He doesn't seem like the type to give an official date or drag this out. From everything I've heard and read about the family, they're pretty much all-business. I think as soon as he's reached a decision, he'll announce next day or so. Couldn't tell you our chances but we got the most minutes to of...

Let’s say we land Kaluma...this our starting lineup? Or would Kaluma come off the bench so Koloko could play the 5? PG- TBD SG- Kerr SF- Benn PF- Kaluma C- Tubelis ??? That would be mine yes and I assume it would be Lloyd’s. Love it. Bench of Koloko, Dalen, Nowell..that’s an 8 man rotation. Prefer ...

Tommy Lloyd is the exact opposite of Sean Miller in every way - from his style of game to his personality exact opposite surprised? Not every way, he’s passionate about recruiting yes, but different completely there as well- Miller was the king of the five star highjack, obsessed with the top 10 - ...

If that’s your concern then no coach is qualified for the job. Btw quit following @CoachingChanges lol.

Choo - do you have a good idea on the odds between Lloyd vs Damon? 70/30? 50/50?

goslingswagg

Lloyd is a big time hire imo and makes the firing of Sean Miller justified Tommy Lloyd has only ever coached at one place. I googled “Tommy Lloyd turns down” and couldn’t find even one article about how he was up for another job and turned them down. Big time, heh... I can guarantee you he would ha...

goslingswagg

If it’s not Lloyd or Damon I’d drop dead of a heart attack in shock. Can you explain to me... like I'm a 5 year old... how Lloyd could very well become the head coach of a top 10 job without a lick of experience? The same way Roy Williams became the head coach of Kansas. Hate to break it to you guy...

Here is Dave H email address. uofaad@arizona.edu Maybe he needs to hear from more than just me. Its Robbins you should be emailing. But it won't matter. my big fear is that Robbins fires Miller without securing Lloyd, he turns us down, and we end up hiring some like Jamie Dixon-esque re-tread after...

Is there anyone other than that one Twitter account suggesting Lloyd is actually an option? He’s very much an option. Although I don't love the way this entire fire/extension situation has gone down, I wouldn't mind that outcome... I don't mean to flame, this is a serious question. Were you aware o...

Mathurin leaving early would be so Arizona. truly the most AZ possible outcome of this offseason would be Mathurin leaving early...the team would be just good enough to not be upset heading into the year, but no real chance at a top 10 ceiling. it unfortunately feels like our destiny at this point ...

Yes, but not all of them will return.

It’s time guys. This is a pointless endeavor to continue this marriage. Choo, if you we ultimately do part ways with Miller is there any clue what caliber of coach we’d be able to pull?

3 crystal balls today for Marquette...doesn’t seem likely for us. It is what it is, don’t think he’s the type of recruit to get upset over. I’ll take a Tubelis or even Batcho type Euro big in the 2021 class and would be ok with that outcome.

Sounds like this is getting serious quick since the offer. Commitment soon? Nowell soon after? Literally both could pop at any time.

We basically continuing our general fringe top 25ness? That is my guess, yes. One more year with this core though and we...

Interesting progression 97...feel like I fell for the classic trap of underestimating Miller on the recruiting trail.

Miller is an absolute freak show on the recruiting grind...my god. Cautiously optimistic about next year's team - if the pieces fit well, think we have a chance to be really good.

goslingswagg

Anyone else find him- or herself defending Miller a lot of the time? So many of my UofA friends think Miller is unequivocally dirty and ought to be fired immediately. It’s irritating. It feels so weird...I feel myself needing to defend him regarding the entire FBI/ESPN-gate situation and at the sam...

Kriisa and Batcho finally got ranked today! 247 gave both 4 star rankings with Kriisa coming in at 61 and Batcho at 98. Not bad.

My preference would be to take a redshirt type candidate like Gorener, preferably a combo forward like he is, and then hold the last scholarship for a potential midseason transfer ala Akinjo.

FWIW I'd expect the international route to be a prominent route taken by Arizona from here set forth. It's the smart route to go...much easier to recruit those kids that aren't subject to all of the ESPN bullshit 24/7, and I think we also have a solid reputation with international players.

No.

He's a solid combo forward that needs to add strength, good developmental piece who can really shoot it.

Hope we're pitching him as a redshirt candidate, he needs to add a whole lot of strength. Like the offer though a lot.

Choo what’s your feeling on other Euro? I have no reason to think it doesn't happen, but people on the other site need to quit fucking talking about him already.

Great pickup, really excited about him. Seems like we want to seriously run a 2 PG system huh?

Gershon said they're also not one and done caliber. So realistically could have every position filled for the next couple of years.

Haarms has played in a lot of big battle tested game and would give Arizona size (he’s a legit 7’3) athleticism, and shot blocking paired with Koloko that few teams could match - add in a 6’11 Brown and Miller is a few pieces away from scrapping it together again. Center and Power forward would cer...

Haarms is a big recruit for Arizona - if Miller can land him he is one step closer to piecing it together for next year and probably staying alive I know you’re a fan but Haarms largely doesn’t do it for me. He essentially got benched on a pretty bad Purdue team this year and clearly regressed from...

Sure feels like any recruiting momentum or mojo Miller once had is just about gone. If he lands one or both of the Euros it'll significantly improve next year's team IMO. I really really like the post player if we can get him. I’ve said this in the past but pivoting to a euro-heavy recruiting appro...
