Title: Arizona Fun Facts
Post by: 420seriouscat69 on November 24, 2014, 05:55:53 PM
I've been doing some research you guys and this is what i've found.

Here are their numbers through Rivals rankings from their classes 2013-2015:

5 :star::6
4 :star::5
3 :star::1

2 of those highly touted players came from Kansas. One from Hutch (Kadeem Allen) and the other from Sunrise Academy (Dusan Ristic).

Also, that tall son of a bitch you see who looks like a goon/terminator, his name is Kaleb Tarczewski. He's also a 5 :star: player from the 2012 class that chose the Arizona Wildcats over the Bill Self KU Jayhawks.

In the 1994 movie- Speed (Top 10 movie ever? TOP TEN MOVIE, EVER!!!) Sandra Bullock referenced the Arizona Wildcats when she was on the bus with Keanu. I thought she was talking about our cats, but she was talking about these cats.

Fun Fact: It was way cheaper to fly into Tuscon than Phoenix for the Fiesta Bowl vs. Oregon. So Mrs. CF3 and I flew into Tuscon and spent the night there and rang in 2013 in downtown Tuscon. Fun town. Very pretty.

The name Arizona is the Spanish interpretation of "arizuma," an Aztec Indian word that means "silver-bearing." It's also based on the Pima Indian word arizonac, meaning "little spring place."

the U of A is located in Tucson, AZ., which is located in Pima County, AZ., which once had a distant relative of the Jones family as standing deputy sheriff, going by the name of Wyatt Earp.

You made me curious...  So, I looked.

In that thread, there was one out of the 56 replies.  Thus, just under 2% for the thread although site-wide it could be closer to 3-4% although I didn't check every user.

Former Arizona great Gilbert Arenas was nearly a KSU Wildcat.

Quote
Close, but ...

TUCSON, Ariz. -- Arizona freshman guard Gilbert Arenas knew early on in the recruiting process that he wanted to be a Wildcat -- a Kansas State Wildcat.

Current K-State assistant Butch Hawking first learned of the 6-foot-3 Arenas, a native of North Hollywood, Calif., in 1997 while he was an assistant at Cal State Northridge. Hawking soon began recruiting the 15-year-old sophomore.

One year later, Hawking took his services and his Arenas recruiting edge to Manhattan.

"(K-State) was the school I was going to go to," Arenas told the Arizona Daily Star.

But that all changed in the summer of 1998, when Arenas caught the attention of several Division I programs with his play at various camps. The Arizona Wildcats soon entered the recruiting mix, and Arenas decided to call Tucson his college home.

"We thought we had a chance at him," Hawking told the Daily Star. "You win some, you lose some."

Hawking homecoming

Tuesday night's Preseason NIT game between K-State and Arizona, incidentally, was a homecoming of sorts for Hawking. The 28-year-old coach was stationed at Davis-Monathan Air Force Base in Tucson from 1994-96. A graduate of the Air Force Academy, he was the maintenance officer-in-charge of 28 A-10 attack planes for the 357th fighter squadron.

Hawking also was an assistant coach at Pima Community College in Tucson during the 1997-98 season and is married to a Tuscon native, the former Emily Zsitvay.
