The Arizona Wildcats like to have their jersey numbers assigned in the early spring. It makes ordering uniforms and other gear a bit easier.
Adding four players and losing two more since April, however, made that impossible for Sean Miller’s team.
The UA’s late additions — Xavier transfer Mark Lyons, walk-on Jacob Hazzard and two players who will redshirt next year in Duquesne guard T.J. McConnell and Cochise College’s Matt Korcheck — have since picked their jersey numbers.
Hazzard, because of his walk-on status, will wear No. 50; Miller typically likes his players not on scholarship to pick from 50-55.
Some of the UA’s seven newcomers have a lot to live up to, numbers-wise.
Others, like No. 1 Gabe York, might already be the best UA players to wear his number.
