I really hope Cal is good next year. We need someone to challenge us No we don't. I've seen this line from other Arizona fans and never understood it. I'm not opposed to competition within the conference, but the ineptitude of the rest of our conference hasn't hurt us on a national scale once. Peop...

Hill is a center isn't he? What's the point of comparing him to guys who play completely different positions? Hill(6/8) is listed everywhere as a PF, as is Bagley(6/10). I specifically compared Hill to Bagley alone in the post immediately above. He's listed as a 6'9 center here: http://usc.scout.co...

Nope. We got Mizzou though, which sucks.

6'3 starting SF? You dont even see that at some high schools. I know Derksons an Amphi kid C- 6'6 Jesse Perry PF - 6'6 Solo HIll SF - 6'3 Kyle Fogg good for 23 wins! And so why not put 6'-4" 190 pound Trier at the 3? Essentially the same size as Dickerson. Could just as easily get away with a 6'3 1...

Still have no idea if he is or not, but the fact he played center that much shows more personnel issues for San Francisco than definitive information that he can not play small forward at another school where they have capable players over the height of 6'7.

I have no idea if Tollefsen can guard a 3 for the same reasons Ashley couldn't defend a 3, but maybe he can. I know for sure Anderson can not play the 3 and Comanche can't play the 4.

Tollefsen is certainly interested, I can see why Miller wants him, and I think Arizona will offer him. And he very well could be on board. But I'm unclear what the indication is that he'd come. SDSU and UCLA remain real possibilities, and yes, he can return to SF and thrive there like he has. If we...

I don't think Tollefsen comes to Arizona. What would even be the point of us bringing him in for a visit? There's not even a clear candidate at this point who would land him if not Arizona.

My guess is by the time the season comes around Ray Smith will be roughly 205-210lbs if he isn't already. His scout/rivals/espn profile hasn't been updated in well over a year because he hasn't played. Arizona made the Elite 8 with a 6'7 210lbs PF in Jesse Perry and he played 20 minutes per game, wh...

I know very little about Tollefsen but he's more skilled and more athletic than Korcheck, and it's kinda weird you compared them even in general terms. Just watch some vids. Both are reserve big men. No, Tollefsen can guard the 3 and has some handles. They are nothing alike. I don't think he is cap...

ChooChooCat

I'm fine with taking this guy, but I really hope we get Lee if Stanley does go. I think he's a huge difference maker and adds a for sure offensive weapon and defender at a spot of need. Also is that RondaeShimmy guy a reputable source of any kind or is he just speculating?

He'd play predominantly over Smith if not the other 3 I imagine. This guy is more proven at this level of basketball than any of the 3 you named.

ChooChooCat

Anderson, Zeus, Ristic, Commanche, and Ray Smith in a pinch is plenty of post depth. Give me the scorer over the maybe rotation player. The coaches must feel good about our ability to defend with a smaller lineup. Like last year? Starting lineup is still likely pretty damn big outside of the point ...

I know 97 and others have emphasized their views Zimmerman is out of the question. So I'm dreaming I'm sure, but I hope we have some kind of Zimm oar in the water in the likely event IR goes Cal. Zimm was just terrific Saturday. He's grown even from his terrific base 6 and 12 months ago. The guy ha...

And that's assuming Tollefson doesn't come here. A grad transfer is a stopgap, not a philosophy. That's what I think Chi is pointing out. Harder than a lot of people think to just plug one in from another program, especially when so many teach differently than Miller's. You don't go to more than on...

2 guys in 7 years could actually be 3 (Lee & Tollefson) and lead to more, and this is a direct result of Victor (the PF you forgot in your list of who we had last year) transferring. This is why I want Rabb as long as he's open to playing multiple years. I don't know that Ray Smith would be an effe...

My concern is less about 15/16 and more about the years to come. Unless there are grad transfers that are good fits and want to play for Arizona every year, we'll be thin at certain positions (namely PF in '16). Where I think we run into danger is not having sophs/juniors coming off the bench tryin...

I'd rather see how Miller can develop four-year players for a change. Too much time has been spent since Mark Lyons dabbling in college hoops' version of free agency. Rather see more Bo Ryan and less John Calipari this summer, as no coach should spend more time re-recruiting existing players than d...

Im not a fan of the one year grad transfers, even when it works out for us. Hope it gets fixed The typical grad transfer will be guys who redshirted due to injuries or due to not being ready. So guys who have received their degree after 4 years of college should have to sit out another year and be ...

ChooChooCat

Want this guy more than Tollefson. Just a personal preference, but if the choice has to be made, this guy helps the team in more matchups. Both would be great, sure, but there is such a thing as overkill when it comes to the grad transfer player. Whether we need Tollefson or Lee more depends entire...

Rabb looks, at this point in time, like a player that has no business being a one & done. He needs about 30 lbs of muscle and some serious time in the weight room.

Tarc is 99% returning. As of this evening there is plenty of talk coming from inside that Brandon is strongly considering a return. I would rather have a senior Brandon than a freshman Rabb any day.
