Alabama, according to Noah Fifita's Dad, Alabama DID try to get Noah and T-Mac... all of us Wildcat fans are so grateful they did not leave

[@davidstith2391]

Manu was also on the same high school team as Noah and T-Mac, and they are all polynesian. They are loyal to each other like few teammates are.

Arizona fan here - thank you so much for this report. I honestly want to thank Jedd Fisch for all the hard work he put in to get Arizona football on the map. He went beyond all expectations and worked his butt off to fill the stadium with happy fans again. And I also want to say that I do not think anyone faults him for taking a high paying job in the Big 10, it was just how he left after assuring everyone that he had no intention on moving his family once again and did not plan to leave. He only held a 3 minute meeting to inform his team that he was off to Washington and he left on a sour note instead of being thanked by a grateful community. His quick exit I think had a hand in most of the team not following him and for that, he deserves a second thank you from me.

The 10-3 Alamo Bowl Champion Arizona Wildcats are coming back pretty much intact with a really excellent new coach, Brent Brennan. Go 'Cats!

[@donovanwhite9025]

They’ve got a ton of potential!

[@gilbertorona9142]

Alabama tried to lure both TMac and Noah to their school. Also, Ohio State offered TMac a million dollars to transfer there. They both stayed. Says a lot about the kids and their character. Most kids wouldn’t do that but most sports outlets also aren’t going to talk about how these two devoted themselves to the Arizona program. It’s a story Arizona fans won’t forget and something you won’t see often.

[@72thcking]

How do they get away offering such things when they are never in the portal? Ncaa has tampering rules that include direct and indirect contact

[@davidstith2391]

And to top it off I heard they spread some of the NIL money around to their teammates. Extraordinary young men!

[@thej6835]

@@72thckingthere aren’t any rules about going through friends or family and making offers. All the best players are getting offers portal or not.

[@72thcking]

@thej6835 is that true? Why even have tampering rules. Just let the coach talk directly to the players. I hate rules that have loopholes the size of the grand canyon

[@gilbertorona9142]

The NCAA is far behind in this new era for college football in managing how NIL and transfer portal is ran. Much needs to change but unfortunately that's were schools, coaches, players and fans are at. But I also think the NCAA won't hand down penalties to their bigger named brands schools. It's a business at the end of the day.@@72thcking

Zo Carter is a Cali legend in high school as a player and as a running back coach Arizona is still loaded at every position from qb to k Arizona was not a basketball power until they hired Lute Now Jedd the fraud had one good season Brent is ten times a better head coach then Jedd and Brent wants to be in Tucson Jedd didn't want to name Noah as the actual starter over JDL and Jedd lied on Speedy Luke claiming that he fumbles in practice that was to shut down the local reporters asking him why Rashon Speedy Luke was not getting in the game . Arizona will become a powerhouse in college football .They have the right head coach that will stay there and they can and will lock down the State of California in recruiting ask Beast Mode aka Marshawn Lynch about Zo Carter's resume And a lot of Texas high school players will come to Tucson And the boosters will back this coach more than they ever supported any current football coach in Tucson

[@Whatsthe_dill]

Lol you lost possibly your most important piece in jonah carter and just lost two dl to transfer portal and this brent guy isnt going to be what you think az wins 4 games maybe 5

[@Whatsthe_dill]

Lol you are delusional! Jedd left cause your school is crooked owing 240mil btw brent brenna is jo were near better than jedd especially at recruiting btw jedd has steve ballmer and bill gates in the NIL game possibly. Arizona cant compete thats why jedd left and because your A.D was crooked so quit cry.

[@susanbrynt]

Arizona had 2 elite CB last season, who will be in the NFL. It looks like we are going to lose Prysock to Washington. Davis is the better corner, but he is in the portal. Still, there is a good chance he is going to return. They are big pieces.

[@mruofacat]

Note, that in Spring Ball and Fall Camp last year, Noah was the back-up QB. He did not get the snaps with the 1st team line . 2024 will be a whole different story. We are just hoping that Brennan does not pull a Kevin Sumlin and come in and try to change the offense with personnel that don't fit.

[@c2thewick]

the XII might be my favorite conference in the 12team playoff era of cfb

[@allthefoolssailedaway]

I wonder what the AP will have Arizona ranked in the preseason?

[@donovanwhite2013]

Probably not high enough. I’d guess around 20?

[@azcanuck3131]

ESPN just ranked them #11 in their early preseason rankings

[@BearDownCats96]

Ohana way BTFD and back the A

[@buckyzona]

What stands out to me is no OSU or Iowa st. Also Kansas st is non con, don’t believe it counts towards conference. And 7 home games. Favorable schedule, especially compared to last year

[@tombambauer5220]

Beardown! Who would have thought a coach leaving AL would do so much.

[@davidtemple2831]

Who is Jonah Carter? Lol Jonah Colman is a beast! Arizona will be fine.

[@LawJolla]

Remember that K. State game is non-conference.

[@christophersims3319]

If the cbs come back from the portal we might be in business but we are going to take a step back. Noah and t mac means we’re not going 1-11 and buys the staff time. 8-4 would be a tremendous job in one. Don’t be unrealistic, we narrowly avoided being worse than ASu next year

[@aztucsonman77]

Wanna know who the offensive coordinator is going to be.

[@Seanph25]

Dino Babers

[@aaronroberson5950]

Lost their RB to UW others.

[@aaronroberson5950]

Avery beat out Will Howard. Howard was not going to be the 2024 starter so he transfered. DJ Giddens back many ded parts in place...KSU looking more like favorite

[@Whatsthe_dill]

Lol they are not especially with who is the head coach and being 250mill in debt. Utah and colorado will be the favorites and losing jonah carter good luck.

[@eliseor1352]

It seems like you might not be well-versed in college football. Brent Brennan successfully coached at San Jose State despite limited facilities. Now, at Arizona, where he has better resources, the team's potential is limitless. The financial debt of 250 million shouldn't affect the team's performance. Also, it's worth noting that the correct player's name is Jonah Coleman, not Carter. Perhaps you're an ASU fan?
