That performance was pathetic. And you might be right as the 3 other teams in the NFC West are pretty damn good. Just don't know what to expect from this team week after week. Need some damn consistency. Oh and how about figuring out how to pick up a blitz every now and then. West coast team playin...

So Mashack is off the board, how far down the list are we now? That is at least 6 swings (Mashack, Silva, Watson, Hickman, Gregg [likely], Banchero [reach], Australian guys and the other guys with limited interest) and misses of various degrees and has me a little worried.

I like what I've seen from the little tape I could find from KJ Allen. My biggest question is how many spots do we think will be open next year? Do we think Azuolas Tubelis will be a oad? Without him leaving I see probably 3 or 4 spots open as someone is always bound to rather leave early or transf...

Donovan isn't leaving the NBA. The Sixers, Bulls, Pacers, and Pelicans will be knocking down his door with a truck full of cash.

Gregg is headed to Zaga. Remaining recruits to focus on for the fall signing period are Daron Holmes, Shane Nowell (props to Scheer and his crew for being way out ahead on this one), D’marco Dunn, and Jamarion Sharp. CCC, are you familiar enough with Nowell/Dunn/Mashack to compare/contrast games an...

Do any of you guys really believe that say if Terry and/or Mathurin left that Sean Miller would not be able to find a capable replacement even at the last second?

So back to back years of strike outs on all the top guys? Is this a truly concerted effort to not recruit one and dones or are we in a recruiting slump?

Good odds another one joins him by next month. Choo, assume you are referring to Gregg, although I would hope for Mashack. Hearing anything on Caleb Houstan?

So I saw yesterday we made the final 8 for Alex Tchikou, a 6'11 forward out of Phoenix. He announced this after we reclassified to this year's recruiting class. Only scenario I see us be able to get him is if BWill leaves and T. Tubelis becomes a walk-on. What are the odds we get him and what does ...

Seeing as how I am in the Bay Area and can attest personally to the high cost of rent in this area, ASUHATER you are wrong. Especially if the picture of the house they rented is accurate.

I think JT gets a shot at a HC gig within 2 years. He was in the running for a pretty decent one (lost out to another former player) before he took the job. He has a ton of connections in basketball at all levels and once he establishes a little bona fide... doors will open. In the meantime I think ...

I think the exact opposite. What CSM (Murphy) has done is solidified a legit chance at the PAC12 and tournament appearance. Add in JET with a 2 year deal and pretty sure CSM is a lock for some kind of extension.

Akinjo 25/Krissa 15
Baker 20/Krissa 5/Brown 10/Terry 5
Mathurin 25/Terry 15
Tubelis 20/Brown 10/Lee 10
Brown 15/Koloko 15/Tubelis 5/Batcho 5
Groener RS
Tubelis RS

Ultimately, I think the crunch time/tournament rotation is:
Akinjo
Krissa
Baker
Mathurin
Terry
Tubelis
Brown
Koloko

Not that I'm aware of. He's more setting himself up for the Pasternack route i.e. getting a better smaller school job and going from there.

As is Terry

Choo - Can you speak to play style of the Euro Big? Is he a stretch 4/5 (Lauri, Frye (NBA)), low post scorer (Zeke, Jordan Hill), defensive protetector (Koloko, Loren Woods), a high energy workhorse (Ira, Edgerson) or just a freak (Ayton)? Feels more like a bit bigger, bit more ready Ivan Radenovic...

That and/or have some soft skills red flags that the other schools pass on. I can’t imagine any program in the country passing on our three freshmen knowing they were OAD.

I'll say this, Sean Miller has made additions to his coaching staff for different reasons. Some times he's chosen guys because he know he can trust them (Phelps, Peters, Gainey, Whitford) and some because he thinks they can help him in one way or another. He didn't know Pasternack, but he thought h...

We need more of stretch as none of our current bigs are shooters. Brown may have more of a shot, but lee and koloko are dunkers.

Maybe Jason Gardner? Good call J, last I heard he was out of work since his DUI. I was think JeT, now retired, but he doesn't need to work all that hard now.
