We don't need Old transfers to come in and take all the minutes from Phllips, Sanon, Carter, and Stephen.

I think UConn/Hurley is playing this smart adding steady vets to try to help settle in Superstars.

These are two separate quotes from the same person within the same thread. Sounds like preferential treatment because one school can bring in transfers without repercussions but it's somehow detrimental when Tommy Lloyd adds depth with veterans.

Or you are one of those people who try to gaslight others when 1 comment is not equal to another. UConn is not Arizona. Tommy is not Hurley.

Name some comparisons between Arizona and Uconn Basketball. I will wait.

The comments for 1 team (Arizona) are not absolute for any other team.

Tommy is not an experienced now 2x Champion Head Coach and for very good reason. Hurley has earned the ability to bring in anyone he wants whenever he wants and deploy them however he wants. He has proven he knows how to coach In-Game and he isn't afraid to bench players.

Tommy is a proven scared in-game coach and doesn't know how to adjust nor bench anyone to send a message. Tommy doesn't need older players coming in and making these incoming Freshman angry and pushing them into transferring out and setting Arizona back further. That is not what Arizona Basketball needs right now.

UConn can do whatever the F*ck it wants and not be questioned at all, especially by the likes of someone who is trying to undermine lesser intelligent people with a comment like that. Anyone who doesn't understand what KC Cat just tried to do here should post a comment and ask why he tried to liken Arizona to UConn as if we have anything in common at all as programs, philosophies, and Coaching abilities.

What works for UConn will not work for us.

Your comment has been exposed and debunked.

Carry on.

[KansasCityCats]

I don't understand how I have been exposed.

Hurley is obviously praised when they bring in transfers for depth and Lloyd is ridiculed on your behalf.

I wish that transfers weren't a commonplace in college basketball but the game has shifted and our staff can't be blamed for filling gaps because players create their academic landscape like free agency. Perhaps I'm oldschool.

Liam McNeeley might have the best shot I have seen in a long time from a HS prospect. That kid is a catch and shoot machine with a quick release and form that is NBA level today. If you need a 3 or a bucket off the jump shot, this is Himothy.

I don't know if Tommy Lloyd even is going to put his name in the hat for this kid, but I would call up Mr. Humberto of Los Pollos Hermanos and pay that kid to be on Campus asap.

I can see Calipari putting together a true super team and making this purchase, but Tommy Lloyd missing out on this opportunity would be criminal.

BIG BUMP. I am Crestfallen watching McNeeley dominate. Especially from 3. Tunnel Vision Tommy has no clue.

"Tunnel Vision Tommy" - that's gonna stick !

McNeeley is off to a good start but his shooting percentage is only 42.9% from the field.  That's worse than Bradley, Townsend, Dell'Orso, Martinez and every big man on our roster.

If Hurley hadn't given the freshman 30 minutes, there's a good chance that his 0 for 9 shooting day would have given the Huskies an opportunity to not be swept in Maui.

Would I want the kid in Tucson?  Absolutely.  He'd be a nice building block over a guy like Love, whose inconsistent shooting is detrimental to this season.  On the other hand, McNeeley hasn't been good on defense throughout the UCONN games that I've seen this season.  Hopefully that changes (for his sake).

Without speaking to his elite scoring and great rebounding size for a SG (yes, 6'7" is SG overall in the new era)

He is averaging 2 assists, almost a steal and 1 turnover per game.

He has the length and size.

There's nothing he is doing that hurts the team overall any more so than anyone on a bad shooting night. McNeely is already essentially a Top 6 pick this year. The fact he is way ahead of Carter Bryant on anyone's big board is screaming that we have issues going on whereas Hurley seems to understand the concept of "use it or lose it".

I can only have dreamed about a team that featured Jaden Bradley hitting passes to Sanon, McNeeley, and Bryant at this point letting it rip since you mention our team 3pt shooting is awful a bunch of times.

Tommy is doing things his way. He earned that right. However the leash is tightening.

[KansasCityCats]

Lewis, Bradley AND Keshod all had approx 2 AST, 1 Stl and 1 TO last season.

Those stats aren't great. His shooting percentage is worse than everybody on our team except Bryant, Dell'Orso and Love.

He's a good freshman but he isn't a result of "Lloyd's tunnel vision", especially when the occasional 0 for 9 game occurs.

Another bad take where you want to use numbers to describe the On Court Floor Presence of players. There was a much different vibe with Showtime Johnson last season than we are witnessing with Awaka or Townsend in that role. MUCH different. So those numbers are lying to you somehow. Everyone in the Nation knows Liam McNeeley's name and skill by now. Not that many know Carter Bryant's yet.

[KansasCityCats]

Numbers don't lie.  McNeeley is good, especially for a freshman.  But his mediocre stats and the fact that we didn't land ONE recruit shouldn't define whether our head coach has "tunnel vision".  That's absurd.
