Mention Grant Jerrett’s name in Tucson, and chances are you’re going to get a negative reaction.
“He should’ve stayed in school,” an Arizona fan will likely say.
If you don’t know the story behind Jerrett, it’s fairly simple.
The big man was a highly-touted recruit coming out of high school in 2012 and signed with the Arizona Wildcats.
And as a freshman in Tucson, Jerrett played 17.8 minutes per game, averaging 5.2 points and 3.6 rebounds. The near-7-footer was unique in that he could protect the paint, averaging 1.0 blocks per game, and hit jumpers, knocking down 40.
