Either way to get the thread back on track the focus is on Haarms big time. Arizona hasn't given up on Walton, but they've gotten way more aggressive with Charles Minlend, so it's probably a first to commit situation now. I think the international guard happens too, but I don't know complete detail...

With maybe no football this year and losing that revenue, and needing to fire Sumlin first I don't see any harm in giving Miller an extension. Especially one that fixes the clause where he gets paid more if he gets fired WITH cause. Truth be told Miller should either be fired or extended right now....

goslingswagg

The sanctions are meaningless (if you don't believe me look at USC's recruiting), the 1 year remaining on his contract is every thing. Choo- wouldn’t it behoove both parties to have signed an extension this offseason that wouldn’t change our buyout numbers? So that Miller isn’t recruiting with one ...

Honestly, I wouldn’t mind moving on now. What is this lame duck season going to do for us? We’re gonna be super mediocre next year. Would rather move on, get a new coach in place and get started on the 2021 class.

Nobody in their right mind should feel like a USC basketball player.
I believe Ziaire is someone with a right mind FWIW. Doesn't mean it's us though of course.

Hope Seanny is read to drop that bag.

I’d be really surprised if we thrived next year...just don’t see it barring a Ziaire/Banchero pick up level pick up.

Basically have to get Ziaire or a Paolo Banchero reclass at this point to salvage this class....if he doesn't pull that off, time to fire up the hot board (probably already time tbh).

I'm pretty concerned we're going to lose Walton now that UNC has a scholarship for him....

Juzang just committed to UCLA...not losing sleep over this one.

Brandon Roy? That was going to be my guess. Not much better NW connection with coaching experience (He is coaching at Garfield HS) out there. I would be very excited if that was the hire, although his Washington teams are right at the top of my list of teams I hated the most. Gotta be JET or Roy I ...

Wow...then we most definitely will be playing a system with two PGs/combo guards at once. Very interesting. International? I don't think I've seen us seriously connected with any more combo guard transfers.

goslingswagg

Will be competing with Baker for minutes. Jemarl needed competition, and good insurance for Akinjo missing first semester as Choo and others have discussed. Seems like we may play a decent amount of time with two of Akinjo, Terrell Brown, and Jemarl on the floor together as somewhat of a two-PG lin...

Yup, he'd fit right in wouldn't he? Yeah, I just don't get what Miller is looking for, outside of small transfer PGs who aren't very good. Don’t want to be a Miller defender here but to be fair, he’s not the most efficient player but he averaged 21, 6, and 5 and was a first team all WAC player this...

goslingswagg

Good to hear Choo. Wonder if the potential new assistant may have some sway with Terrell Brown from USeattle as well. Seems like he would be a solid GT add (although we’ve certainly gone down that road before and been disappointed).

Juzang is infinitely a better prospect than Baker.[/quote]

Ok good...just worried he's got the same slow feet issues defensively, and isn't much of a creator. Feels like a shooting specialist to me, but I'm glad you like him a lot more.

haha I agree Chi, we definitely need something positive in our lives. Choo - any guys in particular that you think we potentially land?

By the time this hire is made Ziaire will have long made his commitment. Whoever gets hired will have zero impact on 2020 recruiting. Welp that's just great then.

Interesting. Kinda like the 2019-20 team. Maybe better, actually. my expectations were better than the results this season I’m frustrated that we didn’t get to finish the season, in some ways it’s sort of Miller getting let off the hook. Very frustrating regular season for sure though. Willing to s...

Outside of Johnny Juzang, I'd keep an eye on this guy as a grad transfer with two more years of elibility, as a primary target. https://twitter.com/JustinByerly/status/1244068685985091586 I wouldn’t mind him at all, looks like a solid wing shooter and I really like that he has two years of eligibil...

Is this 100% related to the investigation? It's part of it, but certainly not the biggest issue. Also a grad transfer we wanted just chose Xavier over us. Scheer is making it seem like he wasn’t a definite take for us...man I’m losing hope reading this thread. Gotta be some decent international kid...

I think there's now a pretty deeply rooted "culture" of OAD in place in college hoops. That is, the practice of using college as a glorified pro tryout has gone on for years, and it's genuinely surprising when a high-level player deviates from this practice.

Is there any chance at all that any of the 3 would come back? I imagine not having the ability to have work outs for any teams right now is not a good thing for some of these guys. They're all gone.

For the Scott Drew fans here, GCU just hired his brother to be their coach. are there Scott Drew fans? I guess this year gets him to that level.

Pretty sure Ziaire is OAD. Maybe use that scholarship on a guy who wants to stay in college longer? Mentioned it a couple times, but Miller not going after Jaylen Clark is exhibit A of him just not understanding what this program is missing and what types of players he would succeed with.

Chris Jans This is a hire I could get behind, the dude knows how to coach. I'm into Jans, he's very good. Gotta think we give Holtmann and Scott Drew a lot of attention to start though, right? Beilein with an outside shot. More than anything, we need a coach that is willing to develop players.

Great thread today...I agree with pretty much everything said to this point. I think it's time to move on, the program's reputation has slowly regressed the last few years and I don't want to see it continue prospectively.

He just doesn’t have the juice anymore as sad as it is to say...really hope we can find a mutual exit that is a win win...but yeah I think this year should be it for coach Miller/Zona.

Just my opinion but I think people expecting Terry to be a primary ball handler at any point next year are going to be disappointed...and I don't think Baker should be handling many PG minutes either, he's much more of a 2-guard imo.

If we land Ziaire, would that be the final member of our '20 class? Terry, Mathurin, Williams, and ?? Also, we definitely lose Nico, Josh, Zeke, Chase, Stone, Max and Dylan. That's seven players! Are there whispers of any other transfers, early departures, etc.? Walton is the more obvious one. Akin...
