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.

Hopefully WBB is better suited to the European game.

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 ...

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.

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.

Merkin

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 ...

He was a walk on and later was rewarded a scholarship. That’s exactly how it is done. You don’t take a LS in the portal. Show me any other P4 program doing that? Are there any?

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.

Merkin

What's the address? I can't get to that link: High Risk Website Blocked

Note Nellis has F35s which are so loud they were not allowed to be deployed at DM.

Merkin

UA had Nathan Tilford too, a 4 star RB, but could never crack the rotation since he couldn't block or figure out the UA playbook. Maybe the same thing with Tutogi?

The Kriisa thread hasn't been moved, and he is already on his way to his 2nd non-UA team.

What's the money line he even shows up? Not a commit until he signs which is 2/5/2025.

Between the portal and NIL money, that's still a very long time away.

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...

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.

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.

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

Can't imagine that will win the presser.

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