Thanks B.
Izzo will do Payne well, I just wish the kid had a little more adventure in him and realize that he could be part of something new and exciting here in Tucson.
Good luck.

If Payne commits, we will be witnessing another “Miller Miracle.”

>>>My opinion is this: It says something about UA coach Sean Miller’s recruiting ability to have Payne remotely interested in the UA in the first place.

And I’m fine with this. What the UA has to offer is a chance to build a “new dynasty” out on the West Coast. All the pieces are here. Great coach, great recruiting class(es), great fan environment, great returning class…

I think Izzo is a good choice, Kentucky is a drama toss-up, and Morgantown is okay, but just that…it’s okay (I’ve been there twice, and it’s better than okay, just stranger than the local scene in Tucson. Nice people though).

Still, why not take a look at building a dynasty out on the West Coast under Miller?
