I have no insider knowledge, but it's really clear Aiken is gone. Don't even want him back since it seems he is not happy due to playing time.

Read between the lines on the stuff Choo has posted. It has nothing to do with playing time.

Bottom line we still don't know if his scholarship will be open or not.

If it is an Elliot Pitts type situation he could be eventually cleared by the UA.........in which case he could return to a potential top 5 team next year (why would he transfer?)

Damn will once again not admit he was wrong. Aiken is gone man. Let it go. People with more knowledge than you have said as much. Stop trying to “what if” about every little thing these guys say. The schtick is old.

What exactly am I wrong about???

There is ZERO public information on Aiken. He may or may not be back.

Chill out before you blow a gasket. :lol:

If you Google "Kim Aiken Arizona" his Arizona profile shows up but it takes you to a now 404 page.

Guess that it. Good thing Ballo has emerged and can play with Koloko on the court together

my post was confusing for sure im sorry

if everyone returns besides Mathurin (means Koloko stays) i think AZ is pre-season #1 in the nation prior to adding another body or two - just so much size and experience returning with a sprinkle of talent and more experience to shade in the corners.

its almost not fair to look twelve months ahead to next Feb 24th 2023 especially when the right now is so terrific.

The bold, most definitely. I am trying to really savor everything going for us right now. I loved Miller and was crushed with how the administration dealt with him. I also love what Tommy Tucson is bringing to the table. And if these last few years of Wildcats hoops have showed me anything, it is how hard and rare it is to have a team that can deliver as often as this team has thus far.

If Boswell reclassifies to '22, any sense where he'd be ranked with the '22 class? Top 20? Top 50?

I don't think any of us here make the rankings lol, but Jaden Bradley is ranked 17th in the composite for '22 and Boswell is already better than him IMO. Who knows though.

Pretty confident Boswell picks Arizona, even two Illinois guys from rivals and 247 both picked Arizona.

The only interesting thing will be if he reclassifies

However, I don't understand how Boswell's composite ranking is #11. Rivals has him as #25, 247 has him as #13, ESPN has him as #20, on3 has him as #16

What's wild about Boswell and a lot of dudes from this class is that there is comparatively so little game footage out there of these guys due to COVID. Basically have played their entire high school careers under COVID restrictions.
