I don't either but 502 is the Louisville area code. Skaggs went to high school there before her family moved to AZ.

Guess it's a lock for UL then. If UA can't compete with NIL money with Gonzaga, not even going to think about how much UL has.

UL fans have been confident since they got involved. We've got to figure out NIL regardless of Bryant's decision.

Not sure what we can do for NIL. You have the common fans FOW&W giving monthly. Big donors have donated to seed the project at over 1m each. Hard to ask for that every year. Businesses like Click have done stuff for players but let’s face it, Tucson is not an economic powerhouse.

The NIL scares me. I don’t see how AZ can compete. All we really have is a few car dealers and a couple casinos.
Click isn’t a young dude plus he has interests in So Cal and OK, I believe.

Bullshit loser talk

Tucson metro is over 1 million people

Everyone gives $20 you don't think an extra $20 Million helps the collectives? Bull fucking shit loser talk

All of Tucson is running players off the team and recruits out of town. It's appalling and morally reprehensible. It's an entire town of losers who are full of loser bullshit talk. Players, recruits and coaches have no say in how this transpires because there's no capitalistic or personal self interest at work. The only people in charge and to blame are those who are entirely outside of athletic programs and college administrations, namely, the bad fans and collectives who control everything. Tucson as an aggregate municipal population must repent in the true confessional mode. Anything less than that is bullshit loser talk.

Dove is a retired Forester, which makes him a genius by definition. He can look at the seemingly most trivial details and see how minute changes will impact the boarder landscape hundreds of years from now.

The great thing is if we're wrong, nobody knows til we've been dead for a long time so, there.

as reliable as the Hindenburg.

The issue with the crystal balls is that they’ve become a circle jerk. One school “insider” hears positive news and the rest then jump in to mirror that prediction based on nothing more than the idea that momentum is swinging that way.

I feel like five years ago these predictions were based on actual journalism. Calling the family, texting the player, getting his AAU coach’s take, and talking to the recruiters. Now it’s “I don’t want to be the last one to predict this thing it seems like everyone else is predicting”.

IMNSHO, the ONLY problem with "Crystal Balls" recruiting projections is the people who think they are worth anything more than brief moment of elation upon reading them. After that, to give them any credence, or even mention them to anyone else is to reveal oneself to be uncritical!!

Merk made the point either in this thread or elsewhere that the other school he's mainly considering is L'ville, who will almost certainly be able to offer a more competitive NIL, if that's what this comes down to. So I'm not holding my breath for Bryant coming to AZ. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Lloyd saw both play this weekend. I don't know who he is prioritizing. Adding Thomas early would definitely help, assuming he can come in and contribute like Boz.
