I am going to say there is a change that is occurring in real time.
NIL is changing the landscape, and schools need to win or pay to play.
Arizona is not in a position to land as many as they would, but I do believe that Lloyd should have landed more than he has at this point at least.
I am still going to wait a year or so before I really start to voice my opinion on the matter.
A good 2024 recruiting class would eliminate any thoughts I have at the moment.

I agree with this notion. 1 thing I am going to continue to say is that a lot of the NIL problems have a lot to do with Tommy being the hire over Damon Stoudamire. It rubbed a lot of boosters and basketball related alumni the wrong way. This is sort of the push back that happens. With the talent left behind from the last regime basically gone, Tommy has to figure out how to remedy this and work out these deals. If a Casino in the PNW can land Timme and Nembhard to deals, there is no reason Tommy can't leverage Desert Diamond or Casino Del Sol (if that's what they are still called these days). There has to be some concerted effort put forth. Canyon Ranch is a major player in Tucson and not to mention Raytheon and other contractors. There are options. A very good way to get the University involved would be to leverage Eller into some projects that help assist in these matters.

Tommy better find a way. The clock is ticking.

The team deserves credit for helping Lloyd win over the past two seasons but you clearly didn't give him any credit for the accomplishments.

Arizona's administration is responsible for finding NIL deals....not our head coach. Despite having a major basketball program, it will be tough for a small city like Tucson to compete because we don't have the same donors/resources as bigger markets.
