Bear Down Wildcats

goslingswagg

Mathurin is a really solid pickup, happy to have a high upside and improving wing like him. I've seen a few sources online thinking he is the #1 Canadian recruit in the 2020 class.

My only hope is that he was sold as being a 3 year type player and not a OnD.

Ben Mathurin says he is picking between us or Baylor on the 15th. What’s the vibe here? Don't have a feel for it honestly. Not sure anybody outside of Canada does. kinda like going into a commitment and not knowing who leads, makes it more fun... that being said, my frustrations with miller are mak...

Rawle - you are wrong about UCLA being better than Arizona. Better history, yes. But we are absolutely a more desirable job than UCLA now, no doubt about that.

goslingswagg

Man....that was really hard to watch. I try very hard to not be too reactionary as a fan but idk this performance just really got to me.

Might be time to fire up the hot board? Ugh

goslingswagg

You guys know what's the difference between Arizona being an undefeated team (or a least have 2-3 fewer losses) and what we are now? Brandon Williams. Can you imagine if we had BWill and Terry Armstrong? Not only would Smith be rendered irrelevant, we would be the prohibitive favorites to win the t...

Crazy bastards even played some zone. Was key to victory, I’d say. Yup 2 in the first half. Was certainly the difference tonight. Gotta say, I keep coming back to something we discussed a few weeks ago - we need Jeter to get his annual injury soon because Koloko is a fantastic talent. Ceiling is so...

any insight on how the akinjo visit went? im sure he was impressed with the atmosphere (early at least lol). Hard to imagine the game made much of an impression, unless he is considering Gonzaga. Which he is. Have a feeling that, since he left town without a commitment, he's going to be tough to pu...

“The grass is always greener on the other side--that's because we can't see over the fence." I know this is overdone, but I cant help but think of it every time after these talk come up following rough losses. These "drop Miller if ____ happens" comments have constantly stumped me. They aren't just...

goslingswagg

Choo - agree with all your points there regarding Miller sort of being stuck in a similar cycle year-in, year-out for the last 5 years or so w/r/t recruiting. I would also add that I don't think the defensive system we run makes ANY sense when your recruiting philosophy is largely driven by getting ...

That game wasn't much fun to watch but whoa boy did I enjoy Koloko's play. I don't mind losing that game - early, injured/sick, tough opponent - and we got it to a respectable spread by the end. But it's starting to stand out that Jeter is a weakness in our starting line-up and that both rim protec...

I thought Zeke struggled in that tournament....clearly he's a good player (as evidenced by his numbers appearing to be pretty solid even in the tourney), but his turnovers/offensive fouls are a significant issue, and I thought his defense was poor throughout.

Do we know if Mathurin is committing pretty soon? We could do with some positive recruiting momentum.

If we land Terry, Walton, Williams and Miller then it is just more proof that Sean really is unparalleled in recruiting. I think a class of Terry, Walton, Williams, and Frank Anselem is a very likely class at the moment (pending on sanctions). If BWill doesn't look realistic for next year then add ...

I've actually seen more information on him if you use his full name, Bennedict Mathurin, when searching for him. His highlight tape on YouTube is very intriguing. From everything I've read, he looks to be really good. Seems to be one of the top, if not the top, Canadian kid in the class. Should be a...

Illinois insiders seem to think he isn't going there unless Ayo Dosunmu leaves after this year, which....idk Ayo definitely doesn't look like a first round pick at this point in time.

CJ Holmes just tweeted that he heard we may be the favorite for Adam Miller....

YdF - I actually really like Horford as a best case scenario comp for Zeke...I think that makes a lot of sense for him. Vecenie loves the comp to Hansborough, but I think Zeke is more coordinated and quicker, and also has shown better outside shooting potential than Hansborough.

goslingswagg

You're my hero YDF. You're right and so are Sam and Cole. FWIW you could argue that Christian Koloko is a better pro PROSPECT than Nnaji. Either way Nnaji is a 1st rounder and with another year could be a lotto guy by showing more range on that jumper and improved D. I love how high the staff is on...

ChooChooCat wrote:Just land Walton and losing Puff means nothing.

Yup. Walton seems like a good fit for Miller’s more recent MO - low ego, hard worker, multi-year, good shooter. Really hoping we can close on him.

goslingswagg

Should have waited to pick him, heard rumors he would play. Hope he comes back soon. Next week seems likely. I know someone who has been to a few practices. His text to me last night, "you think we look good & fast now wait until you see this team with Doutrive." Uh huh so he's still balling out in...

Crazy! Why do you think national media are ignoring Zeke, choo? If he's going to be OaD, he is *very* under the radar at the moment. They go by recruit rankings. If he's not the best player on the team already he's damn close. I've said this before, but if we have 3 first round picks on this team, ...

According to Jake Weingarten, Frank Ansalem is on campus for an official visit right now...seems somewhat out of the blue? Have heard he is likely reclassifying. Not able to find a ton of highlights of him, but we will likely need a big in the 2020 class if Zeke is one-and-done.
