Mark Tollefsen Summer Update Up Close

It’s nice to see a mature man with a lot of experience about to play Arizona basketball for the first time donning his Arizona wear.

Earlier this year, we introduced you to a seasoned NCAA veteran player and college graduate who transferred to the University of Arizona for his last year of eligibility, Mark Tollefsen.

Arizona Wildcats published a video on YouTube.com to give us more insight into what drives Tollefsen, we wanted to share.

Why did Mark choose Arizona to transfer to? “I think the thing that really stood out to me about Arizona it’s just the rich tradition and how successful they’ve been in winning championships consecutive years, and producing players to play professionally, for me that was a big step I want to take in my career and trying to be a professional I think coming to Arizona was the best decision.
