    Dbacks to sign Mike Leake - per ESPN

    so? Have 4 really good starting pitchers, that's a way to win the World Series.

    Recruiting

    He has said all along he'll likely announce at one of those All American games in early January. I forget which one and the date at the moment.

    ESPN reporting Greinke is a Diamondback

    Who knows how it'll turn out, but a LOT of those same things were said when the signed Randy Johnson too. Unquestionably. Remember Schilling was a trade. They made a big deal about Richie Sexson when he signed, but that whole thing was a bust.

    ESPN reporting Greinke is a Diamondback

    me too. This team had lulled me and the entire state to sleep with mediocrity over the last 5+ years. I can't believe I get to look forward to baseball again.

    SI's Thamel picks Mike Bercovici to win the Heisman

    If ASU is in the playoffs I suppose he'll be in the conversation. But the last 5 Heismans have gone to running QBs. It seems hard to imagine a pocket guy like Berco would win, even if he put up big numbers, when another QB put up equally big numbers and ran for a few hundred yards too...

    PAC 12 Predictions

    UofA plays an easy non conference schedule, returns very good players at RB,QB, WR and LB, they play Oregon St and Washington St from the north and get UCLA and Utah at home, and get one of their road games at Colorado. There's really no reason they should win less than 8 games at worst.

    PAC 12 Predictions

    Mine: P-12 South: ASU USC UofA UCLA Utah Colorado Explanation: its possible every team in the division goes to a bowl game. ASU gets USC and Oregon at home, I'm not totally sold on Sarkision yet though so thats why I don't pick them to win. UCLA has talent all over except at QB...

    Gambo: Kieff wants out, won't talk to players or coaches

    I'd do it in a second. Ilyasova isn't great, but Markieff needs to go. However, the Pistons likely know the Suns are desperate so we'd be lucky to get something of that much value in return. Ilyasova can space the floor w/ a decent 3 point shot and is on a reasonable contract.

    NBA All Time Starting 5 Suns

    Drop Marion, put in Connie Hawkins, then the list is closer. I love KJ, but I'm not sure why you'd have him and Nash unless you're Jeff Hornacek and love a 2 PG lineup. I'd go: C Amare (Suns have never really had a great Center, Alvan Adams was built like a modern SF) PF Barkley SF...

    New Adidas Uni's?

    and we're 0-2 in them, so I agree, lets retire them to the dust bins of history.

    New Adidas Uni's?

    we still have the gold helmets, they'll be the same as the last few seasons. They just weren't shown in some of those initial images. In some of the other releases from ASU equipment, they are shown. Oddly, apparently ASU has full control over the helmets, Addidas just does the rest. Which...

    New Adidas Uni's?

    They kept them fairly similar. Which is good news if you recall the Andrew Walter era ASU jerseys. Many ASU fans were worried we'd end up with something similar. Notable differences: * "Arizona State" on the breast plate is MUCH larger than it was with Nike. On the Nike uni's it was barely...

    Gentry: "Tell Mike D'Antoni he's vindicated!'

    so you don't really follow basketball outside of the Suns, and even that is a 50-50 proposition, yet you're supremely confident that plodding, traditional, big centers are the only way to win in the NBA - despite all evidence? Reading the conversation between you and Cheesebeef is like...

    OT: NBA Finals: Cavs v. Warriors

    Up tempo jump shooting teams with small lineups and no traditional center will never win in the NBA finals! :rolleyes:

    Could the Phoenix Suns, city build a new arena at Phoenix Convention Center site?

    Sarver is a sleezeball and a moron. He cares little about what's best for the community, he only seems to want to line his own pockets. Unfortunately, it seems almost inevitable the Suns will eventually be playing on the Salt River Pima land. Voters aren't going to go for a stadium tax after...

    Trevor Bauer 6 IP - No hits..

    Yup. It was so frustrating that a guy who could be an ace, and was quirky, which would have drawn even more fan support, was shipped out because he was quirky. They knew about his weird habits when they drafted him. Sadly, the D'backs front office is pretty dim. They think Bauer and whatever...

    NHL Draft Lotto

    well hopefully the Yotes stink again and can get the kid from Scottsdale next year.

    WR Tim White

    Hope he works out, should be good for some depth at least. Has anyone heard any updates WR Lucien from UCLA? ASU sure could use him.

    Bobby Hurley is the new ASU Basketball Coach

    Seems like a sensible hire for Hurley. Obviously gives you someone with West coast connections, and hopefully it's an in for landing the 3 Corona kids that seem to be bound to go D-1.

    Bobby Hurley is the new ASU Basketball Coach

    That's more true in football than basketball. The key in hoops is just recruiting, it matters less where they come from. In football you have so many roster slots to fill, you almost have to stay local/regional with recruiting, that's somewhat less true in hoops. In fact, I'd say if anything...

    Bobby Hurley is the new ASU Basketball Coach

    I think it's as close to a home run hire as we can expect on ASU. I'm MUCH more excited about Hurley than I would have been about Capel. If he can win at Buffalo, that's promising. Sure he doesn't have West Coast recruiting ties, but that's what Assistant coaches are for. He's young-ish...

    Phoenix Suns players Marcus and Markieff Morris charged with counts of felony assault

    Probably not the majority, no. But enough that it taints the entire team and makes them unfun to watch or cheer for. Is there anyone on this team you'd be just super bummed to see the Suns get rid of? Len maybe...besides him....? Maybe Bledsoe? That's not a good place for a franchise to be...

    Phoenix Suns players Marcus and Markieff Morris charged with counts of felony assault

    These guys aren't unlikeable because they don't win, or don't have a high ceiling (though those things don't help). They're unlikable as people. They bash the fans, moan on the court, don't hustle all the time, get DUI's and now get assaults. Bleck.

    Who will ASU's next Basketball Coach be?

    I'd be very excited by Hurley. Though I do wonder if he wants to come out West, he's been an East Coast guy his whole life. I'd be much less excited about Lavin. He seems like the ultimate backup/settling sort of option. I guess it wouldn't be awful, but he'd be far from a home run hire either.

    Phoenix Suns players Marcus and Markieff Morris charged with counts of felony assault

    Agreed. This is probably the most unlikeable Suns team since the drug scandal. There have been other teams that were worse, other teams that were more 'blah', but I don't even know if I can really call myself a fan of this team. Just because they wear the purple and orange doesn't mean they...
