Save for a few select contributors, the team the Arizona Wildcats fielded in 2018 under first-year coach Kevin Sumlin was brought to Tucson by former coach Rich Rodriguez and his assistants.
You should expect to see more of Sumlin’s players in action this season, thanks to an influx of junior-college recruits and ready-to-play freshmen. And those guys will tend to stand out because of how much bigger they are, on average, compared to RichRod’s Wildcats.
The 19 signees in Arizona’s 2019 recruiting class averaged 74.8 inches and 230.9 pounds, according to 247Sports.
