I guess we can take the student part out of student-athlete. Having worked for a university myself for many years, it's really hard to graduate with so many transfer credits going to 3 different schools. Not like high school. At least where I worked, you had to be a student for 2 years to graduate n...

My old boss had a kidney stone. Said it was more painful than childbirth, and she had 2 kids.

Fisch just proving again who he is. Good riddance. Don't recall wishing a former UA coach ill will since Larry Smith.

Ill will meaning poor performance and losing seasons, nothing more.

Merkin

AD getting roasted, but not ratioed so I guess that's a good thing.

Just can't even imagine having BYU code of conduct athletes then trying to deal with elite athletes who are normal college aged students doing normal college aged student things. Kind of reminds me of Ben Lindsey who won two NAIA championships, then had to deal with scholarship athletes at Arizona. ...

Krivas has been practicing against Ballo all season, so does have that going for him.

Merkin

A Mormon who has double digit losses most years and never won a conference championship?

Can't imagine that will win the presser.

Merkin

Doubt Lloyd is holding a spot for him though. Once you enter the portal, you relinquish your scholarship.

Now who goes to Lexington for Mexican food when you are living in Texas?

Looking him up, Brase played in 26 games, made 8 2PT and 1 3PT. Well done!

Cats sure could have used Salim the last few years. Too bad he never caught on in the league.

Shades of Scheer hiding in the bushes at the Tucson airport looking for Tim Floyd.

Perfect example of the Conference of Champions, 3 nattys! No better time to leave.

The AD was eating one while interviewing Miller. And being a total slob about it.
It was Maryland, not South Carolina. SC was RichRod.

Eebs, our Goazcats and BDW historian!

Then again money talks. Didn’t Miller flirted with S. Carolina?

And if it wasn't for a messy burger he might still be there!

One of my female cousins who played and coached collegiate basketball posted this. I had no idea.

Merkin

I can't even imagine Lloyd is in serious consideration for any blue blood program. Sean Miller too. Both losing to teams ranked 4 spots or lower multiple times. I get crap for saying this, but it's all about success in the tourney. Usually when you hear that your coach is in contention for another p...

Come on down Cream! This guy would get absolutely steamrolled and humiliated by actual competition. No one saying he will be all-conference, but he did score 26 points against Utah, with 8/9 2PT, 3/5 3PT, 10 boards, 3 assists, 1 TO. However, Ballo-esque at the FT line, 1-3, although he was 9-9 FT v...

I can’t remember a year with this much roster turnover. I think the 2000-1 turnover was much worse. Loren Woods graduated, and Jefferson, Arenas, Wright and Gardner all declared for the draft. Jason Gardner was humiliated in the NBA camp, and fortunately came back to Arizona, but unfortunately for ...

Merkin

Been saying it for years, but I really hate watching all the free throws. just disrupts the flow of the game. Every FT shooter only gets one attempt. If it's an AND ONE, it's worth 1 point. If in the bonus, or fouled during a missed shot attempt, it's worth 2 points. If fouled during a missed 3 poin...

Nothing but best wishes for Boswell. Go to X, work on your PG skills under Miller!

Merkin

That is pretty funny, never thought of it that way.

Merkin

Not sure what that's about, but there is no harming in declaring and getting NBA feedback. No penalty anymore for declaring, then returning after getting your report.

I've seen a couple comments above from different posters who claim next season will be different. Love won't chuck as much. Lloyd won't let him chuck as much. The Clemson game is a perfect example of who Love and Lloyd are. Love is going to keep on chucking and Lloyd will give him the green light. H...

Would have been a lot more if it wasn't on ESPN.

Romered?

Hopefully for Reynaud if 2 bigs transfer out the same day.

VegasCatFan wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2024 2:15 pm I wonder if he can stretch his shot out to the 3-point line every once in awhile.

Veesaar can. And until the Cats replace Keshad, we may see him a lot out there. Henri was 5-10 3PT his last FIBA season.

Merkin

My work here is done then.

Merkin

I'd only take Ballo back since we are so lacking in a physical presence at center. Boswell, Love and Larsson can all go with my best wishes. I am done with them.

Cats really need a 4 to replace Keshad. That is without a doubt the biggest need.

Merkin

That would take the last scholarship wouldn't it? No wonder UA isn't hitting the portal that hard.

Merkin

I imagine Oumar is NIL shopping, same with Boswell. UA collectives can't afford all the players. Need to find a Tyson style donor like Arkansas has.

Krivas was quite developed as a freshman, good footwork, and I don't think Stephen will be.

Merkin

Hasn't the UA lost in the NCAAs to a seed ranked 4 positions or more below them 5 or 6 appearances in a row? Although some posters may not agree, but for some of us it's all about the NCAAs. Regular season is all about getting a good seed, not about hanging regular season championship banners from t...

First thing that came to me too.

Would make zero sense for Hurley to leave UConn. He’s got that program rolling in a way it rarely has before. UK should hire Barnes, Sampson or Shaka. Scheer says it's Scott Drew or Nate Oats. Outside of the Covid tainted championship, it's been a while since Baylor made it out of the first weekend...

Merkin

Can Marquette afford her? She made $1.2M.

Merkin

Merkin

Cats need a 4, not another wing! Peavy shot 31% 3PT last season, career 27%, and 61% FT, career 59%. Not a shooter.

Who is Teddy KGB? RA can answer, but I imagine it's somewhat based on the John Malkovich character gambling. Rumors about Boswell liking to party, but I recall very well Richard Jefferson and Luke Walton having some monster good times too. https://decider.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/rounders-joh...

Fred, we got a job for you...

CTL promises NO ONE a starting job period. Performance determines playing time. True, but the issue with Lloyd last season is that once you start, you remain a starter. How many coaches had the same starting lineup game 1 as game 36, with every game between them the same outside of Grant Weitman st...

Some players develop, and some do not. Kriisa and Boswell have not, that's what they have in common. Have they gotten better, sure, but they are both streaky AF and not willing to drive. Kriisa had 7 games with 1 or less 3pt shots made at WVU, and had 18 games with 1 or less 2pt shots made. Kriisa h...

That's a great angle. Since it's so blatant it had to be called. https://twitter.com/BarbMcQuade/status/17766459632029...
