James Akinjo to Arizona

Is there really a question of whether or not Sean Miller agreed to and help orchestrate payments to recruits? Short of him handing wads of 100's on film he's been exposed as paying for players.

We have reached the point where it's assumed and accepted that top 5 star recruits get paid to attend college. The word is out to the recruits / transfers Miller keeps getting that he's not going anywhere & the Arizona brass doesn't care what Miller does to win.

Not sure why AZ so in love with Miller, no coach has ever done less in CBB with the talent he gets.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

And LeBlanc to Will "Big add offer" Wade and L$U.

Two players with a lot of upside. Watched them a lot. Not sure Miller gets the most out of Akinjo, feel like he needs a tight leash and he could become one of the best guards in college.

Wish him the best. Expect him to be a beast come senior year

Is anything going to happen to these teams?

Is the NCAA moving on this at all?

Literally can’t make it up that they ended up at LSU and Zona.

Welcome to the NCAA. Home of the student athletes!

Does anyone blasting Hardaway for Wisemen want to rethink their positions? The NCAA is a complete and total joke.

Making the FF and winning a title is really really hard. Sure he has underperformed based on talent, but they've made the tournament 7/10 years, 3 elite eights, another 2 sweet sixteens, 5 regular season and 3 conference tournament titles, ~75% win percentage...Zona is easily a top 10 program so I totally understand why they love him.

Miller has never struck me as a good x + o guy. He has has some supremely talented teams with brutal offenses. But he is a helluva recruiter and has had killer defenses.

I don't know that he's anything special as a coach, maybe Zona is happy just being relevant but FF's and titles are how coaches are judged, especially with that talent, and Miller is a failure.
