You know whats really exciting? We have always been a top team for recruits the last ten years DESPITE all the negative recruiting that other coaches lobbed our way because of Lutes age and the uncertainty.

Whats going to be the negative recruiting now? Miller has a mean scowl?

Love it. Wildcat basketball is on its way back....if it ever left:)

Love the signing. Hill's the type of player you can build a program around.

Miller's not only helping the Arizona program but also hurting the competition which is nice to see.

Hill is going to be fantastic no matter where he goes to school. If you are a HS senior and stand 6'6, can handle the ball well enough to play some PG, can defend 4 different positions, and can pass the ball like a PG you have a huge head start on most of the other freshman in the country because you can impact the game in so many ways.

Excellent scoop. Miller is getting an "A" in my book thus far.

By the way, did anyone else get a recorded message from Sean Miller the other day?

Can we possibly get Hill's classmate Renardo Sidney away from USC as well?

Don't want him and he probably wouldn't get into the UofA. I hear he will be an academic casualty.

Jarrid Famous is visiting the UofA next weekend. If they can land him, it will be icing on the cake.

Great news! Sounds like that after Famous they'll hold on to their scholarships for 2010 unless a kid comes out of nowhere.

Hill is a HUGE get! I'm glad he waited and didn't sign his LOI at SC. I bet Moser wishes he had waited as well.

Certainly possible on Moser since it's not clear yet where he fits at UCLA.

When he signed they said he was likely to play SG, now they're saying he can play the 2,3 and 4. All you have to do is look at UCLA's roster and you can see the 4 is unlikely, 2 returning seniors(Drago and Keefe) and 2 incoming freshmen (Lane and Nelson) all bigger and stronger than Moser.

At the 3 his competition is senior Mike Roll, and freshman Tyler Honeycutt who right now is universally considered a better player and prospect than Moser.

SG if we assume Holiday leaves is the most obvious spot for PT, figure Anderson at the 1, Lee at the 2, and Roll or Moser as the backups.

Moser didn't play too much or too well in the recent game for the USA against the foreign team, 9 minutes 0 points 4 boards. It's weird the US coach said Moser was a step behind the other players in terms of athleticism, but is a very hard worker and will be a good college player. For 2 years now people have been calling Moser a great athlete, he can definitely jump and was supposed to have good lateral movement, scouts compared him to Mbah A Moute, now suddenly he's a below average athlete? If that's true he's likely to get buried at UCLA behind all the 4's, honeycutt, and eventually Tyler Lamb. If he's better than his team USA coach said, great. I know the BRO guys loved Moser long before he backed out of UA.

I am thrilled that UA got Hill, first I hate Tim Floyd and his renegade program so anybody that bolts them is fine with me, second it's in the Pac 10's best interests to have several good programs and with USC hopefully headed for probation I'd much rather see UA get better than USC get better.
