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.

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.

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...

He probably has to spell his name out whenever he checks in.

Name please?
Greg Doyle. That's "greg" with 3 g's.
Huh?

Merkin

I see even Biden is getting involved with her WNBA salary. And like I keep saying, that's just peanuts compared to her endorsement deals.

Merkin

Like has been noted, he wouldn't have done that with LeBron.

A little history here from JMJ

Merkin

He had the highest draft potential, so good for him. Hope he has a very long NBA career, although from my understanding NBA players need to do one thing extremely well, and Larsson is good at everything, but great at nothing.

NIL and the transfer portal have made a system of hired mercenaries with no pretense at all of being students.

Especially since English is at best his 2nd language.

Thought this was about his decision, but a great post.

Old timers might remember UA QB Tom Tunnecliffe. His dad must have thought he was the next Joe Montana because he called up certain NFL teams and told them not to draft Tom. Tom was a winner like Joe, but was too short and didn't have a deep throwing arm. Looks like Tom worked for his dad, who recen...

Did he ever graduate from Cal?

Why all know the dumb jock stereotype. Would would anyone listen to him about anything besides football?

He knows more than Fauci does?

Merkin

I can't see this ever gaining traction. The "Haves" of college football (B1G/SEC) are not going to share revenue with anyone. I think it's just to get NCAA out of football. From the linked article: First reported by The Athletic earlier this month, CST’s initiative assumes that a more concentrated ...

How long before athletes will not even be required to enroll in school??? College football/basketball might as well be classified as Minor Leagues or Semi-Pro Especially when many of them attend 3 or more universities, where it's near impossible to get a degree unless you spent enough semesters in ...

Merkin

Actually since Bradley is more of a combo guard, I would love to try Love as the PG if he returns, as long as he doesn't have the green light on the perimeter unless it's a "good shot", which apparently he still has yet to learn.

Merkin

That's a relief. 2019/20 and 2020/1 would have kicked the UA to the lower league.

Merkin

I guess you have to be a Mormon to be a BYU coach. Don't think any other religious schools require the coach to be the same religion as the school sponsor.

Only 2 years coaching in college, all the rest have been in different pro leagues so very limited recruiting experience.

Merkin

Why wasn't he a starter, only started 4 games last season and 21 over 4 years?

100 for 201 3PT attempts. That's Steve Kerr good. The 3PT line has been moved out twice since Kerr's record setting season.

Merkin

I imagine there is a good chance he returns since he is not going into the portal and has 0 chance for a NBA contract.

Question is, would Lloyd want him to? Obviously Lloyd has limited control over Love.

Merkin

No harm in getting NBA feedback, and a great idea to keep eligibility.

Merkin

Good article here on those transferring out during the Lloyd era. Very similar to the Lute era, where some thrived elsewhere (e.g. Ruben Douglas) while many just disappeared to the end of the bench at new spots. https://zonazealots.com/posts/where-are-they-now-what-happened-to-arizona-basketball-tra...

Did the PAC-12 not vet George? You think that would have come out first day.

Don't know anything, but listed at 6'6" 220 with 37.5% 3PT I would strongly suspect he is looking for a spot on a team as a wing to improve his pro chances. Take Larsson's spot. Then move to the 4 for small ball. Seems like a no-brainer to me to get the kid from Oakland, it will be his 5th year and ...

That old A's team sure was fun to watch.

Merkin

Looking at the dates when last season's incoming transfers were announced.

Keshad 5/20/23
Love 5/30/23
Bradley 5/3/23

If that pattern holds true for this upcoming season, still a lot of major changes to the roster that can happen.

Merkin

Never make that in any pro league with his abilities, so I can certainly see why he went into the portal.

Nice for him too being a foreign "student" that he doesn't have to do shit for it.

Merkin

Wow, brand new. Love the kitchen, and having more bathrooms than bedrooms.

End unit too, and HOA only $199 mo.
