Holmes highlights
Looks like he needs to add some weight but could be a baller and it'd be nice to land another in state kid.
Added to the 2021 Prospects List.
Thank you
NICE!
Miller was in to watch Deron Holmes tonight who will be attending the Red and Blue game next week. This will be his 2nd red blue game in a row.

Zn says holmes is coming here we needed atleast one big IRA is graduating an I bet tubelis or I. Brown leave or both. I really like holmes game.
J. Brown.
Regardless of whether anybody leaves early, Ira Lee is leaving a slot for somebody to pickup big minutes. Holmes would be an ideal replacement at PF.
True ira is gone no matter what so that opens up a spot for a big.
If one of the bigs leave I would like Arizona to land jamarian sharp he reminds of koloko alot
One thing that surprised me with holmes list is his top 4 are not teams you would expect he had teams like usc Oregon kansas.
I guess it does not matter as long as he comes to Arizona.
Holmes chooses Dayton. Not a surprise he didn't come to Arizona, but surprising he didn't choose Marquette.

They have been making noise lately.
I know a few Flyer alumni. They have a great following and there's a growing college basketball fan base as the first four attracts new crowds.
Nice to see the mid majors pulling in high end talent.

I agree - more parity is better for the game. Also.... "Mid Majors" - like the one Miller has created at AZ.....
Mid Major is defined my the conference. Larry Scott and the PAC-12 teams that failed to gain momentum on the court caused the lack of National love...not Arizona.

There is always a part of me that wonders how programs would have managed if one of the better coaches would have chose the Few/Gonzaga route:
Miller/Dayton was on a hot streak, but we knew that Archie was waiting for a bigger job.
Stevens/Butler was a nice little program as well before he cashed his ticket to the NBA.
Miller/Xavier was definitely on the rise as he was starting to land ESPNU100 type talent as well.
My memory is fading right now, but there have been some more good ones in the country that been successful only to have their coaches bolt for a bigger job in a Power 5 conference.
Edit: Holmes commitment has now been updated in the 2021 Prospects Listing
Perhaps it's better that most coaches jump to the high major programs...or else Lute Olson at LBSU could have made the list :)

Mid-Major-Miller .... PGUers and PPUers have been saying it for years... lol
Mid major coaches get promoted to big-time jobs when they win all 3 of their conference championships, as Miller did at Xavier.
Since then, he won 5 Pac-12 titles, 3 Pac-12 tournaments, 3 Pac-12 coach of the year awards, 3 USA (amateur) gold medals, 5 sweet 16's, 3 elite 8's and didn't finish worse than 4th in the conference until the awful 2018-19 season.
ALL of those numbers are best in the conference (during Miller's tenure), although Dana Altman TIED Sean's COY awards and Oregon TIED Arizona's Pac-12 tournament titles.
The only thing that is "mid major" about those accomplishments is the fairweather-fan attitude that coincides with a program that hasn't been established for 50+ years.

Lol people be taking this shit to literal. We play mid-major style basketball for a program full of 4 and 5 star talent. No one can deny the accomplishments but it has nothing to do with our style of play which is mid major basketball hence MMM haha.
I really do wonder if holmes did not come to Arizona because the noa.
Before it seemed like Arizona was leading its disappointing Arizona will have to find another big now.
