Recruiting efforts for the Arizona Wildcats were slow going heading into July. Head coach Rich Rodriguez and staff only had six commitments secured halfway through the year, but have exceeded that amount in July by adding seven commitments, five coming this past weekend.
The biggest commitment of the weekend, size and otherwise, was arguably Long Beach (Calif.) City College defensive end Josh Allen. The 6-foot-4, 260-pound, tackling machine is widely considered a 4-star recruit, a rare ranking for a junior college player.
