Ironwood Ridge's Ken Samson (15) latches onto the collar of Nogales' Ricky Paredes (4) to help bring him down on a sweep in the second quarter of their game at Ironwood Ridge High School, Friday, Sept. 2, 2016, Oro Valley, Ariz. Kelly Presnell / Arizona Daily Star

Arizona is recruiting Ironwood Ridge linebacker Ken Samson, and has invited Samson to a pair of games at Arizona Stadium this season. Stanford is also recruiting Samson, and I can’t ever recall Arizona beating Stanford in a recruiting contest, whether it be softball’s Sarah Beeson of CDO or football’s Corey Hill of Sabino, or anyone.
