I got my first in-person look at 7-foot Arizona freshman basketball playerΒ DeAndre AytonΒ last week as he walked through a corridor of McKale Center with fellow freshmanΒ Emmanuel Akot. How times have changed. Both Ayton and Akot appear much older than their listed ages of 18. They could pass for 25, and itβs not like they are skinny, going-to-get-pushed-around freshmen. This isnβt 1990 any more. The physical development of top college basketball prospects has changed dramatically.Β
