Not sure why that sucks for Lute, it could be great. Wiggins was a number 1 and was traded for arguably one of the top 5 players in the NBA at the time (Kevin Love). Webber was traded for what ended up being Penny Hardaway, Mike Miller, and Vince Carter when he was the #1 pick. So its not like if th...

My only hope is that Laremy Tunsil is not painted as a bad person. Here's a guy who did stupid high school shit and then tried to keep his mom's lights on and her from being evicted. And then on the biggest night of his life a vindictive piece of shit cost him millions in future earnings while Lare...

Two notes on this story, 1. It was so beyond blatant that Ole Miss was big time cheating when a bottom of the pack SEC team in a shitty location with a confederate flag as their school flag somehow pulls the #1 WR (from IL) the #1 OT (from FL) and the #1 DT and overall (from GA) in the same recruiti...

Ray has added 30+ pounds since he last played the three two years ago, and I question his ability to be ready to start day 1 at any position after two years off (though I do like his chances at the 4 more than the 3). Ray has the body of a college four at this point, additionally we have a larger ne...

What will it take for the Pac 12 AD's to wise up and can this clown (Larry Scott)?

Ugh the position argument is so tired already. Play the best 5, end of story. Justise Winslow wasn't a true 4, Derrick Williams wasn't a true 5, who cares?! Play the damn talent and the rest magically tends to work out. Agree 100%. Also, if you must have a "true 4" why can't that be Smith? He is es...

Sure.
It wouldn't be odd, but he, Ferg and Smith are competing for a single spot. Trier has the other wing spot locked down.

I am 90% certain Smith will compete at the 4 as well, so not a single spot.

Nice breakdown by AZDS on the players in town for last weekends Junior day. The Arizona Wildcats had a pretty big day filled with recruiting this past Saturday, hosting many in-state prospects. The coaching staff was competing with Arizona State's spring game which is a pretty great strategy for th...

Quick, who is the best coach in college to never make a Final Four appearance? Think there is a connection?

I have a hard time seeing Pastner coming close to the 8 conference wins Georgia Tech had last year in his first three years combined.

Bottom line, we used to schedule 3/4 cupcakes a year OOC and the rest solid programs. We now have reversed that and schedule 3/4 solid programs and the rest cupcakes. When those 3/4 solid programs have down years it looks even worse and IMO does not prepare us for March. Also our conference does us ...

You play the best players, Ray Smith > Markkanen. Doesn't matter that he's not a true 4. Ferguson isn't a SF either, but he can play as a third guard. Villanova just won with 3 guards. Derrick Williams wasn't a C either but he played it with Horne in the 4. Kyryl was a true C in that roster, and of...

So if we get some good news from TF soon, how would our starting lineup look? KS TF RS LM DR/CC Where does RA fit? This is a very young but very loaded lineup.

Bryce Wolma added to the class. Not sure how solid the commitment is since he apparently committed to Northwestern three days ago. Maybe had the NW coach saved in his phone as "Wildcat Coach" and committed to the wrong guy. Really hope Rich Rod is finding a way to use the TE in the future with Trevo...

Anyone else the slightest bit concerned about our lack of size next year? Not necessarily compared to other teams, but definitely compared with Miller's previous teams here at Arizona.

Not sure why he would, we aren't short on scholarships and could see a lot of guys leave after next season at which point a player going into his third year with the program would be a huge help.

JJ has been a top priority for a while, but if we lose him and get Ferguson, that's as good a "consolation" as it gets. Ferguson/Alkins/Simmons/Markannen is a loaded class.

Hopefully it's not spring break and the UA coeds are out in their short shorts and such. Looks to me like Gabe York in a weaker conference.

Some of those are weird, like PJC over Jawann McClellan? And no D-Will on the list either unless I missed him. D Will was not a highly sought after recruit, Solomon Hill was the highest rated in that class followed by Parrom. Also the 2004 class with Jawan seems all messed up, Sebastian Telfair was...

Jackson is either 1 or 2 in a very good class. Bibby and Ebi obviously had (at least to this point) a much better #1 player in their class, but neither of them was the number 2 recruit in their class and the drop off after Kobe was pretty big. I would put JJ just ahead of AG and Stanley, I do not co...

also regarding the original Q, CSM is still recruiting "actual point guards". remember that PJC was a five star prospect and a top 10 pg in his recruiting class. i'm hoping PJC considers taking a RS year if it is the right thing, because his best playing days are ahead of him.

Honestly we knew this would eventually go this way. No one but Cal can recruit to Memphis.
