What worries me about Adams leaving is our remaining seniors will be Chris Rodgers and Isiah Fox, two of the biggest headcases and morons ever to put on an Arizona uniform. My hope (a prayer is probably needed) is that Salim gets in both Fox and Rodgers' ears and tells them where he was as a player at this time last year and where he is now and who is responsible for that. Rodgers and Fox having a Salim-like renaissance would not be fruitful for the Wildcats but also for these two kids who like Salim in 2004 are playing themselves even out of the CBA.

Lute's late game coaching left a lot to be desired on Saturday, but he has proven this year he still has the gift to develop talent and as long as that's there Arizona will never be a bad program although the record could reflect that next year due to the brutality of our schedule.

Yep I recall when Salim was a senior in HS I was so happy that Lavin hadn't been aggressively recruiting him. For him to turn out like he ultimately has says a lot for HIM, and for Lute Olson's ability to deal with a problem child.

Rodgers would appear to be the heir apparent to a lot of Salim's minutes, along with McClellan, so leaving now would make no sense. Get your head on straight, come back and have a big year.

Who's going to replace Frye, Walters, Tangara, Fox, combo of all of them? Tangara is a great athlete but apparently really raw.
