Greg Schiano could prove to be Arizona's best quarterback recruiter -- again.

The man responsible for elevating Rutgers from college football quicksand to a perennial bowl qualifier accepted the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' head coaching vacancy on Thursday,less than a week before National Signing Day. That leaves RU with an air of uncertainty in a recruiting race against - you guessed it - Rich Rodriguez's Arizona Wildcats.

RU and UA are frontrunners for Rivals.com top 100-rated and third ranked dual threat quarterback Devin Fuller, who will announce his commitment on Sunday per The Star Ledger's Tim McClain. Fuller had a stellar senior campaign at Northern Valley (Old Tappan, N.J.) High School, throwing 20 touchdown passes to nine interceptions, completing 65 percent of his attempts, rushing for 17 scores and 1326 yards. All signs point to Fuller being the quintessential Rodriguez quarterback.

Josiah Turner controlled the game.

Here's how the play progressed in the second half of the Arizona Wildcats' 85-61 victory against the Washington State Cougars on Thursday in McKale Center:

With a 13-point lead, the freshman point guard went down the left baseline, spun off his defender and scored on a lefty And 1 for Arizona's first score. On the push, he finished a layup off a bounce pass from Nick Johnson. On the next play, he read a pass near halfcourt and turned it into a layup. Quickly back on the next play, he found Jesse Perry streaking down the middle of the lane for a dunk.

The Wildcats broke the game open.

But then, with 11:12 left in the game, Turner picked up a technical for jawing -- my lip-reading skills read "I beat your a**" -- at Cougar Brock Motum, and less than a minute later, he picked up another technical for shoving Motum under the hoop, after a play had ended. It being his second, Turner reluctantly retreated to the locker room.

Josiah Turner then put the game back within reach of the Cougars.

Tonight we get to see Arizona's new Nike Hyper Elite Platinum jerseys attempt at showing they're serious about making the NCAA tournament.

If there was ever a lack of a sense of urgency, now is the time for the Wildcats to put enough pressure on themselves to make a statement. Against a hot Washington State team, that won't be easy.

Faisal Aden and Brock Motum each pose their own complications against Arizona's defense, and the Wildcats would likely be suited to slow this one down, take care of the ball, and expect a grind-it-out win in the friendly confines of McKale. Vets like Solomon Hill and Kyle Fogg have to lead the Wildcats to getting off to a fast start and in doing so getting the crowd rockin'.

Looks like WSU is rocking some grey road jerseys with red and white trim. For those of you who don't like the new jerseys that Arizona will wear on Feb. 25 against UCLA, here's your practice run at getting used to them.

Time: 8:30 p.m.

TV: FSN

A great deal of firepower was lost when wing Klay Thompson decided to leave the Washington State Cougars for the NBA after a forceful junior season.

But if the last two games tell us anything, it's that the Cougars just might have found Thompson's replacement. Guard Faisal Aden came off the bench to score 33 points against the Stanford Cardinal and 24 against the California Golden Bears last weekend -- both were wins and both of Aden's explosive performances came off the bench.

The Spokesman-Review writes that WSU head coach Ken Bone doesn't know whether that's earned a starting spot against the Arizona Wildcats in their 8:30 p.m. bout this evening. But does it really matter, either way?

Sean Miller is probably jealous of Bone's options after scouting last weekend's Wazzou games.

The Arizona Wildcats released a revised Nike Hyper Elite Platinum uniforms on Wednesday.

The new jerseys are 5 percent lighter than the previous jerseys that were released just about a year ago, and instead of the partial aerographic panel on the back, they now have a full Block A.

The jerseys won't replace the older version just yet. The Wildcats will wear the jerseys once this season, on Feb. 25 against UCLA, a Nike press release said.

Check out more photos after the jump.

Update: Here's a second set of pictures from the NYC release event.
