Who's kicking this season? Not sure if serious question because we're talking about kickers, but I'm also not sure even the staff knows. We recruited Pollack last year, who was pretty good in HS. But Rivals has that he hasn't signed yet. Not sure why. The only K we have on the team is Skowron, with...

Thus my point about it being a lot harder to get to the rim at this level. That's where that fg% and the ft# come from, driving the ball. He won't be doing that near as much here. Is there a statistically calculated reason for this or are you just going to defer to the cop out excuse that he will n...

That's my thing with Allen. He's competing for a backup role and was a scorer without being a very good distance shooter. A low efficiency scorer is very low value in a reserve role, especially when Pitts and York are in competition with him and have shown they can stroke it from deep. We need PJC ...

Gato, 97, you hear'n anything bout this? From my perspective it did look like the big guy could have used a little tude-up even in game 1. I actually missed that game, but it's not as if the team really needed him to win that game. They could've been sending a message or just resting him. Attitude ...

Did he give a date for his commitment or just said he's moving it? How to read the stars here when we're working with half assed information.

Stanley. Did he get in a little trouble after the first two plays----a breakaway dunk and rim hang, then a steal and ?. Pulled at 2/3 min of the 1stquarter, sat the rest. Didn't start the second Q nor get much play. An electric one hand catch of a high rim bounce for a dunk. Activity level below mo...

Well they did end the year 5-0 defeating the powerhouses that are UAB, Tulsa, Tulane, North Texas and Louisiana Tech.

WR Cedric Peterson just committed. He's got some good offers too. Sheriron Jones's top target.

And why aren't Jeter or Zimmerman high(blue)lighted ?
Are they no longer being actively recruited by UA ?

Neither are likely to come to Arizona at all.

Got that team over the hump? That main group of players went to 3 straight national championship games and won the year before that 4 seed beat them. Spare me that talk as if Tubby did something astounding. The hump...that's funny. I don't get the Floyd/Miller comparison seeing as Miller coached al...

These rankings are odd to say the least. It is not clear what the criteria is. ESPN's love affair with Shaka is comical; yes he lead a mid-major to a final four, but it isn't like the guy is running a major program in a major conference who needs to recruit 5-star talent every year to stay relevant...

It's the name, not the logo. Although the logo's got to go too. What's wrong with the logo exactly? Have you seen Florida State's new logo? I think the Skins logo is more than fine and respectable, while obviously their name sure isn't. The Cleveland Indians nickname and logo are both equally as of...

Sucks but not surprising. I just hope he's not one of the ones that goes to UCLA and is a 4 year pain in our @ss ala Darren Collison.

It's really odd that some guys who never really posted before are "breaking news" and providing detailed scouting reports o...

For the love of god sell off half the network to FOX already and just collect money. Larry Scott is absolutely worthless. The blueprint for success lies with the B1G Network, just copy and paste!

We had more than "no chance." A 7 seed won it. We lost by one.

They're still fronting the bill for the ever failing Pac-12 Network. Unfortunately they know what they got themselves into.

You could argue he was the player we needed most to beat Wisconsin that's for sure.

I believe Trier was the only late invitee to make the team.

It seemed like many were ready for him to decommit the moment he committed. I think this is best for all involved. Seemed like Dorsey skipped the get to know you phase of the recruitment and went right to commitment. I'm wondering what Zonacat's thoughts are. From his posts on TOS I know he was a b...

Stanley Johnson is very young too actually. All 3 of Tyler Dorsey, Isaiah Briscoe, and Allonzo Trier are older than Stanley.

ElGatoBlanco

I think Trier is a better fit with our roster based solely on shooting ability and creating space offensively, but I wouldn't complain about landing Briscoe. In regards to Dorsey just remember that high level basketball products are a very small community. They are typically well aware of what's goi...

I'm very much a fan of Isaiah Briscoe, but from the roster Arizona will have that year Allonzo Trier would probably be the better fit as the better shooter who can spread the floor. Hard to go wrong with either of them, but a known jump shooter would be a good fit IMO.

No, just one is fine, but the problem is some fans are totally ok with having SDSU being the highest strata we play OOC. Gotcha. I was gonna say, it's not realistic to think we can book 2 games a year better than SDSU, and it's debatable as to whether it would be wise even if it was realistic. Yeah...

It's fine if that's our mid-tier game - it's in a recruiting base, good trip for the fans, etc. The problem arises when that becomes our premier OOC game, which it's very likely to be.
