Since the NBA Draft started nearly 80 years ago, the Arizona Wildcats have produced 75 draft picks. Former Arizona forward Carter Bryant is expected to be the 76th Wildcat to hear his name called at the NBA Draft. UA star guard Caleb Love, who is a projected second-round pick or undrafted free agent, could be the 77th if he's selected on Thursday. Since 1979, Arizona has had 26 players taken in the first round of the NBA Draft, with Bryant expected to be the 27th.

The Star is continuing its series, “Behind the Bear Down,” which focuses on five glue pieces of Arizona football on a weekly basis in the fall — most of them year-round.

On the floor above the Arizona football offices at the Lowell-Stevens Football Facility, there’s another team that operates on a daily basis — and they’re a pertinent link to the UA football chain.

Arizona checked off another priority on its recruiting sheet: landing a Polynesian player. The Wildcats landed a commitment from offensive and defensive lineman Kaisi Lafitaga on Monday. Lafitaga, who took an official visit to the UA over the weekend, announced his commitment on Instagram. The 6-3, 290-pound Lafitaga also held offers from Alcorn State and Hawaii. The Tafuna, American Samoa native is from the same hometown as former UA offensive lineman Jonah Savaiinaea.

It's fair to say Arizona defensive back Treydan Stukes has endured peaks and valleys during his time as a Wildcat. The high moments: a 10-win season, winning the Alamo Bowl, winning the Territorial Cup in back-to-back seasons, having a role in several upset victories, receiving a full-ride scholarship after starting as a walk-on in 2020 and evolving into a team captain. Stukes was even dubbed "the best-kept secret" in college football by former Arizona defensive coordinator Duane Akina.
