For the first time, the NCAA will allow college football teams to open training camps in July, and Arizona State coach Todd Graham is among the first to announce that the Sun Devils will indeed take advantage and open camp July 25. Arizona’s Rich Rodriguez has not announced the official dates of football camp. He could score heavily with the UA’s first-ever Polynesian Athletic Showcase at Arizona Stadium on June 9-10. Compared to most Pac-12 schools, the UA has been tardy in recruiting Polynesian football players. Now, it will become more aggressive, sharing the June 9-10 camp with BYU, which currently lists 36 Polynesian players on its roster. The UA expects players from American Samoa, Hawaii, California and Colorado.Â
