Arizona walk-on guard Grant Weitman has entered the transfer portal, according to Verbal Commits, as he was expected to after spending four seasons with the Wildcats.
Weitman said before starting UA's Senior Day game against Oregon on March 2 that he wasn't sure if he would use his extra "COVID" season of eligibility to transfer elsewhere but UA coach Tommy Lloyd said he expected Weitman would leave for a final college season.
“To be honest with you, the conversations Grant and I have had is he has one year to play, and he wants to go play somewhere next year,” Lloyd said on his radio show in late February. “He’s a really good player and helps us in practice so much. He’s physical. He’s aggressive. He’s gotten to a point where he can make shots. He takes pride making hard shots and get our guys all frustrated.
“It’s been great to watch him kind of grow up as a young man in my three years here. I have a ton of fun being around him.”
The grandson of a close friend to former UA coach Lute Olson, Weitman helped lead Salpointe Catholic to the Arizona 4A title in 2020. He then joined the Wildcats under then-coach Sean Miller in 2020-21 and stayed through the first three seasons of Lloyd's tenure, playing in 45 games during his UA career.
“Obviously being from Tucson, it was a dream of mine to come here and be able to do it," Weitman said before the Senior Day game. "Time flew by really fast, but I’ve loved every minute of being here."
