Thanks Choo!

Good stuff. I like what I see from the two of them. High motors and a high chance to develop into a multi year player. Every program needs those types. Veterans you can lean on because of their experience. My question is on DaRon Holmes. I saw that he's likely to commit somewhere before the early si...

Caleb Houstan announces his commitment the 7th. Any chances there?

BeardownZonaZona

I like what I've seen from the little tape I could find from KJ Allen. My biggest question is how many spots do we think will be open next year? Do we think Azuolas Tubelis will be a oad? Without him leaving I see probably 3 or 4 spots open as someone is always bound to rather leave early or transfe...

Tubelis twins have arrived in Tucson! Pic via Jack Murphy on Twitter!

Kenneth Simpson Jr is commiting tomorrow, 4 star kid. We gave him a virtual tour a couple months back. Any shot we land him?

BeardownZonaZona

Thanks Choo!

BeardownZonaZona

So I saw yesterday we made the final 8 for Alex Tchikou, a 6'11 forward out of Phoenix. He announced this after we reclassified to this year's recruiting class. Only scenario I see us be able to get him is if BWill leaves and T. Tubelis becomes a walk-on. What are the odds we get him and what does t...

BeardownZonaZona

Miller just said that we need to get BWill back on his media discussion a little bit ago. Personally I don't see that happening as that would mean someone like Ira Lee would be leaving the program or someone else would be losing a scholarship. Thoughts?

BeardownZonaZona

Azoulas was rated the 56th best player in this class and is a 4 star. Tautvilas is ranked as a 2 star. This is via 247

I really hope this part of the translation is accurate "I will defend the honor of @aplayersprogram for next season. " That's awesome! We need guys wanting to defend our honor!!!! Me too man. My buddy is a certificated translator and that's what he translated it as. He said it's very awkward of a t...

Via his Instagram post: "Today I had to make the hardest decision of my life. After very long reading, I decided not to rush a professional career and I will defend the honor of @aplayersprogram for next season. I think this is the most appropriate solution for my future. Thank you (his euro team) w...

Amazing class considering what many thought was going to happen. As far as expectations, does anyone still remember the glory the class of Nico, Zeke and Josh brought us? I think the issue with that team was that Nico was the only facilitator on the team. When he was off the court our offense looke...

Ever since I first watched his highlights I've been very big on him. My question is what do we think of the brother? I haven't seen too much on him. I know he's a wing but how do we think he'll do?

BeardownZonaZona

He also mentioned he's in no rush to make a decision due to the current pandemic. Makes sense. I've been wondering if these Euro kids will even be able to travel over here if they want. He also discussed this. He said the athletic department has been working out VISA's for all international athlete...

Scheer went on 1290 today and talked for a brief moment about this guy we're in on today. From what I took out of it is it's still really between us and signing with his pro ball team. He mentioned other teams are interested but he's only interested in playing here or with his team back in Europe. H...

BeardownZonaZona

He truly has no business playing basketball again. As someone who has had classes with Brandon and has a few mutual friends I can say he'll tell you otherwise, but I completely agree with you Choo. Knee injuries are always nagging injuries and anymore wear and tear and I'm not sure what will be lef...

BeardownZonaZona

OADs in moderate consumption are good for your program i.e. to fill a hole on a very good team already (Gordon, Stanley, Lauri). Going heavy on them however...yeah. That's what I was thinking. It's okay to have them if you also have great players that stick around a couple years and can contribute ...

No thank you, Kendall. We're good. Get along.

Why are you uninterested in Kendall? Is it because he'd likely be a oad? I for one do not have much of an issue with the oads

Random Thought: I might refer to them as Euro2 forever (even after their name is known)

Now announcing. In the starting lineup. Euro 2!

I'd have to agree with you too mate. I used to be on there for a little bit but there were just some really stupid people. Thinking about it you're probably right. I swear half that site has to be children. Can't be that dumb ...for us aging fans. Children = Anyone less than 30 years old. I'm under...

BeardownZonaZona

Someone opened up a discussion titled "Euro 2" on Wildcat Authority last night. I don't have premium so I can't see what they're talking about but I saw Scheer responded a couple times. If anyone has premium, is anything juicy being discussed over there?

Arizona’s attorneys better be ready to fight like hell. Because there’s been no hard evidence made public that would prove anything other than Book Richardson was an idiot. And that’s not an NCAA violation. Zero proof any players benefitted at all. Zero proof Miller knew about Book’s actions. Tons ...

BeardownZonaZona

So how screwed do we think we are? Maybe they'll "drop the hammer" with a post-season ban and give us "time served" for 2020. ;) The ncaa is a joke. Wouldn't doubt they don't do much of anything to everyone involved. I could see the ncaa putting us on probation and taking a scholarship spot or two ...

BWill... That's sad. He was a great player when healthy. I really enjoyed his game

BeardownZonaZona

We can't lose Ira, he is essential for our experience and leadership. Kid is all heart and can show everyone what hard work and dedication is. He's seen a lot of action in college basketball and his experience is useful as he's seen every pac 12 opponent many times and seen almost any schemes they c...

BeardownZonaZona

Ok, thank you guys. It's just really hard for me to believe that there is a borderline five-star starter still within our grasp. Miller continues to be a witch, but the proof is in the chemistry with this class. Until they all stay past their first year, all these international players are potentia...

I was literally just thinking the same thing

BeardownZonaZona

Kriisa and Batcho finally got ranked today! 247 gave both 4 star rankings with Kriisa coming in at 61 and Batcho at 98. Not bad. We now have the 7th best recruiting class in the country and best in the PAC 12. Good stuff

Another big man transfer has entered the transfer portal. His name is Olivier Saar and is a 7fter. Averaged about 14 and 9 at wake forest. I wonder if we pursue him. Would be a nice addition for our last roster spot

They're the top two options for certain.

So we're still in play for that euro big man? I was assuming we weren't because I haven't seen anyone talking about it in a while

BeardownZonaZona

So we have 2 scholarships open right? I know we're in the running for Tibet Gorener but is that it? Does anyone know if we're still involved in any other European players?

BeardownZonaZona

Well there it is. Walton finally committed. He's unfortunately headed to UNC

I'm convinced he and his parents are in a death match over this decision.

That or he's just about to show up at a university in the fall ready to play. Unannounced

BeardownZonaZona

Minnesota only has one scholly open and they're also waiting on a grad transfer they're finalists for. I wonder if he's waiting on that grad transfer to commit, he commits at 6 eastern time

BeardownZonaZona

Just read his father said he's made his decision and will be announcing soon. No exact time table but it should be rather soon
