I live in Tucson and watch him play in person a few times a year. He's just not that great, feels kinda slow to me when watching him. I get the Champaign connection, but if I was opening the pocket book to poach an AZ player it would be Jaden Bradley. Just love that kids game, tough as nails.

You just have to wonder where the kid’s head is at. There has been smoke around him for months, despite his being a major contributor on a very good team. Obviously, he is not bought into something in that program, and one foot out the door is not a great mindset for success on the court.
Might as well get Domask that waiver if we're in touch with the divine

He looked really bad against Clemson last night. As did most of the guys on Arizona.
