Bear Down Wildcats

I think that you have all forgotten who is making these decisions, these are the highest minded, most educated people the left coast has to offer. There is no end to the level of innovation, forward thought, and collaboration that they are capable of. Money you say? Money is nothing more than numbe...

Has there been any movement of the final assistant spot? Any chance Tommy gets one of his pals Gentry (Illinois) or Jakus (Baylor)? Or is that Phoenix Suns analytics guy the leader?

I mean if Baylor was smart and with their big 12 money Adia would be their top target If I was Baylor, my first pick would be Dawn Staley. Other coaches I would look at are Mark Campbell and Jeff Walz. Dawn Staley is making $1.7M a year, Adia just got a raise to $580K. Adia should be jumping at pot...

So are we holding the bar for Lloyd in his 1st year coaching to exceed Miller in his 12th year? There’s a small group of people who are (hilariously) pushing that general concept. The same group that backed miller through all those 30 plus (and sometime way 30 plus, like 70 rpi 2018) rpi seasons no...

Just saw Tibet's name in the portal. He seemed like the type of project that has typically worked at Gonzaga. I think that leaves us with three open spots now.

I think there may be more roster movement. Wouldn't surprise me to see Gorener transfer out or Dezonie not coming. Couple options. Could see us going after Arthur Kaluma, he's a guy who could be a 3 or 4 year starter and is right up the road. Roster will probably be in flux for a while I'm guessing...

The only way I can rationalize Zeng going to the G league is for money making purposes. The basketball in China is a huge market and I imagine he could probably make good money from Chinese sponsors while in the G league and trying to climb his way to the NBA. I thought he was 2 years away from bei...

For reference, Roy Williams started 19-11 his first year in UNC and he inherited Sean May, Rashad McCants and Raymond Felton. You have to give a little leeway when implementing an entire new system. If Tommy missed the tournament, that's what I would call a huge disappointment and he would be on the...

Thats actually one of the few things on that bracket I agree with. They are going to be loaded if Juzang comes back. Without him I would think they end up in the 3-6 seed range.

Interesting dynamic at work. We're celebrating assistants and kids staying with the team after a head coaching change. This usually happens after a coach leaves for a bigger/better job, not getting fired. Makes you wonder just how raw a deal Miller got. An honest question that occurred to me last n...

I’m not shocked there is tampering going on with our current roster. Let’s face it, with the attention the Miller firing got plus the circus perpetrated by dumb and dumber there was Arizona basketball blood in the water attracting all types of “sharks”. It's not just our roster this is happening to...

I've heard some schools are dropping some major bags to people around Mathurin. It’s tampering season yall. That doesn't sound good. I’m just speaking in general. Nothing having to do with Arizona specifically, although plenty of outside force are working on Benn. In that case, I agree. This is cle...

Let's keep loading up on big men as the game moves more and more to the perimeter. At some point you have to pass on the talent based on fit, right? I guess if he is 2022 it makes much more sense with Brown likely gone and Azuolas as well possibly. Yeah I don't know if I like Zeng if he's 2021. Unl...

Near 45% 3pt but only scored 7.5 ppg.

I believe he is a strong Kentucky lean and has been since he even entered the portal.

Batting average is so 2002. Its all about OPS now, if you aren't going to hit a home run and walk you might as well strike out. Good God baseball has become unbearable to watch.

I'm hoping the last assistant spot goes to his buddy Jakus from Baylor. Did you see how they played defense against Gonzaga? They were up in their grill the entire game. Would love to see us use an aggressive D like that to go with the uptempo offense. According to Scheer, the player development co...

Yankees just had bases loaded with no one out in the bottom of the 8th of a tie game and scored two runs. Wild Pitch Walk They cannot buy a hit with men on base. It’s seriously fucked up.

Seriously, why would any basketball player choose Wazzu over the UA? Better facilities, better travel, better weather, much better city, hotter coeds and so on. Or Lloyd wants your scholarship for TyTy. We're only at 9 with Kerr, 11 if Dezonie and Nowell come through, 12 if TyTy commits. So Aikens ...

That would be something all right....The guy was absolutely awful for Kansas. There is the chance he turns it around like Quinton Grimes but all his stats are worse than Grimes. He had the lowest ORtg and the highest DRtg on the entire Kansas roster.

What are the rules on practices? I thought there was some rule that during the offseason you can not have more than 4 players in a workout at a time.

gronk4heisman

So Choo, in your estimation, everything working out the way we want it to looks like... Akinjo leaves, Tyty commits. Mathurin, Koloko, Kerr, Terry, J. Brown and Tubelis back. Nowell and Dezonie stay committed. Does that cover it? If Aiken is not coming, we still have another spot to fill in additio...

Hmm. Not sure I understand the Ballo fit, but I guess I'm not the one who has to understand it. I don't know the plan either honestly. I guess we'll see.

Hopefully we are pulling the thread on Marcus Carr, Jalen Pickett or Devante Jones. Definitely need same backcourt help even if Kerr comes back and we add Tyty.

Gonzaga was able to play with Sabonis and Karnowski on the court together a lot a few years back. In my memory of Sabonis at Gonzaga, Jordan Brown is at least as nimble so maybe he can play the 4 in Tommy's defense. Obviously, Sabonis has made a hell of an NBA career so far so maybe I am way off ba...

Transfers Marcus Carr (if he returns) and Adam Miller should be at the top of our priority list along with TyTy.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but we don't have a PG on the roster at the moment, correct? Akinjo and Kerr are in the portal, KJ Simpson decommitted. Currently as it stands I do not think we have any legit PG on our roster. At this point I think the guy with the most ball handling history is Dalen Terry...

You don't think any of the top 25 programs in the country have ways of getting high caliber players to come to their schools?

James Akinjo entered the portal yesterday. We were in on him before he ended up at GTown. Would help at PG next season. I imagine we’ve already reached out?

I feel like Akinjo is gone-gone. But I feel CTL can convince Kerr to stay.

What is the likelihood that Akinjo and Tommy talked and they both agreed the sty...
