UCI did better than Arizona the last couple of years.

The decision came quickly after Hazzard visited the Wildcats over the weekend. He did not schedule another visit, though Hazzard had considered Gonzaga, Cal, Minnesota, Pitt and TCU, along with returning to Irvine for his final season of college basketball.

What's Tuscon like?

Dumpsterville or decent college town?

Do grad transfers get automatic admission to their grad program of choice given they meet basic minimum requirements like BGA and GRE/GMAT etc?

I like Tucson. Good weather except in the summer, lots of good Mexican food, great places for cycling and hiking.

As for the university -- I didn't see anything in that article that would indicate Hazzard cares much about which graduate program UA admits him into...

Arizona "is a high-major program, a high-major basketball team and a high-major coach," Hazzard told the Star's Bruce Pascoe last week. "That's always been something I've wanted."

What's Tuson like.?They have a winning basketball tradition. He was never going to come to Cal.

Agreed.

Anyone know the process of how athletes in the transfer portal are contacted? Through the athletic office at the school?

Are recruiting schools allowed to offer a certain amount of campus visits to transfer candidates?

And if coach is unfamiliar with a player's performance, how does he go about getting tape film on him?

It seems like an interesting process, especially if you're a coach who needs players, or a player who just wants to feel like he's needed?.

Wonder if Max was part of the group that confronted the coach when the rumor was flying that the coach was headed to Cal?
