One quick question, in your opinion is Ayton a lock for number 1? I'm asking as a Sun's fan. The valley would go crazy if we could get him.
Drink too much tequila last night? Actually I was having a little fun on the board because I was the only one posting. And yes, I did make myself a few margaritas to ease the pain of watching the game. Good call. :-)
Merry Christmas to you and your family TJ. U of A Baskeball is ranked #1, the football team is competitive and the Cards have 10 wins. Wake me if I am dreaming.
Not sure for certain, but 97 Cats posted some disparaging comments about a visiting recruit. Check out this article TJ on Miller's ability to work with our #1 recruiting class all summer. If we don't hang a final four banner next season with Turner, Johnson, PArrom, Hill, Tarczewski, Jerret, Ashley and York, I will be surprised. http://azstarnet.com/sports/blogs/pascoe/exhibition-tour-could-benefit-wildcats-offseason-preparation/article_179cebcc-56c8-11e1-b9d4-001871e3ce6c.html P.S. You are always welcome for a game. I have gone to 9 this year. Just let me know if you are in T-Town next season and I will get us tickets with a couple of friends
At least Not as bad as Kyle Williams. New ESPN rankings came out and Kaleb moved up to #4. I would trade one year of missing the tourney for a national championship and I think we will be in that conversation for that in the coming years. Miller is really disappointed with these guys. He said today that he is adding 2 more players to next years class so someone is leaving. Hopefully it's Kyryl
Help is on the way with Ashley, Jerrett Tarczewski, York and (probably) De La Valle. I think that this is Miller's first full recruiting class of guys that he had a full chance to evaluate from Freshman year on. Sidiki committed as a Sophomore when we were kind of desperate and Turner may just be a character miss. Although I hate the term "one year away" I think that Arizona is one year away from the full return to glory. I cannot wait bro
What do you think of the Rich Rod hire? I wanted Bellotti, but Rodriguez has won me over. I see no reason why we can't be a national power in basketball and football within 2 or 3 years if Rodriguez is able to bring in quality recruits
Not worried. Went to both exhibitions and Miller was trying every possible combination of players. The freshmen are raw but will all contribute this year and will be really good by January. This is a team that is going to gel and play it's best ball in March. Also, Miller is working with Josiah Turner to be more assertive and take it to the hoop rather than looking for assists. It is going to be a fun team to watch grow
Almost basketball season. Word has it that Miller is going to be bringing back some of the stars from our era (including Richard Jefferson) along with D Will and Chase Budinger for a dunk contest at the Red Blue game. Kaleb Tarczewski will be in attendance along with Ashley York and Jerrett. The future looks bright
The Cats looked good tonight in Eugene. Really good. Tonight belonged to Kevin Parrom; Absolutely lit it up from the outside, played great defense and was a constant threat off the dribble.
The talk in Tucson is that its becoming apparent that Momo is not a good enough ball handler to be a 1 and not a good enough shooter to be a 2. In addition, Fogg and Lavender are not Arizona quality and Daniel Bejarano can't even get garbage time. Derrick Williams also need some help in the middle and Kyryl just isn't up to giving him any yet Here's where Sean Miller's first real calendar year recruiting class comes in: Two top 25 guards (likely McDonalds Americans) in Josiah Turner and Nick Johnson along with top 70 big man Sidiki Johnson. TJ. Did you see Nick Johnson at all when he played up in Phoenix? I saw his ESPN game and he was absolutely polished and ready to take a starting spot. He clearly learned from his uncle Dennis Johnson The good news is that Sean Miller is building a program on a solid foundation, but the bad news is that its going to take another year to be a top 20 program. I'll take it though
Apparently there has been some real conflict on the team regarding Zendejas leading up to and after the fiasco on Thursday. I was at the game and I don't think I have ever seen so much anger directed at one kid. But, as my buddy said: "Just thank God for Sean Miller". Our basketball program is headed for a great deal of success.
