"I love redshirting."
Slow news day, what are the kardashians up to?
BearDown
He looks fat and out of shape. This girl looks like a typical from "The Seasons" or "Star Ranch" if anyone remembers those places. Not sure what they are called now.
Chris Rounds doesn't let Arizona players get fat. That's a huge jacket on a tall man.
I'm not sure if Thin Diesel has the genetics for it, but Dylan Anderson may be able to show up next season with a Tarczewski physique. That assumes he sticks around, but I get the feeling he may be a true program player that will be here start to finish. If he did leave, though, it would be awesome if he continued his career at GCU.

Why GCU?

It's easy to root for GCU.
And it would be a huge addition for them.

It's all in his face. He will be 300lbs one day unless he works really hard to stay in shape.
And as far as the other post - Dylan Anderson should demand a handsome payout to stay. He has been treated like absolute garbage by Tommy and I hope that Ballo is forced out if he chooses to exercise his option of eligibility. I like the energy he has, but he is not a Starter level player anymore. The rest of the season, Ballo should average about 10-12min per game unless Krivas is in foul trouble. This is Bowl Cut Skeeze Stache Krivas' team now and unfortunately I do not see any pathway to playing time for Dylan going forward. I have no idea what "Stephen" plans to do either. Tommy is starting to become Sean Millerian which is very ironic given all the hatred some people have for the Penguin on this forum and for all the disbelief I have in Tommy, that is one of the things I appreciate about him. I'd rather over-recruit then under-recruit 12 out of 10 times.

And GCU is actually Good. I see them winning a game in the Big Dance soon. I won't even be surprised if they make a 2nd Weekend before Tommy makes an Elite 8.
If Dylan were treated like garbage, he would have transferred mid season.
He may be frustrated about redshirting and could transfer after the season but he obviously has a reason or two to remain on the bench.
The kid is practicing against elite post players and will have an opportunity to get significant minutes as an upperclassman if he sticks around.
I hope he does because he has the athleticism to dominate D-1 ball.

That's rich coming from you who has been Dylan's #1 hater overall up until what, now? Now it's Team Dylan when before he couldn't do anything right LOL.
Maybe Humberto is paying Mr. Anderson to stay.
I've never been a hater. I definitely didn't think he was ready to contribute yet. Hopefully Dylan can make significant progress in the offseason.

Minutes are earned in practice, Dylan was CLEARLY not ready when he did play in games. Ballo is playing great basketball and Krivas is getting as many minutes as he can handle. For a guy who is 7'2" and can't even dunk he is lucky to be out there. Getting blocked from behind time after time is unacceptable in my opinion, that HAS to be something they work on in practice and the guy just gets embarrassed every game with that slo mo crouch down shot attempt. I agree with most people here about Boswell not playing well enough to start. But he is definitely capable of being the best player on our team in any game, so I think Lloyd giving him the opportunity to excel at the expense of Bradley starting is better in the long run if Boswell can find his groove that he had early in the year. Ten more games in conference, plenty of time to switch up the starting five. I have a feeling the Cats are going to get back in their fast paced run and gun offense here down the stretch and start whooping ass again. Bear Down baby!

This isn't the Sean Miller "Player's Program" anymore. Gold Jersey? Nope. Playing time is not earned in practice under Tommy Lloyd. Tommy plays favorites.
Oumar Ballo is Tommy's son. Dylan Anderson was recruited and effectively brought in by the old regime. Tommy will never treat Dylan with the dignity and respect he is worth from my vantage point.
The Boswell Real Talk thread was created before 99.9% of the forum and Cats Universe was ready to even begin to think about what was going on.
I now see that just about everyone agrees with it by large. I am a harsh critic, but also the one who writes up the Nicest threads when Credit is Due. It is no accident that we are hanging on by a thread. Just have to hope Tommy won't force the team to go down from his stubbornness.

Ballo playing 10-12 minutes is absolutely ridiculous, he's a very important piece and playing damn good as of late. We are still a top ten team in the entire country. Id hardly call that hanging by a thread.

Even I can admit Ballo has been hitting some FT's which "i'll take what I can get there". However, it seems like he is playing better at Home (the whole team is). I would reduce Ballo's minutes at the 5. I would play Ballo at the 4. I don't care what modern basketball says a "4" should be.
We don't have a Garnett or Tim Duncan on this roster. We have no "Stretch 4". Keshad is the closest we have and he is barely a SF.
Ballo is only around 6'9 at most himself, but has decent arm length for closeouts. No one would bully him at the 4 automatically and Ballo does have decent agility when playing within a certain range.
Maybe Run and Gun is off the table in this strategy, but the best teams are able to play multiple styles within the same game. Sometimes you need to perform a Rope-A-Dope and utilize change of pace.
I would like to see Tommy try a Love, Pelle, KJ, Ballo, Krivas lineup in stretches.
