RichRod will be happy if he gets Salpointe's Holt 

On football letter-of-intent day 2016, the state’s three most sought recruits are likely to be defensive linemen, which is the most difficult position to fill with quality prospects. Salpointe Catholic junior Justin Holt, 6-2, 290, is Tucson’s leading prospect and has been offered a scholarship by Arizona. Phoenix has the other two Pac-12 level defensive linemen: Garrett Rand of Hamilton and Connor Murphy of Brophy. If RichRod can get one (or two) of them, he’ll be a happy man.
