Was at the Arizona game. While they are not going to be making a big bang (almost all the team is returners), the look is so different from last year. For several years the team always had stretches where it looked like they forgot how to play basketball. Not this year. Just lack the "horses" but have a 5 player recruiting class committed that all are in the top 100 at their position, I believe.
