I read the tweet more as if Love comes back I'm a 2025 kid anyways, but if he doesn't come back, he'll just reclassify to 2024 No chance he is staying in 2025. His proper class is 2024 anyway, and if Love comes back you don't think UCONN offers him the role we did? They were a finalist and need som...

the second I saw we were going after Townsend I assumed he was coming here. he is a perfect fit for what tommy wants even if that isn't ideally how to play basketball in 2024. assuming both love and KJ come back that should be the team. if awaka comes I guess Henri would leave Seems iffy that Awaka...

I like it when Clip gets excited about a guy. Just wait till I really like a guy. This portal season has been pretty underwhelming, but this dude is fun to watch bulldoze his victims. He was really good @ U19 FIBA for TUSA. Never could translate that for Barnes, however. At face value this read to ...

No reason for him to reclass yet until Love makes a decision. He can then reclass and say he's opened up his recruitment if Love returns.

What do the people who run the NIL collectives say about Love returning? Lloyd still can't offer NIL money, but can only offer negotiating assistance with the player and the collective. Although like tampering, it seems like a wink wink rule. Love has a larger NIL package on the table from us than ...

Interesting how they do it this early and I wonder how accurate that starting 5 for Arizona will end up being. I don’t know anything but declaring for the portal doesn’t always mean one is gone. It can be used as leverage for NIL fund raising. I don’t read Scheer and Luke anymore but I wonder if th...

My quick scouting report on Townsend: Watched the Horizon title game and NCST game and here are some takeaways. I can see him functioning in a Zu-type role. Punishing guys in the paint, sealing and duck ins in transition, though and physical around the rim. Im not sure if I saw him make a field goal...

I went through a couple Texas games this morning, mainly @ Kansas and TCU, and have a few brief takeaways on Ramey and his fit. First, the focus around him is definitely defensively. We needed a perimeter defender to fill in for losing Dalen. While they are both quality defenders, they go about thin...

, as I don't like the idea of Veesaar or Tubelis chasing a 3. Me neither. That's where Brooks and Bal are needed. Pelle, Brooks and Bal. How impressed are you with Pelle as a defender? He's not bad, but he doesn't have the lateral speed of these other guys. We need someone who can guard the other t...

Brooks would be an interesting fit. Hes not someone Lloyd had last year. He definitely isnt going to fill Dalen's role. He looks more like a tweener 4 who can masquerade some at the 3.

I dont think Terry should come in expecting to be a primary ball handler. As I have said before, hes a connector, a multiplier, and those guys are secondary ball handlers, with the ability to attack and run offense on the second or third side of the floor. Can be tasked to initiate with the bench un...

Tapped out? We watching the same guy?

TucsonClip

They have no way to make any moves without trading THT or Westbrook. Ive been saying this for a while now, but Pelinka, and LeGM, destroyed any chance the Lakers had to make quality upgrades via trade. They traded anyone with a decent sized contract, which you need to match contracts via trade, to p...

I just thought KL didn’t really fit generationally. I get why they had him perform, but he’s not of the same era as everyone else so it was disjointed in my opinion. I can agree with that, even with my Kendrick hat still on. The way I viewed it is you have three generations of Dre. Himself, Snoop a...

**Sorry for the delay. Forgot to post this here last night.

Went to the SDSU game and stopped at Trujillo's on campus for some food and beer pregame. I absolutely hate Taco Bell, and eating that in SD, or Tucson, is a mortal sin IMO. However, they did create the crunch wrap supreme... But Trujillo's does it homemade with carne asada. Maybe one of my favorite...

It's crazy how something as massive of a cultural phenomenon that swept across the world and internet and had a huge following like GoT just died instantly. It was arguably the singular cultural phenomenon of the 2010s but that last season just murdered it. I believe I did four rewatches leading up...

I get the drop coverage, and it was ok most of the night, but I would have liked to see more switching as well. Tennessee cant shoot, and keeping a guy in everyone's face might have made things easier for our bigs to not get chipped away by Fulkerson walking right down to the block and drawing foul ...

Love Zu, but he isnt the passer that Luke was.

TucsonClip

Terry will play in the NBA. The question is how much and for how long? That will depend on his jumper. It still has a long way to go, but you dont find may guys with his size and length who defend, can handle the ball and pass like he can.

Dude never gets tired and absolutely carried us in the first half.

TucsonClip

I think I might respectfully disagree. It's a personal thing, maybe, but the 14-15, 16-17 and 17-18 Miller teams (which I'd vote for as the best 3 offenses of his era) were all top 15 in points per possession. 14-15 and 16-17 didn't get a ton of points from size and at the rim, IMO. Lauri was the b...

TucsonClip

Not enough creativity or pace, IMO, to support two "PGs". This current system and staff could support it though. Just how I see it. Yes, Miller ran a lot of DHOs, but most of it was for show and to create ball movement in an offense that was consistently attacking into crowds of defenders. Thats why...

TucsonClip

First, thanks for the analysis you bring to the board. My take on Lloyd, he has done a great job fitting defensive scheme to personnel. I do think there's an ongoing question about how he will be fitting future rosters into schemes or how he recruits to fill out his schemes, but for right now, he's...

TucsonClip

Props for this post. If Miller doesn't get the right guys and develop them to be ready for this year we don't see this. If Lloyd doesn't retain guys, see their potential and get them to take the next step, we don't see this. I don't know how it would have worked out had it been either Miller or Llo...

This were my observations from November 16/17. So things have definitely been adjusted, especially based on matchups, but these detail my views regarding the differences in the base schemes. Half court wise, the assignments are much different. Again, its only been three games, so we will see how thi...

Cant remember if I posted it here or not, but the defense and its principles are night and day different from Miller's. However, the concept behind the schemes are much easier to comprehend, because they arent bending the typical philosophy of defense for guys who may have never been taught proper ...

CTL quote from last night, "If you don't rebound the ball, you don't win" or something like that. He says it's emphasized every day in practice Thats the one mantra this team should have deeply embedded in them from Miller. You cant run until you end a defensive possession. Only way you can do that...

I think I'm most impressed with how quickly they've picked up the new system.

Honestly, I cant begin to describe just how elated I am that this is the style of ball we are seeing in Tucson again. Not only are we getting up and down, forcing turnovers, getting out in transition and sharing the ball, but the game plans have been extremely versatile and opponent specific, which ...
