Back to the Frankie highlight videos and Lucas Johnson...

I miss the days when we had a number in front of us on the tv graphics...

Frank was the best to watch when he wanted to play and take over a game.

And I loved watching Lucas get into the heads of all the Arizona players. And Coach Lute. And Bill Walton. And the Zona fans... LOL

Now I'm going to have to hit F5, until I get an answer! I haven't had a chance to see the cat in person yet, and the mix tapes are always just the highlights.

He also got in the head of the referees, most notably after a very hard foul late in a Sweet 16 game vs Kansas.
All of the crying and complaining that Roy Williams did after that game and Lute Olson did prior to the Regional Final caused those refs to call ticky tack fouls from the get go. They called a foul on Johnson when he was three feet from the play. Arizona shot a whole lot of free throws that game and it ultimately was the difference.

We definitely seemed to play much better when that number was there!! Someone should let Whitman or Underwood know and see what they can do about it! :)

Isthis suggesting that we dont take okoro unless golden denies us?

Nope. It just means Golden's has his visit first. If he signs with Illinois right away he gets the last scholarship that is currently available.

If Golden signs or doesn't sign, you still go after Okoro, and the scholarship situation will work itself out.

Lucas Johnson reminds me of a younger, more tenacious, Brian Johnson.

"scholarship situation will work itself out" = someone's desk gets moved to the basement?

I think Ayo is a shorter version of Magic Johnson

How about Andre Miller? Same size, seldom if ever dunked, good vision/passing, crafty handles, weaves his way through traffic, killer hesitation and fakes, great finisher, never known for his outside shooting but he hit big shots, quiet guy but competitive...

Ayo is like Babe Ruth, except slightly taller, from Chicago, and plays basketball. He’s also very similar to Elon Musk
