In the heart of Tucson, AZ there was much reason for celebration this year. The Wildcats had a good season, ending 8-5 (7-5 regular season and 5-4 group discussion play), beginning with a lop-sided 70-0 beating of Idaho and a 41-16 win versus Toledo. This was likewise the primary season in closely a decade that the University of Arizona even went to a bowl game. They discomfited Brigham Young University 31-21 in the Las Vegas Bowl. The Wildcats went on to finish the season fifth in the Pac 10 conference. Over the last couple of years University of Arizona Head Coach Mike Stoops has been fired up for the duration of the recruiting season. Two years ago Stoops accused Oregon of stealing his recruits at the last minute, and last year he was reported as saying state rival Arizona State was a “Junior College” amid other things after losing three recruits to the Sun Devils. Despite having a recruiting class that rated seventh in the Pac-10 and around 50th nationally, the Arizona Coach was not taking any shots at anyone. Stoops joking said, “I have not attacked any individual and I’m not getting attacked. I am not as defensive as I have been in the past. I guess winning cures all ills, even with me.” The basi winning season in ten years and the fact that Stoops was likewise given a three year contract extension in all likelihood helped to calm him for the duration of the arduous recruiting process. The newly level headed Stoops admits he didn’t get every one he wanted, but with the season opener versus Central Michigan coming up in six months, he has a great deal of time to mold his new talent. The spotlight of the recruiting season for the University of Arizona was Parade All-American Safety Adam Hall. They likewise got two disseminate option tailback specialists in Daniel Jenkins and Kylan Butler. With Arizona school-record quarterback Willie Tuitama graduating, the Wildcats have a four man battle to fill his shoes. Pac-10 receiving record holder Mike Thomas’ absence has likewise been filled with the signing of Junior College transfer Travis Cobb from Blinn College and DeWayne Peace of South Grand Prairie, Texas.
The top recruits for the Wildcats show promise that Arizona will carry on to grow. Adam Hall will play safety, but in high school Hall was very versatile and played receiver, running back, safety and returned kicks in his senior year on his way to scoring 38 touchdowns. Tailback Daniel Jenkins of Moreno Valley, Ca is a 5-foot-9, 187-pound running back who has shown he may rush for 1,000 yards in a season, but more necessary for the Wildcat offense, he has shown that he may catch out of the backfield, with 212 yards and three touchdowns versus St. John Bosco this season. However, Arizona is still young at Tailback and he may have to be red shirted this year. Trevor Erno from Lakewood, Ca is a bruising linebacker that had 128 tackles and 5.5 sacks this season. Erno had devoted last year but that didn’t stop UCLA and California coaches from going to his school to try to recruit him. The Wildcats ought to be competent to make another bowl game this season. |
