Good, I’m glad to hear it. I’m enjoying the new association and look forward to more activity.

Board Activity

Man, as a new poster here, this board is lightly trafficked! I hope it’s because it is the off season and things pick up. Surely y’all (or ‘all y’all’ as they say down south) have more to say about our Wildcats.

Bear Down.

Atmosphere around the Football Program

A constant refrain from recruits is they like the energy the coaching staff has and the family environment is a positive. But more importantly, they express a belief that the coaches, from Fisch on down, believe they are building something special at Arizona. The recruits are feeling that, the curre...

Re: Coach Candrea

I honestly think he’s too excited about his freshmen to walk away yet. Never, ever discount the probability that Robbins will hire exactly the person that Robbins wants, even if it makes absolutely no sense. Candrea’s opinion will be meaningless, much like Tomey’s endorsement of Ken N from Navy was...

Re: Coach Candrea

Was thinking this morning, if Candrea decides to step down and they decide to hire within (former player), here is my top-4: 1)Stacy Iveson- this is of course if she still wants to coach. She has the most experience and won championships at Pima and Yavapai. 2)Kristie Fox-she was named Mountain Wes...

Re: 2021 Season Thread

If Coach Candrea chooses to retire, presumably he has a good idea who would be most qualified to take the program over, whether that be Caitlin Lowe, Kristie Fox, or someone else. Hopefully our bullheaded President would listen.

Offensive Line

The OL is thought to be a real cause for concern, yet we failed to pick up any transfers through the portal to provide immediate help. I read this two possible ways: One, quality Offensive Linemen are a rare commodity and to take one just to bring in another warm body would be wasteful, particularly...

Re: Tommy Lloyd

Welcome to the board BetaCat. Most of us have been diehard fans for 30+ years. The thing I love the most about this board is the cool collective vibe. If you love drama and overreaction you might want to look elsewhere. We barely flinched when Miller was fired. The search for our new coach was like...

Can’t wait to piss this new dude off. There were members like this on the other message board. I didn’t like them either. He’s just goofing around lol - this group is great Glad to hear it, because there were A-holes on the other site who meant it. Couldn’t stand a positive, supportive POV.

Re: Can Lloyd Recruit?

“Cretin?” Man, that’s harsh! I never understand fans ‘throwing the baby out with the bath water.’ Tommy Lloyd is the coach and I support him, even though I was in favor of extending Miller.

Re: Can Lloyd Recruit?

Many were wanting Miller to change strategy to more multi year players over the One and Done, and it appears he was headed in that direction. I expect Lloyd will feature more multi year players and emphasize fit and player development. Arizona will play an entertaining, free flowing style and that, ...

Re: 2021 Recruit/Commitment Thread

Regarding Fisch’s “negligence” to the offense, I take that to mean two things: One, he and his coaches believe they won’t be in any games if they can’t stop, or at least slow down, the other team; Two, as an offensive coach, he believes he can effect improvement on that side of the ball through sche...

I hated the process for the football coach search also, even sent scores of nasty emails to Prez Robbins (did the same during the BB extend/fire/hire fiasco). I have to admit, despite my contempt for Robbins, I am quite excited about both hires. Both guys bring a lot of energy, and both guys are tru...

Re: Tommy Lloyd

My inaugural post here. I favored extending Miller, but understand the reasoning behind removing him. Now that Tommy Lloyd is our HC, I fully support him and, frankly, am quite optimistic about his success at Arizona. By all accounts he is a solid evaluator of talent and I expect his brand of basket...
