Arizona basketball: Wildcats shaping up nicely

Diets that Work Comments Off on Arizona basketball: Wildcats shaping up nicely

Arizona's biggest summertime hurdle wasn't always in the weight room or on the basketball court.

For many Wildcats, it was on the dining room table.

While senior Solomon Hill and freshman Brandon Ashley cut fast food out of their diets, freshman center Kaleb Tarczewski and sophomore forward Angelo Chol started eating fuller breakfasts in an effort to gain weight they will need inside.

Other than those adjustments, the UA staff has had little to worry about.

"We're as pleased as we could have been," said James Whitford, UA's associate head coach. "I couldn't say more good things about the freshmen class, their work ethics and the way they approach every day."

Here's how Whitford broke down each of the Wildcats' 10 active scholarship players (guard T.J. McConnell and forward Matt Korcheck are redshirting):

Seniors

Mark Lyons, G, 6-1, 188

Biggest challenge: A graduate transfer from Xavier in the summer, Lyons had to instantly move into a leadership role despite having just joined the Wildcats. He's also transitioning from playing mostly off the ball at Xavier to running the point at UA.

Whitford says: "He's quiet and humble in every drill that he does. He sets the tone. He's in excellent shape. He's a great athlete."
