We can give Rich Rodriguez all the credit in the world for starting his Arizona Wildcats tenure with two eight-win seasons, but none of that is possible if he didn't inherit possibly the best running back in school history, Ka'Deem Carey.
Adding to Carey's legend at Arizona is the fact that he played high school ball in Tucson, at Canyon Del Oro. CDO won the 2009 State Championship, as the Dorados went undefeated that season. That team also had Jared Tevis and now-Stanford linebacker Blake Martinez was a freshman that season.
