We’re in the process of trying to develop the younger players that we have.”Arizona takes a 15-game losing streak—the longest active skid in FBS—into Saturday’s Pac-12 opener at third-ranked Oregon. We are in the process of trying to get a great recruiting class. We’re in the middle of a rebuild. In our college “I would say this: the program has just started. Our goal is to help students represent the very best of themselves for stand-out applications to increase the chance of acceptance and scholarship dollars. At College Inroads, we simplify the complicated road to college with a 14-step personalized plan.
You don’t usually just walk into a winning organization.“I don’t know if anyone’s been at a program that was 0-12 then had a totally brand new staff with a brand new quarterback. I can point to a million different teams where, year one is a process. “We took over a program that, the last game that they played, they lost 70-7 to their rival. That buzz is gone now, but Fisch said that shouldn’t be the case based on what he and his staff inherited.“No one thought this was going to be an easy turnaround just because of the fact we were able to catch a football from 600 feet in the air, or because we were able to have incredible energy and enthusiasm in the offseason, or becauase we have a great bunch of recruits that want to come be a part of our program,” he said. He said they’re disappointed about the NAU loss but wouldn’t as far as to consider them devastated.“I believe that they’re going to respond really well to what’s coming our way in the next nine weeks,” he said.It could be said that Fisch “won” the offseason with how he promoted the program, reconnecting with alumni and making inroads on the recruiting trail.
“And I really believe at that point in time, the results will start coming.”Fisch pointed to the UA women’s basketball program under Adia Barnes, which went 20-40 in her first two seasons (including a 6-24 record in 2017-18) and three years later played in the NCAA title game.“We’re going to try to emulate or replicate what Adia Barnes did,” he said. The Bruins hadn’t won a nonconference game under Kelly until this year and are now ranked in the AP Top 25.“We know that this season was going to be a great challenge for us, and our goal is each week to get better,” he said.
