What he said: "I guess it was just the best fit," Randolph told Scout.com. "It had everything we were looking for."

Randolph told Scout he wanted to study accounting and finance at UA and that academics appeared to be a big part of the Wildcats' program. In addition, he cited the personalized push UA coach Sean Miller made.

"What I like about (Miller) is he basically reached out to me a lot," Randolph told Scout. "He showed that he was really interested. Not just the assistant, a couple of schools I thought it was just the assistant coaches interested.

"I just felt me having a relationship with the head coach is a lot better. I just thought if he was interested in me and wants me and I loved their program, this would be a great fit."
