I think we win the games we should early in the season, but every one is going to be a struggle. Teams like Northeastern, New Mexico and Milwaukee worry the sh!t out of me. Mid majors with some talent, but more importantly experience. I think the key to a late season surge is whether we do win the ones we should and whether we can possibly get to (gasp) 30% shooting from 3.
If Battey and Walker can't get their 12 and 5 every night, it's not going to matter what the youngins' do.
3 times. The Derrick White year, Kin's Freshman year (semi-comparable roster make up to this year), and 2014-15 the year after Spencer left.
Agreed,
Really?! I just assumed players were completely locked in to their schools for life. Where have I been the last 50 years.
Well, at least we don't have to play the 5 star center they just got committed like yesterday. He's #13 overall, meaning everybody. I know nothing about him, just know he's going there.
You know anything about him? I didn't know who the hell he was, just saw it on the ESPN ticker. Of course, I don't follow it like I once did. I'd pretty much ask you and a few others before anybody.

If he is as good as some expect we will only see him one year before he goes pro
The issue is UCLA will get 5 stars every year now. Peyton Watson this year. Amari Bailey, Aden Bona next year. They’ll have a guy like this every year.
<Shrug> Oregon and Arizona were doing this for years. Now it's UCLA and Oregon (maybe USC). CU can't quite compete on that level of recruiting, but we sure as hell can set our sites on finishing in the 3-5 range in conference every year and making the tourney. Do that for the next decade and I think we'll all manage to be okay.
Which is okay. We were able to occasionally handle Mobley and Aton to pull off some upsets which was great for our resume.
I'm kind of glad he didn't. I think letting this nucleus of young guys grow together is going to make a huge difference down the road. Hopefully we see it this year.
Keep Walker around and 2022 and 2023 gonna be FIRE.
I want to see a Pac-12 that's good enough that in a re-load year like this we could go in knowing that 17 or 18 wins will have us on the correct side of the bubble line.
That would be a good idea man. I don't know how old you are, oh 35 I guess.
Strengthen areas you need to.
I haven’t had hip issues, but with other things, it’s also about not doing things before you’re ready. It can be frustrating when you feel great but you’re still under restrictions that give it enough time to heal.
Never dealt with a hip issue either really, minor type bull****. A knee, I can relate to that. Also, the coming back too early part. Other things like getting shot up so you could play also applied.
