Exclusive Q&A with Arizona Wildcats basketball coach Tommy Lloyd, who assesses the state of the roster, the current world of program-building in college basketball and more.
Bruce Pascoe MESA — In the same 9:30 a.m. tipoff window Saturday, Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd could watch his two 2024 commits on one court or a number of even younger targets on some of the other eight Nike EYBL courts.

I love the pieces we've got. Maybe I have some insight to some other pieces coming that others don't. So I'm sleeping good.”
A:"People will be really happy. I mean, it’s just that there’s a code of conduct that, when you sit in my seat, you have to respect, and I do. I don't do recruiting speculation in the public sphere. That literally has zero impact on me. A:"I just want to get the right one. I don't have a set agenda on how many guys we need to offer. Listen, if anybody has a recruiting algorithm that works in modern-day college basketball, share it. Because there isn't one.
"It’s worked. I'm banking that it's gonna continue to work, and if I don't think it's working, I'll make an adjustment.”A:"Which is fine. Zu has a right to approach this any way he wants to. He's been an awesome dude that's served our program incredibly well. We're lucky to have had him, and if we get him back another year, we'll be lucky to do that. But we're gonna let him go through his process and make the decision he feels best for him.
