One of the few Lute era transfer-outs that succeeded in college. Think he led the nation in scoring at UNM his senior year.

Merkin

He is pretty lucky to even be a walk-on. He may not even be rec center good.

I don't think it's possible to get a degree in a year even with a ton of transfer credits, since many schools require 2 years in residence before they give you a diploma with their name on it. EDIT. Looks like you can. https://catalog.arizona.edu/policy/program-graduation/degrees-programs/undergradu...

Love isn't in the portal, so how can he transfer? It's either playing professionally or return to Arizona.

Still has until May 1st though.

Merkin

Or Ray Guy.

Merkin

Maybe that's why Euros are happier and the US is not even top 20 in happiness.

Not once since I retired 4/30/2020 have I wished I was working.

Merkin

I work with quite a few folks who just do the bare minimum. Hey, I did my share! Although one of the leads shared with me a comment the old director made about me and other employees to pass onto the new director. He said: [Merkin] works to live, does not live to work. He knew me well! No wonder I ...

Merkin

the shop "discriminated" against him for his Indian descent.

But he goes by Rogers instead of Thakore because?

Merkin

Don't know who this guy is or what his site is, but he heard Arkansas and Indiana.

Is this the ashes of old Ace's old PGU?

Merkin

Last I looked there were about 130 or so players declaring early for the NBA draft. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/news/nba-draft-2024-who-declared-list-early-entrant-prospects/6fc52266b6ce68203b72c634 Only 60 get invites to the camp based on NBA team votes and 60 total players get drafted.

Merkin

Taller than Townsend, maybe they can switch on defense.

Kentucky: “Great program, great coaches and I can learn a lot.”

Guess we will have to see on that with Pope now.

Merkin

I get the transfer portal and NIL, but aren't conference rivalries a thing anymore? Maybe Mike Stoops was right.

Merkin

At least UA doesn't have to play him again, at least in a scheduled game.

You will not outbid UT for NIL money.

Merkin

Certainly not as big or strong as Keshad, but a really good athlete. I think majority of his shots were at the rim.

Merkin

She should ask him what his NFL nickname was.

Merkin

...and so it begins. Reggie Bush wants his Heisman Trophy back, believes NCAA should reinstate his records https://sports.yahoo.com/reggie-bush-wants-his-heisman-trophy-back-believes-ncaa-should-reinstate-his-records-175108605.html Give that man his property back https://twitter.com/PeteThamel/stat...

Jaden, love, KJ, townsend, and Krivas would be pretty terrible for spacing. also extremely small
I really don’t see Love being back.

How can he turn down a million bucks when he is looking at 1/5th of that overseas?

Merkin

Merkin

Just no.

Merkin

Obviously would be good to get Awaka and Townsend, but with no outside game at the 4 and 5, defenses will just pack the paint again and dare the Cats to shoot from the perimeter, and Love will be more than happy to oblige.

Merkin

Probably a good thing I guess if Love is coming back.

Merkin

Doesn't read very promising for getting some killer transfers if they are offering Love a cool mil to come back. He will never come close to that overseas.

Just nuts that non-NBA caliber players like Ballo and Love can command that kind of money.

Merkin

No wonder Boswell and Ballo bailed. I am certainly with Gumby here.

Merkin

Merkin

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.

Merkin

Just that if he does come back, I don't expect anything to change. Love is 23, and has been playing elite level NCAA basketball longer than Lloyd has been a head coach at any level. In any event, Lloyd's 3 transfer recruits last year were all signed in May, and no doubt things are in the works no on...

I was referring to the conference as a whole. B12 paying out $31.6M per school, and the Big 10 will be paying out at least $65M.

Like Arenas mentioned, UCLA has the best of everything already.

Merkin

"Feels like home" is a great indicator for Arizona. But he already lives in the LA area for family and friends to see him, UCLA is a better school academically, and going to a better conference with better money, along with the great LA weather makes it a tough choice Don't think neither program hav...

Merkin

You need potential NBA players to go far in the tourney. Easy choice then.

And if he isn't a 1&D, then we get years out of him, not just one more like you get with Love.

I recall that altercation with Singer.

Still a loss on the UA record books though, but no longer a win for ASU, so pull down the billboard!

Merkin

We all did, Irish. But even when I was there (late 90s/early 00s), college hoops had already started its transformation into a de facto minor league for the NBA (or pro leagues internationally). It wasn't until 1991 that Lute had a player leave who still has eligibility left, and that was BDub/Biso...

Yea, that's not happening. Fisch could use the excuse that he didn't know about the rape until after JDL was already enrolled as a student, but Brennan can't use it and it probably never came up in discussion.

If of all people Fisch won't pick up JDL to backup Rogers, then you know he is toxic.

If Ballo gets a cool mill...

That’s cute merk. Where abouts in Nc are they living? They lived in Havelock near New Bern. Really nice area, outside of the humidity and being in Trumpistan.

Pelle must have signed with a non-NCAA approved agent, that is an automatic disqualifier. I imagine Love's agent is on the NCAA approved list.

Merkin

My daughter bought her house site unseen in NC, and I told her the same thing, rent to know the area. She did fine though. None of my adult kids listen to me. Looks like a pretty nice apartment complex although they do seem a bit small but laid out very nicely. https://resource.rentcafe.com/image/up...

Merkin

Guess we can see him, or not see him, in the double secret scrimmages the UA has with St. Mary's.

Merkin

They could always go in and then come back out. But maybe going in means they'll get recruited over and if they don't end up finding a new school they're hosed. This is true. Once you enter the portal your current school no longer has to honor your scholarship. Not sure about players that apply for...
