Hey guys, I'll be working on an article from today's press conference with Jedd Fisch here shortly. However, I wanted to post five quick takeaways from the presser and get this on the boards now.

Quick takeaways:

1. Duane Akina will be joining Arizona as a senior defensive analyst, but can develop into on field coaching pending an NCAA rule change.

2. Gunner Cruz is no longer on the roster
- Cruz is now a GA with the team and this opens up another roster spot.

3. Spring football will start with players "arriving" on March 13 with the first practice on the 14. The Spring Game will be on April 15, with the time still to be determined.

4. Jedd Fisch talked about how happy he was with the class and how it gives the team more depth on the defensive side of the football.

5. Fisch noted that it was work to keep key players on the roster like Jacob Cowing, who had agents talking to him about the NFL. But, stated that Cowing came to the decision to come back and help better the team and his draft stock.
-However, Fisch feels like the team was able to get five players back that are NFL talents.

Again, I'll have more later but wanted to get this up here now.
