It wasn’t the best team in school history in terms of wins, but what Arizona did during the 2023 season was truly historic. And, it’s turned out, quite professional. Six members of that ’23 squad, which won 10 games including the Alamo Bowl less than two years removed from a 20-game losing streak, were selected […]
Freshman Rylie Holder doesn’t consider herself a strikeout pitcher at the college level. It’s all about the ground balls and double plays. Those were key in Arizona softball’s 8-0 victory over Houston on Saturday afternoon, but the five strikeouts against the Cougars didn’t hurt, either. The mark tied her career high. “That’s pretty good,” Holder […]
Arizona might as well be known as DBU after Saturday. The Seattle Seahawks selected Arizona cornerback Michael Dansby with the 255th overall pick of the NFL Draft, making him the fourth Wildcats defensive back taken. Dansby went in the late seventh round after not many analysts predicting the former San Jose State transfer would get […]
With six straight conference games at home against a pair of beatable opponents, the opportunity was there for Arizona to move up the Big 12 standings and at least assure itself a spot in next month’s conference tournament. But as has been the case much of this season, the Wildcats failed to take advantage. The […]
Dalton Johnson and Treydan Stukes have been college teammates for the past five years. Now the two former Arizona defensive backs will be teammates in the NFL.

Another member of the 2025 Arizona Wildcats secondary is heading to the AFC West. The Los Angeles Chargers selected Arizona safety Genesis Smith with the 131st overall pick in the fourth round of the NFL Draft on Saturday. Smith is the second Wildcats defensive back to go off the board, joining Treydan Stukes, who was […]
Practices have wrapped up for Arizona football and all that is left is the Spring Showcase on Saturday night inside Casino Del Sol Stadium. For the fans, it’s their first opportunity to see Team 123, as defensive coordinator Danny Gonzales has called the 2026 Wildcats on many occasions. The showcase is a culmination of all […]
The No. 19 Arizona Wildcats have had a tough few weeks. They spent the last three weeks on the road, playing three games at Iowa State, three at LSU, and three at Oklahoma State. They went 4-6 over that stretch. Getting back to the friendly confines of Rita Hillenbrand Memorial Stadium was a welcome respite. […]
After playing one of its best all-around games in the series opener, Arizona followed it up with a certified stinker. It’s a pattern that’s become all too familiar for the Wildcats. “The season in a nutshell, just inconsistent and sloppy,” UA coach Chip Hale said after Friday’s 5-1 home loss to BYU at Hi Corbett […]
Arizona women’s basketball added multiple quality prospects when the transfer portal first opened, but the Wildcats still had several needs. The biggest were experience and size. They got both with the commitment of former Boston University forward Anastasiia Semenova. The 6-foot-2 Semenova will be a redshirt senior next year after spending four years with the […]
Treydan Stukes won’t have to travel far to begin his NFL career. The Las Vegas Raiders drafted Stukes as the 38th overall pick in the second round of the NFL Draft on Friday evening. Stukes is the highest Arizona defensive back to be taken since Antoine Cason went 27th overall to the San Chargers in […]
The first handful of games were bumpy, but by the end of the 2025-26 season Brayden Burries had established himself as Arizona’s go-to scorer by showing off the skill set that made him a highly coveted pro prospect. Burries will now take those skills to the next level, officially declaring for the 2026 NBA Draft […]
It only took one game to see that Koa Peat was not going to be play at the college level for long. And despite some ups and downs after that, the Arizona freshman is ready to begin his pro career. Peat officially declared for the 2026 NBA Draft on Friday, the final day for players […]
The last days of spring are here for Arizona football which means it’s the last opportunity for some guys to earn a voice in the room before the long summer break. For defensive coordinator Danny Gonzales, it’s another chance to sell the program to the fans in Tucson. Last season, there were many moments where […]
Just a few weeks ago it looked like Arizona softball would be hosting games in Hillenbrand Memorial Stadium well into May. The Wildcats looked primed to host their second straight regionals as they hovered just outside the top 10 of the RPI, KPI, and DSR. As April comes to a close, it appears more likely […]
For two innings on Sunday, Luc Fladda looked great. He retired all six batters he faced, striking out three, and looked in line for a solid outing. Then came the top of the 3rd, when a loss in command combined with the hot, windy conditions at Hi Corbett Field led to him giving up four […]
Former Arizona associate head coach Taylor Spears left the Arizona GymCats just before the school year after being with head coach John Court since 2019. Court left the position open for the year, but now he has two more assistants to replace. Both associate head coach Kylie Kratchwell and assistant coach Shelby Martinez have announced […]
Arizona knew it was going to have a new pitching coach for 2026 last summer when Kevin Vance left to become head coach at San Diego State. But with an in-house replacement ready to take over, the transition was smooth. And it was. Until the replacement needed a replacement. John DeRouin’s surprise departure for a […]
The last week of spring football practice wraps up Saturday with the Spring Showcase inside Casino del Sol Stadium, and the Arizona offense is in one of the best standing points it has been in a long time. It all starts with the simple fact that the Wildcats have retained the offensive coordinator for a […]
As the calendar inches towards May, NCAA spring sports are gearing up for the postseason. Arizona will be represented in the NCAA golf, tennis and track and field championships over the next couple of months, making it a good time to spotlight some of the top Wildcats athletes competing this spring. This year is turning […]
The transfer portal closed for new entries on Monday, but most of those who already entered still need to find their new programs. Mireia ‘MJ’ Jurado is no longer among the free agents. Loyola Chicago announced the signing of the former Arizona guard on Tuesday. Jurado appeared in 30 games and made 18 starts in […]
Multiple Arizona Wildcats are expected to be selected in the NFL Draft, and this year they all happen to come from the UA secondary. Cornerback Treydan Stukes is likely to be the first Wildcat to hear his named called at this week’s NFL Draft, while safeties Genesis Smith and Dalton Johnson are also expected to […]
The first of two Arizona men’s basketball players in the NCAA transfer portal has reportedly found a new home. Former Arizona forward Sidi Gueye is transferring to Santa Clara, Jonathan Givony of Draft Express shared Monday night. Gueye entered the portal shortly after it opened. Gueye becomes the second Wildcats player to transfer to Santa […]
One of the best individual performances in school history didn’t result in a win, but Smith Bailey still got his flowers from the league. Bailey has been named Big 12 Pitcher of the Week after his 15-strikeout effort on Saturday night against Kansas State. It is the first weekly conference award for Bailey and the […]
Becky Burke’s radio can be a source of important tidbits of information about Arizona women’s basketball. In late February, the Arizona women’s basketball head coach mentioned that the team had an unannounced verbal commitment from an international player. Evidence pointed to Polish wing Karolina Ułan. That has proven to be correct after Ułan announced her […]
