Hey guys, we have Matt Moreno in Las Vegas getting all things Arizona from Big 12 Media Day. The Wildcats just had their segment on ESPNU and I'll post some quotes from Brent Brennan and Noah Fifita.

But, we will have more as the day continues with video from Vegas, five takeaways from Brennan's podium interview and more.

When asked about Noah Fifita and Tetairoa McMillan staying in Tucson, Brennan said that they along with guys like Jacob Manu and Gunner Maldonado are the ones that kept everything together. That those type of players wanted to keep everything moving forward.

Brennan was ask what he wanted to do when he first got to Arizona. His response as that he understood what the team was going through (Fisch leaving) given that he was doing the same to San Jose State. So, he said he wanted to make sure that the players understood that he got what they were going through. Plus, he wanted them to see who he was and what he is all about as a head coach.

Brennan talked about how his staff has kept a lot of the same terminology and wanted to put the "onus" on the coaches to learn it because at the end of the day "conceptually" everyone across college football is doing the same stuff, but its just a matter of what you call it.

While collaborating on the new offense with the players and the new staff, Brennan said that Fifita made it seamless with how cerebral of a QB he is and his knowledge of the game.


Again, we will have more in this thread and on the site. Feel free to comment with questions, or any takeaways.

Troy mentioned this the other day, and now it is public. Arizona has added an early commitment from 2026 offensive line recruit Michael “Bobo” Langi from San Francisco-Archbishop Riordan tonight.

He’s the brother of 2025 target Peter Langi who took an official visit over the weekend. Michael is going to see his recruitment continue to expand but it is a nice early pickup for UA and one that should stick if his brother follows suit here in the current cycle.

Penn State, Colorado and ASU are some of his early offers.

Arizona has added its third offensive lineman of the 2025 cycle as Kapolei, Hawaii prospect Javian Goo has announced his pledge to the Wildcats after a recent official visit. The 6-foot-4, 285-pound recruit picked UA over offers from Hawaii, Oregon State, San Diego State and the service academies plus others. All three of Arizona's offensive line commits in the class are Polynesian as the staff continues to look to build that pipeline with prospects from around the country.

Hey guys, I wanted to jump in a share some interesting news I received when talking to three-star lineman Peter Langi, who took a visit to Tucson this past weekend.

While talking to Langi, he told me that his brother Michael Langi was on the visit to Tucson as well. Michael is a three-star guard for the 2026 class.

During the visit Michael has chosen to commit to Arizona giving the Wildcats their first 2026 commit. The announcement will be made soon.

Arizona has landed a commitment from 2025 in-state athlete Dajon Hinton today following an official visit with the Wildcats. Hinton, who has his roots back in Tucson, had been committed to Arizona State since April.

Arizona has hauled in a commitment from 2025 Hughson, California standout quarterback Robert McDaniel today. The Wildcats had him in for a visit and he backed off his pledge just a couple days ago before announcing the flip on Sunday. McDaniel committed to the Golden Bears in March, but he has seen his stock rise over the last couple months.

He's got a big arm and doesn't turn the ball over very much at all. In his career he has passed for 4,971 yards and 62 touchdowns including a career-best 2,839 yards and 33 touchdowns in his junior season last year. He threw just four interceptions on on 304 pass attempts in 2023.

Arizona is back to hosting visitors this weekend, and there is a solid group headed to Tucson. Still trying to fully confirm everyone on the list (there's already been one who canceled his trip) but most of the recruits headed to UA this weekend I've been able to confirm.

Big 6-foot-4 Texas wide receiver Terry Shelton is headed to Arizona after becoming the fourth commitment of the week for the Wildcats just moments ago. The three-star prospect from Irving-Ranchview ultimately came down to UA, Illinois, Kansas and Boston College. He is the first non-athlete receiver recruit to join the class and the seventh commitment overall for the Wildcats' 2025 class.

Sean Robinson talked with me last night and said he planned to announce his commitment today but was holding off until Arizona gave him the video to post. His mom has already posted a couple times about it, so I went ahead and just wrote the story even though he has yet to put it out there himself.

Arizona being willing to let him play multiple positions is what sold him as well as the Wildcats making him feel completely welcome on the visit. He is originally from Oakland and his mom has Bay Area connections as well, so his whole family hit it off with Brent Brennan making for a perfect fit.

You can read the full update above.

"A lot of the schools that I have, it's either me playing straight linebacker or them wanting me to play tight end. I talked to coach (Duane) Akina, coach (Joe) Seumalo, coach Brennan, coach (Bobby) Wade, coach (Alonzo) Carter, everybody. They just want me to be on the team, and they will allow me to start at any position and I like that. They have so much experience coaching, if they really want you that bad why would you really go somewhere else?"
