Interesting, so the next time we hear about Leaf, it will most likely be that he has committed to UCLA? I dont think it's a forgone conclusion right now, but I think people wouldnt be shocked if he ended up at UCLA He'll put on a farce and act like he's really open, take some visits to some big sch...

JMark- When did you get the tinfoil hat?!! I've been driven to it. You don't go from possibly reclassifying and coming to Arizona early to reclassifying and going to UCLA as a 14th scholarship without a great deal of bullshit having been wade through, and from that point in April to now August seem...

Never said Miller needs to get it together, but he's definitely had some miscues and IMO his assistant hustings are one of them. Miller sure ain't perfect, but then again no coach is. 4 years for Tarczewski and a future pro career in Venezuela, plus Ashley going from top 10 to undrafted may be bein...

Funny to get on this board after anything negative happens with UA basketball. The sky is falling I wouldnt say that but things are not perfect either. Going to be a tough year compared to the past two I believe and right now 2016-2017 does not promise to be better Things won't ever be perfect. We ...

Legitimately college staffs should be made up of the head man, an associate that is fully familiar with the coach's system and is his go to guy for any Xs and Os or talent evaluating that the head man may lack, and two recruiting assistants. So with that said Arizona needs to move on from Pasternack...

I just don't get what changed Leaf's mind besides some AAU bullsh*t Miller has no control over. I am seeing a future, though, of Arizona filling up with solid character prospects nobody can really complain about on paper and can kick some World Games/Olympic butt, but losing out on the five-stars t...

Do we expect CSM to go Public like Patino over the show companys when Blakney decommitted from the Ville for LSU? CSM wants gets that want to be here. There hasnt been a lot of recruiting momentum since Leaf actually committed a year ago. I think we are seeing UCLA and other west coast take kids th...

Why are people under the impression that Sean Miller chooses his USA team? He doesn't. There's a committee that makes the choice on the roster. Miller has input on who makes the final roster, but Leaf was cut two phases before the final roster was chosen. This isn't some bitter high school teenage c...

Actually, I agree with Salim Shooter. The more I hear about this, the more comfortable I am with him not coming to Arizona. Not meant to be. Yeah, the fact that SM has been recruiting other bigs suggests he may have known more about this pending decommitment than some might think. He didn't from wh...

I wouldn't call him the golden goose He was more than good enough to be the starting PF on a title contending team next year as a true freshmen. Maybe not the golden goose, but not a single other guy we decided to be after for the sake of it is as good as him. Finnish kid is close, but still not as...

Choochoo step away from the cliff and breath! Just upset, because Miller had Zeus, Ashley, Chol, and Jerrett and we all saw how that worked out. So what does Miller do? Attempts to recreate the situation again with the multiple big offers he has out and in turn lost his NBA PF next year. It's ridic...

Lightfoot is Korchek 2.0 so he shouldn't matter, Comanche is CLEARLY A PROJECT so he's no sure thing. Ristic is only legit big man and who knows if he stays at az 4 years (thinking overseas for a few more so than NBA) going forward. Leaf is 100% a 4 not a 5 so I don't understand why Leaf would be u...

This is why you don't recruit over commitments. Say all you want about kids needing to compete. Kids are jackasses. I don't think anyone in the world should be scared off of Lightfoot, but the FInnish kid, De'ron Davis, when you already have Leaf, Ray Smith, pushing for Josh Jackson, and have Risti...

Anyone other then him we have been targeting at LB? You act like we're dying for LB depth next season. The only major contributor at the position who likely won't be back next year is Scooby.

I mean if we're pining for ridiculous talent our likely 2 starting corners this year, Denson and Neal, sure are that. Both were either equal to or higher ranked than Lucas and they both have multiple years left.

If I'm not mistaken the mighty UCLA Bruins has a practice facility that only has an 80 yard field. There are others as well that fall short of a full field. If we built one where Sancet/Kindall field is at I don't believe that'd be big enough for a full field either. Take a look at Google maps. Eve...

I for one am quite pleased with the recruiting results achieved thus far this year. That being said nobody can deny that we have had a number of misses in the past several classes. We will start the year with undersized walk-ons at both the Center and the Nose tackle positions. We will be the small...

Honestly as long as Rich Rod is our football coach I'm excited for every season regardless of landing recruits with lots of stars or not. This guy turned a team with multiple gash wounds into an 8 win team his first season and has only improved since.

I like last year's class quite a bit honestly. Sure no big star guys, but it's full of a lot of future contributors. Also historically the 4 stars Arizona has landed haven't ended up being much. Hell out of that heralded 2014 class only 2 of those 4 star recruits are expected to seriously contribute...

Scooby will be hard pressed to even get close to this numbers from last year. Just too many ifs in the LB corp as AngCat noted in his 50 days post so the O can key on him.
