Getting Burries would definitely be the win we need with all the portal news. Maybe help convince anyone else from jumping ship because of how good we'll be?

Hearing lots of stuff from all over the map last night and this am. I was thinking the same thing: landing Peat and Burries and keeping Bryant and hopefully Bradley put Arizona in the national contender talk I would think almost no matter what else happens.

Been asking my guys where all this money is coming from and so far the best I can come up with is: LBJ.

Tho it does sound like we were in trouble for a while with Koa so its not like all of this was a preordained guarantee.

Edit: maybe "nationally relevant" is better than "national contender".

LBJ? Is that code for some Texas booster?

If we were in trouble with Koa then Tommy looks even better for getting that done. Crossing my fingers for good news today.

Think current LA Laker.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Chi always helping the old man LOL. Kind of cool Labron wants to help out with straight cash. Now he (LBJ) needs to stay healthy(so he can keep getting paid) for 4 years to get his son to multiple FF’s 😄

It will take LBJ a long, long time to deplete his accounts regardless of the "straight cash" he chooses to spread around!

If LeBron really wants to play ball with his son- what could stop him from enrolling at the UofA and suiting up!

I know he messed up his wrist in the playoffs. Do we know if it is the same injury or something new?

Conrad in the portal, but I can't blame him for wanting more playing time.

Yeah, he was never going to get significant minutes at the UA. Hopefully CTL will have a backup pg worth playing this year. I wouldn't be shocked to see ADO go also

I'm happy for Conrad that Tommy tagged him in the first place. But now he needs to cast his spore upon the wind and let it rip. Good luck young man!

I am probably missing something obvious, and I have ownership of ideas at play when it comes to Martinez (dude can't play at this level), but can someone explain why it is that Lloyd takes a player and gives him a scholarship when he knows he isn't good enough to play and will accordingly transfer out after 1 season?

It's one thing to miss on a guy who transfers out after 2 or 3 seasons of not developing and playing very much (see: myriad other foreigners who committed to Lloyd/Arizona) but why Martinez?

Maybe some contact he had in Europe wanted him to take CM and CTL felt like the risk/return was worth it not to burn a guy that has guided players to him

As good as anything I can think of!

And certainly better than another mis-eval.
