Hey guys, I just wanted to update you on Elijhah Badger and where he is along his process. Right now he is on the road at Florida taking his visit along with former Colorado cornerback Cormani McClain, who just committed to the Gators this morning.

I think Badger will come back home and evaluate the visits with his family and group. However, it seems to be (this could change given how transfers work) that Arizona and Florida are the favorites to land the former Sun Devil.

Here's my story on the commitment of Oregon redshirt freshman offensive lineman Michael Wooten to Arizona tonight. He's only played two snaps in his career but was a high three-star recruit out of high school. He's had to deal with some injuries through two seasons but will have a career reset in Tucson. He checks in officially at 6-foot-4 and 310 pounds. The sample size is of course very small, but he's played left tackle in his career up to this point.

He didn't see the field at all in 2023 and sat out the spring at Oregon while waiting for the portal window to open.

Seeing some Vids and pics of the spring game and attendance looks really good. Happy to see that as I was wondering how good it might be with them charging 5-10 bucks for entry and it being on a Sat night. Good indicator of people’s interest though. Hopefully it’ll translate to a full stadium in the fall.

Troy, (sorry to put this here; I just hit a wall trying to get thru to customer service & don’t have old -ancient- log- in info/old email to recover).. Sooo, we are moving. Hate to ask -here- but can you cancel my subscription for me? Idk how else to do this/ask. T/Y; I will return to the board after the 1st of the yr. T/Y!

Miami defensive back Demetrius Freeney Jr. has announced his transfer commitment to Arizona this evening. He played in three games, mostly on special teams, while with the Hurricanes in 2023. The Bay Area native was previously at College of San Mateo, which has been growing its connection with UA through the new coaching staff.

Arizona cornerback Tacario Davis has withdrawn his name from the transfer portal making him officially returning to the team for the 2024 season. This was a massive win for Brent Brennan and that coaching staff, which needed Davis' skillset in the worst way.

With Davis back, the Wildcats' secondary is pretty much set with the exception of the No. 2 cornerback slot. I think the staff will make a move and try to get someone from the portal to sure that side of the field up.

Hey guys, today on Twitter Caleb Love announced that he will go through the NBA Draft process, but he will not sign an agent and keep his NCAA eligibility open. This gives Love the ability to see where he stacks up against the rest of the class and then make the decision rather, or not to come back for another season under Tommy Lloyd.


Love's tweet:

Like we've said for a while now, Arizona is working on getting Love $1-1.3 million in NIL to come back for another season and help lead a group of young and talent players to a deep NCAA run.

KJ Lewis has announced his return to Arizona for his sophomore season. He'll be a key piece of the team moving into the 2024-25 season and helps Tommy Lloyd and the staff continue to figure out the roster situation moving into the fall. It's not a huge shock that Lewis is returning but it is a big one.

That’s how you do it! Walk off 2-run double to win the final P12 conference championship! Cam Walthy was money tonight, but it was an all-around good game - timely hitting, good coaching decisions, error-free baseball. Say what you will but Chip Hale has done one hell of a job managing this team. Bear Down!

T-Mac and many others:

Hey guys, I've been working on this breakdown of new Wildcat Anthony Dell'Orso's game and what it means for the lineup depending on who comes back for the 2024-25 season.


I hope you enjoy it and ask any questions you have as well.


Breakdown:

Well, after talking to Danny Gonzales during his press conference and him making clear that the team would more than likely be adding Alec Marenco without saying his name (So he wouldn't break rules), a surprising move has happened with Marenco announcing his commitment to Kansas State today on Twitter.


I'm really not sure what happened, but it might just be a cast where KSU came in at the last minute and won the battle late in the process.

The NBA has released its NBA draft combine invitation list and Keshad Johnson and Pelle Larsson are the two invited Arizona players. Caleb Love was not invited. Neither were underclassmen KJ Lewis or Jaden Bradley. Difficult to imagine guys not invited to the combine being in a good spot to earn a coveted first-round spot.

Arizona has locked up a commitment from Tennessee reserve big man Tobe Awaka this morning. The 6-foot-8, 250-pound forward from New York played in 35 games this season and averaged 5.1 points and 4.6 rebounds for the Vols.

He should add some toughness to the rotation up front and provide some depth in the front court.

Awaka has played in 69 games over two seasons and has two seasons of remaining eligibility with the Wildcats.

At the end of the day, Florida put together a good NIL deal to get the job done with WR Elijhah Badger.

Arizona was in it, but it simply came down to NIL and what the Gators offered.

Adding Badger would've been a great pickup, but receiver really isn't an area of need when you look at the Wildcats' roster.
