Arizona Desert Swarm, an Arizona Wildcats community

Nic Grigsby has been invited to play in the Eastham Energy College All-Star Game. Perhaps not the most presigious of all star games, but it will be his last chance to boost his draft stock. The game will air on Fox Sports on Sunday, January 23rd at 5:30 Arizona time, 7:30 Eastern time.

Yet another acknowledgement of Brooks Reed's great talent. Any NFL team would be lucky to have him.

With the coaching changes, some losses were expected. This is as close to a ‘good loss’ as possible. S Kerry Swarn reportedly de-committed because he ‘did not see where he would fit in among the depth that the Wildcats have.’ Yeah, that sounds suspiciously like he’s scared that he’s not good enough to start, so he won’t even try. When you hire a coach like Duane Akina, one of the best recruiters and DB coaches in the nation, and the depth you possess before he even sets foot on campus is scaring off some players, it’s a good thing. It would have been nice to have Swarn join the Wildcats, but if you’re too frightened to even try to earn a starting job, we’re better off without you.

Coach Stoops and his staff have signed a QB, a Punter, and a DL. Expect to see several stories today and tomorrow covering recruits, returning players, the outlook for next season, and the coaching staff.
