I was in the drive through late night at Los Betos off Grant I believe and two guys started shooting at each other about 40 feet away from my car...true story
Well that location on the NW corner of ft Lowell send Campbell is. Was torn down probably 8 years ago now.Newportcat wrote:Nico's is gone????

I have been doing this also, now my wife wants me to see the doctor because I take too long on the throne. I tell her it runs in the family.

He’s taking advantage. The selfishness and self aggrandizing doesn’t speak well to hopes that he’s a day one leader of men.
A commitment and good play cures all, of course.
The type of selfishness where you aren't ready to work is what bothers me.
I show my commitment to work by only posting from the toilet. I like to think I simultaneously drop pearls of wisdom and fudge dragons.
What?! That’s crazy. Literally used to live right there. Apartment complex was called Scotia Club. Think they converted to condos a while back.84Cat wrote:Blacklidge and Campbell
So did I. When there was still a Taco Bell there...there was Nico's and a Taco Bell within the same parking lot.

Not to derail the thread even more but I had to comment on the damn construction. Traveling from NW to Eastside to work, I've changed my route 3 times in the past 3 months because of construction. The last change I just made a few weeks ago now has construction too that started today. So damn frustrating.CatFanOneMil wrote:This is my "Go To" quick meal when I don't want to cook, #10 Chicken enchiladas, no lettuce and add a shredded beef taco...$13.00 and more than I can eat...Beachcat97 wrote:What?!

Driving in Tucson is driving me crazy, I only live 5 minutes from there but hate the drive down Glenn...I swear the city of Tucson is determined to make it impossible to drive any fucking place in this town, road construction every damn corner.

Luther has one year of eligibility left and can play immediately (assuming he gets a hardship waiver).Beachcat97 wrote:Sweet! How many years of eligibility does Luther have?
well he can shoot and rebound, those things generally translate even to the highest level (NBA).Newportcat wrote:Any know how good Luther is?
I went back and watched Pitt play vs. West Virginia this past season in order to get a feel for what Luther can bring to the table and how he plays. This is a bit of a limited scouting report, but I thought this provided the best insight into what he might look like against good athletes, a quality defense, and multiple schemes.Newportcat wrote:Any know how good Luther is?

Good breakdown. The first thing I like is double figure rebounds. I don't care how bad Pitt sucked, you have to work to put up double figure rebounds unless you're a freak like Ayton.TucsonClip wrote:I went back and watched Pitt play vs. West Virginia this past season in order to get a feel for what Luther can bring to the table and how he plays.

WVU used Luther to help combat WVU's full-court pressure. He was a big part of the press break, even bringing the ball up the floor multiple times.
Looks decent with the ball in his hands. Comfortable initiating, albeit not creating off the bounce. Has good vision and looks to be a willing passer, keeps continuity.
Doesn’t have a strong base, not quick laterally, but will stay engaged and play with effort. Not physical or strong. Plays with a bit of finesse and fundamentals.
Solid looking jumper, decent release, ok footwork.
Hands don’t look great. Not going to be a threat as a dive man.
Active defensively on the help side, in the correct position, rotating early to get there. However, dont see him playing C unless by necessity. Hes not stopping anyone at the rim, hes going to have to 3/4 against big guys in the post, and doubt he can hold his ground. Looks a bit more fluid on the perimeter, but think hes going to have ups and downs defensively. Again, good news is he will defend with effort and can diagnose where to be/what to do help side.
Pitt ran a form of drop coverage against high ball screens. Meaning, he would drop under his man setting the screen until the guard was able to get over the screen and cut off penetration. He can hedge, but doesn’t have great lateral quickness or athleticism to stick with guards. Our guards will need to get around the screens immediately so he can slide him back to his man before he loses position. However, did a good job talking, and calling out the ball screen coverages for his guards.
Doesn’t sit down in a stance defensively, plays upright and a bit rigid. However, he looks for his man when the shot goes up and puts a body on them.
Adds an element we don’t have from our bigs, as he can play on the perimeter, hit some outside shots, understands his role, plays to his strengths, stays engaged, knows where to be and what to do. Looks like he has a good basketball IQ, as he knows when the fill and replace on the perimeter, how to keep spacing. His passing and cross court skips will be well received. He will fill that role of the high post passer against zones.
Overall, I think he is a solid fit. Again, he provides the shooting and passing we dont have from a true big. He will have issues defensively, but not as bad as some of the defense we have seen the past few years. Although that isnt saying much. Hes a good pick up, someone I bet Miller will trust, will know his role, will be a good teammate, has a good bball IQ, and will be a solid player at a position of need.
I hope he can replicate that, but I have some concerns. Dont know what his positional split break down looks like, but he only played the 5 against WVU. To me, I dont think hes a guy who rebounds outside of his position. He isnt long, athletic, or strong. Looks more like a opportunistic rebounder who will try to win by putting his body on someone to shield them from attacking the glass.Spaceman Spiff wrote: Good breakdown.

Yeah, but even 8 rpg in starter minutes is acceptable for the 4. With Akot and Randolpb, I hope we can gang rebound a bit because they're both longer and more athletic than Zo and Rawle.TucsonClip wrote:I hope he can replicate that, but I have some concerns.

At least he's a legit 5'10 unlike Parker who was a legit 5'8, but listed 3 inches taller. Look, beggars can't be choosers. Arizona has to have a PG and Coleman probably isn't going to lead us to a title, but he's effective and certainly more capable than Parker was at least offensively. He'd be a good piece to the puzzle all things considered.Beachcat97 wrote:Ya know, for being a couple miles off campus, that place sorta raged. I’ve got more than a few “Scoash” stories.

In other news, now let’s get a PG. Is anyone else concerned that the Samford guy is only 5’10? That’s Parkeresque.
