a precedent. And you'd think if a coach got fired, he'd want to do just about anything other than be an assistant to another coach in his own conference. Try the NBA. Hell, be an assistant in Italy. Jay John went from OSU head coach directly to an assi...

Based on current results, I would say it could not get much worse. Especially at wide out.

At least we are great and developing talent....Oh wait, never mind.

Didn't realize Oregon took Bruce Judson who we were looking at as a substitute for Burmiester the first time he waffled.

One OL, Two WR's, and just a walk on (in stature) QB in this class. Yet we are adding 6 DB's and 6 LB's after adding 6 and 3 respectively last year. Not sure I get the numbers, I guess some of the LBs could play DE, but still.

gronk4heisman

I would say this is the least hyped signing day I can recall as an Arizona football fan. Tells you all you need to know about the trajectory of the program, especially when all season long the coach was hyping this class up.

gronk4heisman

I still believe in One America, but maybe there should be two audio simulcasts for games: one for those who like Bill Walton, and one for those of you with poor taste. I 100% agree with this statement. I will gladly keep learning tidbits like how Sean Miller had Reindeer burgers in Finland while re...

On the bright side, more available scholarships for the best walk-on team in the country---Yippee! Yet they couldn't spare one for LB John Kenny.

And another one gone. I feel sorry for what our next coach has to inherit. Rich Rod probably shouldn't have talked about how he realized recruiting is important and how great the players he has coming in are going to be. At this point, this class will be lucky to break the top 40 nationally.

Early PAC power rankings. Cat's 10th, only ahead of ASU and Cal. Only favored v. NAU I imagine. http://www.espn.com/blog/pac12/post/_/id/107798/way-too-early-2017-pac-12-power-rankings" target="_blank I would assume we are favored against UTEP and OSU as well.

I have no problem not playing OOC games during Pac 12 season, rest is key down the stretch. On the same note, I have a huge problem with the weak scheduling before the conference season (This really seems to be an AD thing since football OOC is a joke too) and think it hurts us come March.

Moral of the story, Miller is still recruiting Bowen...and Diallo and Duval and to a lesser extent McCoy. Fall signing period is over so none of these guys will be signing anytime soon and Miller can wait till the spring when he has a better feel what to expect next season and recruit accordingly. H...

The coordinators are on two year contracts, this year and next so they are off the hook for them. And would keeping Donte Williams for two years under a new regime really be a bad thing?

Williams' pay at Arizona was $215,000. The guy that Nebraska just fired was making $450,000. One first year assistant there makes $250,000, and the rest make at least $300,000. Word is that they were offering him a fat raise. Haven't seen how much but he's likely looking at increasing his pay by 50...
