I am in Hawaii for the week and was able to catch up with Arizona signees Mays Pese and Sione Tohi to discuss their decision to sign with Arizona, the outlook for their freshmen seasons and more.

Arizona recently dismissed tight ends coach Matt Adkins after one season. Adkins had a 2-year contract meaning the team will pay him $375,000.

So, with the tight ends coaching job open, new OC Seth Doege had the chance to hire his own tight ends coach.

Thursday afternoon, Doege did just that with Arizona announcing the hiring of tight ends coach Josh Miller, who is already on the recruiting trail for UA.

Miller comes from Marshall where he served as TE coach under Doege.

Before coming to the Wildcats, Miller was hired at Southern Miss but has decided to join the Wildcats' staff.

The transfer portal in 2025 is a crazy thing and sometimes you see familiar faces comeback to a program after testing the waters somewhere less for a season. That's exactly what has happened for Arizona as late Tuesday night during the basketball game, former Longhorn and once a Wildcats Tiaoalii Save'a has announced that he is transferring to Arizona (again).

Remember, Arizona got him from UCLA when Johnny Nansen came over to become the team's defensive coordinator under Jedd Fisch. When Nansen left for Texas, Save'a followed and no one was shocked. Now after the team announced Joe Salave'a as the new defensive line coach.

So, the wildness of the portal has worked in the Wildcats' favor as they have landed Save'a to add depth to the defensive front.

I do expect him to be one of the starting defensive lineman for the Wildcats for the 2025 season.

According to 247Sports, this is what the current state of the transfer portal looks like with respect to Arizona. If I am missing something, please let me know.

I just thought I would put it all in one place. If I missed anyone, sorry. I will try and update this post as I see things change in 247Sports. I know that is not the be all end all official site, but it has been pretty accurate over the past few years.

​

Tonight Arizona will be looking to win its sixth game in a row with UCF coming to Tucson for the first ever meeting between these two programs. During this streak for the Wildcats, KJ Lewis has been an energy bunny off the bench averaging 11.5 points while shooting over 60% from the field. Plus, the play of Henri Veesaar has been impressive with him being more aggressive and finishing strong at the hoop.


GAME INFO

Who: Arizona (9-5, 3-0) vs. UCF (11-3, 2-1) (last game won 75-74 vs. Colorado)

When: 8 p.m. (MST)

Where: McKale Center | Tucson, Ariz.

TV: ESPN

Odds: Arizona (-16.5) | O/U: 156

All-time series: First meeting


We will update you throughout tonight's game with postgame recap to follow. Come join the conversation and share your thoughts on the game.

It has been reported by ESPN's Pete Thamel that Arizona tight end coach/passing game coordinator Matt Adkins has been dismissed and will not be returning for the 2025 season. Adkins came with coach Brent Brennan from San Jose State and signed a two-year deal with the program meaning he will be owed $375,000 for the upcoming season.

During the underwhelming 2024 season, Adkins took over play calling duties after a slow start from the offense under former offensive coordinator Dino Babers. The offense didn't really improve and seemed to get worse as the year went along.

With the hiring of new OC Seth Doege, it isn't surprising that there would be offensive staff changes and this is the first change with Doege at the helm of the offense. I would expect a coach to come in with a strong Texas influence with connections to the Mike Leach coaching tree.

Was announced today as associate HC and DL coach. Danny Gonzales will be the DC

Arizona has dipped into the junior college ranks once again for its latest commitment. Thursday night, following the announcement earlier in the day of Joe Salave'a as the next defensive line coach in Tucson, Cerritos College defensive tackle Leroy Palu announced his pledge to the Wildcats. Palu recently visited UA and picked the program over offers from New Mexico, Hawaii, Nevada, Colorado State and Utah State.

Palu is a big body at 6-foot-3 and 300 pounds who can play a couple different roles up front for the Wildcats. He figures to be an interior guy for Salave'a and Danny Gonzales following a standout season at Cerritos, where former UA assistant Davy Gnodle is the defensive line coach. Palu was fifth on the team in tackles with 39 to go along with 13 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks, both team highs. He'll have two seasons of remaining eligibility at UA.

"We are excited to have Danny Gonzalesmove into the defensive coordinator spot on our staff and it's an honor to welcome an Arizona great, Joe Salave'a, back to his alma mater," Brennan said. "Coach Gonzales has years of experience as a proven defensive play-caller with the ability to lead and develop defenses that rank among the best in the nation. And Coach Salave'a is a Wildcat at heart who has a winning pedigree and who has demonstrated the ability to identify and develop elite players along the defensive line. The experience that both bring to the table will be an asset for our student-athletes and our program."

Salave’a replaces Joe Seumalo in Tucson.

"We are incredibly grateful to have known Coach Seumalo, his wife, Karen, and their family for more than 25 years and to work alongside him for many of those," said Brennan. "His friendship, leadership and talent for developing players at every level has left a lasting impact on all of us. We wish him all the best in the next steps of his career."

Arizona has locked up a key transfer commitment today as Chattanooga receiver Javin Whatley announced his pledge to the Wildcats over a final group that included North Carolina and Memphis. The UA staff has had some added emphasis on recruiting receivers in the transfer cycle, and Whatley is another one with some experience and production at his last stop. The 5-foot-10 Rockmart, Georgia native, who goes by Nunu, caught 55 passes for 677 yards and 6 touchdowns this season to go along with a kick return touchdown and 396 return yards as well. His 99-yard kickoff return touchdown against Samford in November was one of many big returns he had this season. Whatley has played in 27 games in his career and has totaled 108 catches for 1,810 yards and 12 receiving touchdowns.

He'll have one season of remaining eligibility with the Wildcats.

Hey guys, Arizona has started off hot with a 27-17 lead over West Virginia. The Wildcats have done a great job of attacking the basket and forcing a high number of 3-point attempts by WVU.

Arizona has secured the 23rd member of its 2025 recruiting class today with Torrance (Calif.) El Camino College cornerback Elijah Brown giving the Wildcats his pledge. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound prospect from Los Angeles put together a strong season in his freshman year at El Camino with 38 tackles, 5 interceptions and a fumble recovery. He has some great length and has a knack for making a play on the ball when watching his film and could be an underrated pickup for UA and Chip Viney.

Brown played at Narbonne HS in the Los Angeles area and ultimately committed to UC Davis last year as a member of the 2024 class before opting to back away from that pledge to join the team at El Camino. NAU, Colorado State and UNLV all offered him out of high school, but now he'll join the Wildcats as a member of the 2025 class with three seasons of remaining eligibility.

Arizona moved in first to offer 2025 DE Adam Tomczyk today. The 6-foot-4, 245-pound California native is a Utah State bounceback who was with the Aggies for two seasons before heading to Cerritos College for 2024. He racked up 43 tackles, 4 sacks and 2 forced fumbles this season. He'll have two years of eligibility since he redshirted as a freshman before playing in 2023 and 2024. West Virginia offered him following the Wildcats today marking his first two offers of the process. Prospects in the 2025 class will get the chance to sign again in the first week of February.
