If that's the case, in the words of Jake Tayler, let "win the whole fucking thing!"

Great post '97. The more I see all the support from former players and the true fans, the more bummed I'll be if/when he goes. I know there's been a lot of crazy crap that's going down and has during his tenure, but what he has accomplished I feel there are very few that could have done the same. Th...

I don't think he'd be dumb enough to take it again, but if it was actually completely out of his system, kind of strange it shows up again a year later. They do say that it could have been retained in "some body tissue that we've never figured out." And with the NCAA not allowing more tests like the...

When the creators of the drug chime in and say his case is weird, and that it is usually out of your system in 1 week, then it doesn't look good for Trier. They do acknowledge that it might have been compartmentalized somewhere in his body and then left when they tested him, but based on what they w...

I'm hoping the extra time is to get all their ducks in a row, then lay it all down at once proving that the ESPN claim was completely wrong, and making sure any loose ends are tied up (as much as they can be with the information that is available) so the public is informed correctly.

phxcat23

Exactly phxcat 23, It’s nuanced but all the little snippets of information do add up to at least paint this as a reasonable hypothesis. My only concern is that Miller is guilty of paying recruits, but not in the obvious way of this supposed wiretap. If this theory is even remotely close about Mille...

phxcat23

I know it sounds crazy but to address that ringer articles two burning questions; why would Miller involve himself with a 20yo ish runner AND now be arrested in sept, isn’t it plausible that Miller was working with the feds to nail down the ASM network? Especially after being informed about books i...

Listened to DP and Forde convo again. This is the gist of it: Forde: Ayton playing tells me nothing that the school has tangible that says you definitely accepted anything. It’s not all cut and dry, but feel comfortable, they’ve vetted him…this goes back to September. DP: Have you heard the wiretap ...

phxcat23

Forde was on DP show as well. DP asked if he has heard wiretap to which Forde says “no.” Then DP asks where this came from and Forde just says “it was ESPN.”

I think before that 247 article started circulating ABOR might have been more concerned about the Arizona perception, because a majority of fans not looking into this as much as the people on this board, they would have been concerned that we would be sending the wrong message by having Miller coach...

Evan Daniels was just on CBSSports HQ and said that it just doesnt add up and they called ESPN wrong without coming out and saying it. Man I wish I wouldve heard this! Here's direct link to the video: https://www.cbssports.com/live/evan-daniels-on-where-arizona-basketball-goes-from-here/401629/

Pretty much the meat of the 247 article. Timeline doesn't make sense and ESPNs corrections make even less sense. On Friday, ESPN reported that FBI wiretaps intercepted calls between Arizona head coach Sean Miller and former ASM sports associate Christian Dawkins, “in which Miller discussed paying $...

The biggest Fuck You to ESPN is getting him, and Trier for that matter, back on the sidelines ASAP cutting down the nets on FS1. Or if he chooses again to not be on the sidelines, when we win, then Miller walks out to "Bring em out", unfolds the ladder, and cuts the nets down like a boss. And then ...

The thing is, if Miller was tipped off about Book doing his own thing on the side, chances are the FBI wasn't around to get anything on Miller until Dawkins started to communicate with Book. Since this timeline seems so jacked, when was it that Book made contact with Dawkins? That's probably the po...

as i see it right now, let Coach Miller back on the floor as soon as possible and put everything in the kitchen sink into getting Trier back and making the deepest angriest run in NCAA Tournament history.

That's what Romar is in place for. If Miller decides it's in the programs and his best interest to step away, at least Romar is in place for the time being (as long as no connections with Fultz from reports).

There is another scenerio that might have happened. CSM knew that Book was getting into trouble. But instead of warning him, he had to let it play out or his cover is blown. Obviously I don't know if this is true or not, it's just a brainstorming idea thrown out there. In another thread 97cat does ...

Was just looking at some of the old posts when 97 was talking about everything after the FBI made initial arrests. Wish he had some more info to share. I get the feeling that we were doing this stuff, Miller was contacted by FBI about Book, then Miller backs off recruits because he knows FBI is invo...

Question: if Miller is clean, how come former players and associates aren’t coming out publicly to support him, maybe just via Twitter? His current and former players absolutely know if the program is dirty. So it would be nice to hear from TJ or AG or SJ or anyone who’s had a fruitful relationship...

Miller stating that he is innocent and will be vindicated means very little. That is exactly what any lawyer would have his client say in this situation. One has to understand that if Ayton did get $100k then someone has broken Federal Law (that level of payment would have to be reported to the IRS...

I'm amused at the reactions from the national media and local media. And even fans. But it's still all based on leaks and unnamed sources. And I love that many fans aren't about to jump ship. Look, if Miller did what he's alleged to have done, you can't argue anything but dismissal. But nothing has...

phxcat23

They might think it will be easier on the team if he isnt on the sidelines. It is also great that ESPN wasted time and money sending their investigative reporters to Eugene and now he doesnt have to talk to any of them after the game. Yeah, the media shitstorm is probably the main reason for him no...

phxcat23

"Confident that I will be vindicated"....leads me to think the university and Miller are keeping a huge secret on the whole investigation, or we are digging ourselves a really really big hole. I'm leaning that they know something a lot of us don't. Unfortunately it's hurting our future.

Even after ESPN released that info, Miller was still with the team prepping for Oregon:

Maybe Vitale is behind it. He's the "source", dislikes Arizona, and then after "leaking" this, he has the spotlight to talk crap. Was threatened that Bagley and Ayton were competing for overall #1 pick, and coach K probably gets a kickback from his agent if Bagley goes #1 in draft. You never know :l...

I'm still confused on why Miller's stuff came out last night. Maybe because we are on the road and the FBI is still monitoring him so they want to try to get him to say something again?

97 you said Arizona and other programs have been doing this type of stuff for years via different methods, but we were just really good at it. Now that Book got caught going off on his own, does that open things up to exposing what we were doing? If so, will that involve Miller?

The problem is the NCAA is hellbent on maintaining the essence of amateurism. I don't think they care about how significant their sports programs are in the greater world of athletics. It would be a 'get back to basics' mission, with focus on the educational foundation of the university. The role t...
