Change of plans.
Arizona's starting quarterback was supposed to be announced publicly Monday afternoon at Jedd Fisch's weekly press conference, but instead will be shifted to Tuesday at noon, the UA announced Sunday evening.
A source told the Star team meetings and other obligations conflicted with Fisch's press conference.
Nothing nefarious behind the change, I'm told. Just scheduling conflicts and such. https://t.co/DgFB9MinZ8

The virtually favored candidate to win the starting quarterback role is Washington State transfer Gunner Cruz, a 6-foot-5 Gilbert native, who joined the Wildcats in spring and has battled Will Plummer, a fellow Phoenix-area product, for starting reps.
