I like this kid, however don't  think we need him unless  krivas is going to have a huge year an leave to the league, we have 3 centers on the team

Now with krivas, awaka,Steven an Steven seems alot like Staton, a rim protector, guess we will see.

Bring him in and let these prospects battle it out for depth chart position.
I am beginning to become annoyed with this narrative of not recruiting a prospect because we have enough of a position.
If you (Arizona) want him, and you have a chance to land him, go do it and figure it out later.
Veesaar had his minutes taken from him by Krivas last season.
I am not sure how the rotation is going to be after Krivas/Awaka snatch as many minutes as they can next season.

I think his interest is based on the assumption that Krivas is going pro after this season.

Krivas and Stephen are the competition so Staton has a legit shot at earning immediate minutes.

Awaka will likely play PF, unless somebody is injured.

We are not really in Basketball Season mode, but I will reiterate that I am not a fan of what Tommy did this offseason.

He has hitched his wagon to basically 3 players and left no opportunity for the rest that committed. We have no Guard Depth in a much rougher Conference. Maybe we only need 1 Guard in theory, but the truth is Tommy doesn't seem to understand how to develop a true PG.

Catching my breath. I am out of shape when it comes to truthing on Tommy! I will be in Mid-Season Form in time for Tip off though, that I promise.

The league is going through Kansas this season because they brought in more transfers, to overshadow their lack of existing talent.

The only opportunity to take them down is with size.  Hopefully, we try to lure Self into starting a different lineup, to match up with our frontcourt depth. 

Bradley, Love, Lewis and Dell'Orzo is a pretty nice rotation for Guards, especially if Conrad is ready to contribute at PG and allow Bradley/Love to occasionally play off the ball.

He has recently cut his list down to four schools.
Arizona and USC has been cut from his list.
BYU has been rumored to be the leader from the article(s) I have read, Michigan is in there and UNLV is continuing to push for him also.

That makes sense.  Krivas is obviously pushing to make the league after this season but we still have nice depth in the frontcourt.
