I suspect RichRod’s three leading priorities between now and the September opener against UTSA areΒ (1) to engage in a thorough evaluation of redshirt freshman quarterbackΒ Brandon Dawkins; (2) to rebuild an offensive line around junior transferΒ Freddie Tagaloa, a 6-foot-8-inch, 315-pound former starter at Cal, who is likely the UA’s top NFL prospect; (3) attempt to develop sophomoreΒ Cameron DensonΒ into a franchise-type cornerback, which would include Denson’s total buy-in as a defensive player and not someone who will someday be converted back as a receiver/returner, as in his glory days at Salpointe.Β
