Sonoran Hot Reads: Kaleb Tarczewski one of the nation's best big men

How good will Zeus be?

One of the interesting storylines heading into the 2015-16 season for the Arizona Wildcats is Kaleb Tarczewski coming back to Tucson for his senior season. He's hoping that his Pan-Am Games experience will help him out, and the expectations around him have been elevated a bit, as SI has named him one of the nation's top-20 big men. It'll be interesting to see what kind of strides he's made as a player

- Highly-rated 2017 shooting guard Gary Trent Jr. has Arizona among five schools he's interested in

- Richard Jefferson is old, but not too old to dunk on someone and bring LeBron out of his seat

Football

- The professor who started the petition against the pregame haka spoke to the Daily Wildcat about why they started it, and the backlash they've received from Arizona fans

- Rich Rodriguez has been understandably miserable as Arizona continues to search for answers

- Oregon State's defense doesn't care who plays QB for the Wildcats on Saturday. Both sides of the ball have been trying to ramp up their team speed over the past two weeks

- What's it like to be Nick Wilson? Glad you asked

- Oregon State will be wearing their classic road look on Saturday

- Here's the highlights from OSU's first four games of the year

Baseball

Other sports

- Volleyball won the first set at No. 6 Washington, but then dropped the next three. Although, this did happen:

Tucson news

- Some lucky people got free flowers on University Blvd. from Inglis Florists
