Arizona Basketball is in a rough time…
In the past two years we have lost Lute the Legend, Kevin O’Neill, Josh Pastner, Jim Rosborough, Miles Simon, Brandon Jennings, Jeff Withey, Emmanuel Negedu, Abdul Gaddy, Mike Moser, Jerry D, and the list goes on.  This graveyard seems neverending and one would have to be crazy to say [...]

My buddy Matt received a text from a non-UA affiliated friend earlier today. It just said, “sorry, dude. end of an era.” Matt immediately called me, asking what it meant. I hadn’t heard anything.
But we both knew.
That’s not how I wanted to learn that Lute Olson would never coach for the University of Arizona again. [...]

I don’t want to believe that people like this exist…

Bret Brielmaier will be coaching as a graduate assistant. Think we can transplant his brain into Fendi’s Abrams tank of a body?

We talkin’ ’bout practice

We’re only three days into camp, and true freshman cornerback Robert Golden has already done well to turn the heads of coaches and beat writers. John Moredich writes in today’s Tucson Citizen:
Golden was said to be ahead of Cason at comparable stages through their high school careers. That seems to remain the case.

ESPN.com used an unbiased system to count down the most prestigious NCAA basketball programs since the 1984-85 season, better known as the beginning of the 64 team NCAA Tournament. By using certain criteria, they were able to rank every college team from #300 to #1. Arizona State pulled in a solid T-181 place, and [...]

When Mustafa Shakur arrived to Tucson in 2004, there was so much talk about how the Messiah has arrived. After four sub par years, and a horrible meltdown against Illinois in 2005, Arizona has never been the same. And things are only getting worse. Brandon Jennings (The Real Messiah) is struggling with [...]

Kevin O’Neill… gone. Miles Simon… gone. Josh Pastner… gone. Last year’s staff is gone, hopefully some of the team stays. Lute has a lot of work to do next year with a whole new staff and who knows who will be on the team. Chase and Nic please come back [...]

So things have been pretty quiet around here to say the least. We want to apologize, and now it is time to get back to business. In basketball, Chase is testing the waters, and has until June 16 to return to McKale (PLEASE!). Lute is out recruiting at AAU Tournaments, getting people for [...]
