So did the PI staff take vacation? Are they too shocked at Miranda leaving to even comment? It has been over a week since any news was posted.
Jaden Bradley to Arizona.
“Had a good conversation” is an odd phrase. Normally you hear ‘after visiting‘.
You’d love to have an even taller ‘unstoppable force’ but it’s a long road from ‘being offered’ to actually putting on the jersey. Not going to get excited about this guy for another year, if he even does sign with us.
Don’t worry, he will not be coming to State. I am surprised that Burns came back.
I’m not worried about his weight. He will get in shape under KK. Has anyone noticed the pics of Burns from the beginning of last year to now.?
Another Beeja. Needs to loose 50 lbs. and develop an outside shot.
I think Dave Doeren might also be interested.
Wow! That is a big man!
big but svelt for 300 lbs!
