Hearing Creighton's Arthur Kaluma wants to follow Ryan Nembhard & transfer to Arizona. He wanted to test the NBA waters, but is being told he's will likely go in the 2nd round. Ultimately, Kaluma wants to play with Nembhard.

UPDATE, it's now being reported the Arizona is preparing and NIL deal close to 1 million for Kaluma https://twitter.com/TheJPScott/status/1647277318988087296
Remember you heard the rumor on Kaluma to Zona here first! BEARDOWN!
I'm just here for the inevitable Bennedunk shit post and subsequent ban lmao
Wow, I didn't realize that Jason Scheer knew every rumor in college basketball. LMAO
We'll revisit his tweet when Kaluma announces he's leaving Creighton.

Haha.
If Kaluma's transfer also comes to fruition, Arizona will be in a great place...especially if Tubelis and Ballo both stay in the frontcourt.
I wouldn't mind getting kaluma he is athletic 4 that can space the court a bit, he must get more consistent, but a solid player.
Well there at it I would take trey alexander also.
I don't see why he wouldn't, he's a Arizona Kid, had to have grown up watching the Cats!!
Added to the list.

In that conversation between those 2 guys it sounds like they are not only interested nembhard but also kaluma.
Not much of a surprise since Lloyd tried to bring kaluma in before he ended up at creighton.
I am hearing that this is not true and Kaluma will not end up at Arizona

What have you been hearing about the situation?
Remember when people Jason Sheer called me out was saying I made this rumor up. You heard it here first and the rumor keeps evolving. I can see Jason aka Bm Sheer screaming at the sky telling "NOOOOO!" 😹

Wow. That's quite an NIL.
Hopefully it is t a "rumor" and Wild's prediction becomes a reality!

Art Kaluma is one of the best players in College Basketball and no one looking at his stats would know it. I have no idea why he hasn't developed yet, but he has lottery pick written all over him.
$1 Million is way too much to not get a breakdown of where that money is coming from.
NIL should be fully transparent. If that's not real, ok (whatever). But if it is real then I think there needs to be proof. Creating an illusion of that type of money is as dangerous as pumping and dumping in stocks/crypto on Twitter.
Hell $1 million is more than many Professional Basketball Players earn. If this is true then I would expect Kaluma would have to play all eligible years for that money or repay or forego whatever remaining portion if he bolts to the draft.
0% chance Kaluma is getting $1mm but tubelis is leaving to get a non guaranteed contract
Wild is definitely putting it out there he is hearing rumors, about kaluma we will see I would gladly take him if he hits the portal.
An athletic 4 would be great.
It all starts with nembhard though we really need him he would be a difference maker for arizona.
I still wonder who the secret recruit is that
Is visiting.
I think it could probably be 4 or 5 different people in my head.

I have had Kaluma on the Free Agent list since he was first mentioned with Nembhard.

If Kaluma and Johnson both commit, our team will have significant depth. I'd love to see Kaluma run the show until Bryant/Phillips arrive in 2024.
I am pretty sure it would be either or. No way we want / get both.
I hope kaluma withdrawals from the draft.
I see some are saying keshad is Kentucky bound.
We really need kaluma.
He probably will want a nice nil I hope arizona can get a good one for him.
To land him.

Art Kaluma would be what I consider a crown jewel pick up. He is 1 year away from being a de facto lottery talent. Creighton was never the correct place for him and his game. Don't quote me, but I believe Sean Miller was in on recruiting Kaluma for UofA before the Ghouls got to him / FBI nonsense. I think it's time for Art to come home where he can thrive in a system that is geared more toward athleticism, shot creating, shot taking, and hopefully this year shot making. Let's get it wrapped up Tommy.
It makes all the sense in the world for him to choice Arizona, but now NIL is a factor. We need to seal the deal in that department too.
