Portal needsFisch said he expects a “pretty substantial” roster turnover for the second straight offseason, although it probably will fall a bit short this past year, when Arizona added 51 players. He added that none of those six players had informed the staff of their plans as of Monday afternoon. Coaches will meet with players this week.
“We're gonna look at all of it, though, and see where we can improve. We're gonna look everywhere to improve everywhere.” “I think that our family atmosphere, our program, is built in a way that people want to be a part of Arizona football. We have a good collective. We have good sponsors in Tucson. We have people that want to help our players the right way.
