Bear Down Wildcats

gronk4heisman

If Kerr is our starting PG, my expectations for the season go down quite a bit. I know we are still in on Pelle and probably will step it up on Cook and Hickman, but they are all big drops from Tyty. Pelle and Hickman would probably be better for future stability though.

And Dusty Baker wants us to move on because they paid their due's right? With their huge contracts, stolen MVP awards and stolen WS/ALCS rings.

Not fighting it but if you quote me do it accurately with the conditions I stated. If we have a "starting spot" for this guy we are a .500 team. Hope that was just a slip of the tongue. There, you are quoted. That is posted as a certainty. If Kaluma starts we will be .500. That is not posted as an ...

Let me help you out Choo. Brown or Akinjo were our leading scorer in 17 games last year. Our PAC-12 conference results were one game from being .500 and our out of conference schedule is much better with the tourney's we are playing. A lot less automatic wins against the likes of Grambling, CSU Bak...

Not sure why you are so high on this guy. First of all if you watch the clips he walked almost every time he was making a move. If you think he is a better defender in those clips than Koloko then we just disagree on what he currently brings to the table. His offensive upside is not next year and h...

Someone told me the euro prospect should be committing this week. Anyone else hear that? Will be a big get. Reminds me a lot of a Hachimura type prospect.

Is the European prospect the SF from France?

If I had to guess it probably was from him attending a few practices with Tommy and either believing it was a bad fit from a system or personality stand point. Free transfers this year so why not put his name in the portal with the other 1500 guys.

gronk4heisman

Jordan Brown is off the board now. Really need to go after Kaluma now. We currently have 7 players on the roster (8 if you count Tubelis 2).

gronk4heisman

Walters also had more career blocks and steals. Defensive Force!

I believe Wade signed an extension which gave the University the ability to fire him without cause if they receive an NOA, which somehow I do not think they have received one yet.

I know Hickman was teammates with Nowell. Maybe the Miller contract status scared him away from coming here originally? Purely speculation.

gronk4heisman

Worst case, we get Tyty. Kansas gets Hickman. Then Tyty decides to go to the G League.

gronk4heisman

It would be a one or the other I would think. Although I think we have a spot for both of them to start with Ben at the 3 if they did come with our current makeup. It is good to split your eggs up instead of having them all in the Tyty basket.

I'm really fucking tired of pandemic pricing. Not just on new stuff, but on simple used items that people need to pick up for their family.

Kerr Kriisa ? He can't drive to the basket which is essential to being a PG. Defense will just keep a man in front of him. Akinjo was quite good at driving, which requires someone to help, leaving a man open. Yeah, Kriisa's development may also be slower because of lost reps last year. We haven't s...

He's not self imposing anything. He's just assuming we're going to be hit with scholarship reductions and planning accordingly. Functionally, that's self imposing.

I think I've underestimated the impact of landing Tyty. Prior to this month, I didn't realize he was a OAD-level player who could almost single-handedly elevate our prospects next season.

I will be content if after one year we compete in the Pac 12, make the tournament, win at least one game in that tournament, show we are growing, keeping core talent, players improving, etc. If that happens that will be an improvement of what we have seen 5 of the last 6 years. I expect some trouble...

I'm guessing Nowell most likely staying since he's a Seattle guy and Terry is staying. Tyty Washington and Arthur Kaluma still out there. We need more than just Tyty at guard now IMO.

I personally never saw him play so I will not knock the kid. I do hope he finds a place to get on the field and is able to show what he has.

For whatever reason he was never in the mix (conspiracies if you ask Chief). Pretty solid graduating in 3 years, hopefully he finds a good fit and hopefully he brings his waterboy Chief with him.
