Head coach Rich Rodriguez slings balls to his players as the team works out on the first day of spring practice for the University of Arizona football team, Wednesday, March 4, 2015, Tucson, Ariz. Kelly Presnell / Arizona Daily Star

RichRod makes impressive move 

You had to be impressed with Rich Rodriguez’s recruiting of Los Angeles Junipero Serra quarterback Khalil Tate, who committed to Arizona two weeks ago. Serra is “the” USC stronghold in Southern California. Getting its star quarterback is a coup of note. Not only do you battle USC at Serra — which produced stars Marqise LeeRobert Woods and Adoree’ Jackson for the Trojans — but its coach, Scott Altenberg and his father, a former UCLA standout, both have long UCLA ties.
