Sean Miller mentioned a couple weeks ago that the Wildcats would be holding a tryout to find a walk-on to add to the roster.
With all the team’s injuries, coupled with Trier’s eligibility questions, the Wildcats needed more bodies. That was no more evident then on Wednesday when Jackson-Cartwright went down.
Earlier Wednesday, the UA announced the addition of just that — 6-foot-3 guard Kory Jones from Herndon, Virginia.
Jones suited up on Wednesday, though he didn’t play.
Arizona’s other three walk-ons — Tyler Trillo, Jake Desjardins and Paulo Cruz — all saw the floor, though, and Trillo nearly made a 3-pointer. His attempt rimmed out, much to the chagrin of his teammates on the bench, ready to celebrate.
