The Wildcats return three starters and 10 letterwinners from last season’s squad that went 33-5, won the regular-season Pac-12 championship and advanced to the program’s second Elite Eight under head coach Sean Miller. In addition to a veteran core anchored by senior T.J. McConnell, juniors Brandon Ashley, Kaleb Tarczewski and Gabe York, and sophomore Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, UA also welcomes the nation’s seventh-ranked recruiting class to campus this fall.
