Yeah I'd go with TJ. He had the biggest impact of any transfer I can remember.
Chris Mills.

Loren Woods.

Will be interesting to see how this season plays out because we have a ton of transfers. If this team does something special, maybe someone gives TJ a run for his money.

I was 5 when Chris Mills transferred here, so I don't remember him. And I totally spaced Loren Woods was a transfer.

I love how Don is saying we'll be prepared for conference play like the Pac is a gauntlet.

The hustle from these walk-ons is my favorite part of this game.

You sound like Purdue fans heading to Evanston for another “tune-up” for the big #1 vs #2 showdown

Super fun game. Bring on the Badgers and that #1 ranking.

I'm not saying we'll go undefeated, because we wont. But this OOC is much tougher than our conference schedule.

And looks like Houston will be #2 - Xavier and CSM gave them a battle for most of last nite…

Outstanding Wildcat, but I wouldn't put him as high as Mills or TJM.

Chris Mills was awesome, I got a poster autographed after a game I went to. That was like my second or third game I ever went to.

Give me Bennett Davison for immediate impact. The exact guy we needed on that team.

Tom Tolbert too.

Woods was a head case, but he certainly was the best rim defender I can recall.

Williams/Dele was the best player I have ever seen in a Wildcat uniform, when he wanted to be, which was rare. Like he said himself, he didn't even like the game, he was just good at it.

Pete Williams arguably had a bigger impact on the program than any other transfer.

Ben Davis deserves a mention.

Thought we were a little rusty in the first half. Second half was fun to watch.

Mills was the best transfer I think ever at Arizona. It wouldn't have happened if the money being sent from Kentucky to his dad didn't break open.

If you watched the Badger's today they have a great offensive scheme and a pretty good big man to protect the rim. Close to the best team I have seen this year (I know they have 2 loses).
