Kerr Kriisa has eligibility for this season and next.

Ok, but this is still his 4th season, so I think that makes him a senior.
My point was that he is a bit more experienced and should have better stats than a sophomore.

His year at UVA was pretty negligible and didn’t improve his pro prospects. At this point, he’s fishing for NIL money and a high profile program.

There’s no way he’ll start for UK, right?

He didn't play at UVA so it was very negligible.

Kerr is a guy that came to Arizona when do one else would in the middle of the SM deal. He certainly has some significant deficiencies especially on the defensive end. Not sure why people need to run down former players and criticize a Kentucky coach that had his whole team transfer and is simply in the "get a decent player" mode.

I didn’t provide enough information for the point to be clear.

For Kriisa and Lloyd the mistake was allowing the name “Kerr” on the back of his jersey to go with the number 25. Kriisa needed a heavy dose of coaching the me-first out of him and Lloyd either decided to abdicate that responsibility or couldn’t accomplish it.

In that sense allowing the wearing of 77 is the same thing. Pope seems inclined to allow Kriisa to continue to act and play like a clown. Given what he did with Barcello, in comparison to Miller, I guess maybe I should give him the benefit of the doubt.

But if Pope wins a bunch of games with Kriisa at PG, outside of a sea change in his attitude, I will be shocked.

Feel free to bump in 10 months if I end up being wrong.

To be fair he was a Sean Miller recruit and it was Sean that allowed him to wear his first name on his jersey since he was named after an Arizona Legend. I guess you see that as a sign of weakness? A more practical take would be that Tommy just doesn't care but that is far less sinister than your "abdicate that responsibility or couldn’t accomplish it". Interesting. You have an usual take on both players and staff.

Kerr Kriisa didn't even know Steve Kerr went to Arizona.

Once you start making exceptions, when do they stop?

Reminds of when Ricky Anderson (not then a starter) showed up to get on the plane for an away game with bleached blonde hair. Lute would not let him go.

Even though he let Jason Gardner dye his hair red.
