Recruit Alkins will find it's not easy to dominate in Pac-12

When super prospect Rawle Alkins made a pledge to play basketball for Arizona next year, making his announcement on ESPNU, he handled himself well in what could be a daunting situation. A day later he told USA Today, “I definitely feel like I’ll do well in the Pac-12 with my physical style. I think I’ll bring a toughness that they don’t see as much.” He also mentioned the word “dominate.” Forget that. If he can just be as productive as, say, Oregon freshman Tyler Dorsey, it’ll be enough. Nobody dominates any more. Look at Cal’s Jaylen Brown, who was last season’s Rawle Alkins. Brown struggled mightily in Cal’s last four games, shooting 9 for 42 afield, or just 21 percent.
