Ivan Kharchenkov 6'7 2025 SF Has Committed To ARIZONA!

The last Ivan to play @ Arizona.

Last season, you mentioned that if Bryant doesn't get more minutes, Lloyd would never get another 5* prospect. You also mentioned that Lloyd would never play 8+ guys (and we had 9 that averaged approx 20 minutes).

Deja vu.

Carter didn't get minutes. It is only because your basketball hero SloMo went down that Carter had to play. Henri and Carter were basically the best tandem in the Nation and Tommy had no idea. Indictment on Tommy.

Carter would have tried to measure for the combine regardless of minutes, but he wouldn't have left school had Krivas not went down since he wouldn't have shown any tape vs anyone.

Tommy doesn't play 9 guys in any sort of effective way. Empty minutes, empty statistics. Not going to buy the scooterbop approach. Anyone can get minutes up on a per average basis for any reason. Continuity and Success were neither last year.

Exactly. And Lloyd just landed the best incoming class in the country (on paper), regardless of whether Bryant earned minutes. That'll continue, even if Peat doesn't get 35 MPG.

If Tommy doesn't play Peat, Burries, and James heavily... don't expect Anything.

Again, we heard the same sentiments last year when Lloyd wouldn't play Bryant.

James committed, knowing that Delly was returning and Aristode was already coming to Tucson. He's a ridiculous talent but won't immediately compete with Nelson, Burries, Delly, Ivan and Aristode for minutes. He's clearly the #6 wing.

[WerderBremen]

He is not going to play James heavily. Silly thought.

[WILD]

He'll play Peat and Burries heavily. I think Aristode will get more minutes than James.

[Jdmarti]

James seems very much like a player  that will not play much an will need time to get better.

Too many James haters on this board. Bryce should be playing without a doubt. I don't care what anyone says about this. Everyone is thinking Aristode is going to automatically come in and dominate? Let's wait and see. Bryce is the most polished prospect coming in after Koa and Burries. He can do everything well on the court. If Tommy wants to waste him then that's another reason for Tommy to continue to be on the ever rising temperature hot seat of underperforming with the most talent to work with.

Being a factory for mass exodus of players to transfer out of as always as opposed to maybe 1 guy every other year or 2 in the past. And don't give me the lame excuse of NIL greed. Tommy could keep players if he cared to play them.

Which aspect of his 6PPG and 3 RPG in high school are more polished than Aristide (who would have been an all American, if it weren't for his injury)?

James will be a stud because he's extremely athletic, plays hard, has a chip on his shoulder and has a legend training him in the driveway. Realistically, he needs some time, before he's ready to steal minutes from our deep corps of wings.
