ASUA senate approves funding BY BRANDI WALKER The Daily Wildcat

After much debate, senators partially approved the initial $3,485 funding request from Students for Sustainability to fund a trip to a conference in October.

Dr. Sue Sisley recently announced that two site locations for her marijuana research are confirmed, one of which may be in Colorado. On Friday, Sisley’s contract at the UA officially came to an end. The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies has been working with her to find a location that will allow her to research marijuana to the extent needed for her study. Sisley’s research is on the effect of marijuana on posttraumatic stress disorder in veterans. “I have a very important announcement about the sites where this study will ultimately be conducted,” Sisley said. “We are splitting the entire study in three parts. Two of my sites have been officially confirmed.” Sisley did not disclose the new locations, however. Information had been circulating that Sisley would take her study to Colorado, where marijuana is legal not only in medicinal form, but also for recreational use. Brad Burge, director of communication and marketing at MAPS, confirmed that they are looking toward Colorado for one of the research locations. “It’s true that there’s a Colorado study location,” Burge said, “but the details haven’t been finalized yet.” The University of Colorado Anschutz, however, stated that there is no formal agreement with Sisley at this time, according to Erika Matich, interim director of communication at the university. However, although they are looking to Colorado, Sisley and MAPS are hoping there is a chance they can keep the study in Arizona, with their eyes set on Arizona State

‘Know Your Rights’ raises questions BY COURTNEY RICE The Daily Wildcat

The Black Student Union presented the Know Your Rights forum, a dialogue on law enforcement and racial profiling, on Wednesday evening in the Union Kiva room of the Student Union Memorial Center. Kevyn Butler, president of the BSU, and Trinity Goss, vice president of the BSU, spoke about why they thought it was necessary for everyone to come together to start a dialogue about the relation between black students and law enforcement, including potential problems such as racial profiling and hate crimes. Know Your Rights utilized a video isolating the last words of victims of police brutality and racially politicized killings. The video included clips from recent infamous incidents, such as audio of Trayvon Martin’s last words.

Haliburton’s poster said, “the UA justice is feeling comfortable and safe enough to have a constructive conversation about controversial issues on academic setting.”

Kendal Washington White, dean of students, said she has two teenage sons and that the deaths and violence against young people because of race hits

home. “Why do they get killed for just hanging out?” she asked. After the video presentation, White invited

the audience to write poems about their experiences with racial profiling. Hers was about her realization that profiling is still practiced after hearing about her

father’s experiences. “Went to change tires,” she said. “Suspected. Arrested.” Brian Seastone, the University of Arizona Police Department chief, also read a poem he wrote, titled, “How Can I Help You?” “I want to make people feel safe on campus and around other people,” Seastone said, “because we are here to be human beings, so treat them with respect.” Seastone has made a point to create four core values for his department to abide by: professionalism, integrity, commitment and accountability. He said that any UAPD officer who did not meet these core values in an interaction with a student should be reported to the station. The floor was then opened up to the audience for a Q&A session with UAPD officers. Lederius

Fair connects students to volunteer organizations BY Ariella Noth

The Daily Wildcat

Organizations gathered for the volunteer fair on Wednesday to help students discover and become involved in new volunteering opportunities on the UA Mall. Hosted by the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, the volunteer fair welcomed organizations from around Tucson to recruit students. The organizations presented information with posters while people talked to interested individuals, promoting their organizations and pointing out the benefits of volunteering. Bryan Namba, VolunteerUA executive director, said the volunteer fair is hosted every semester so students can learn about nonprofit organizations, student clubs and other service opportunities. Organizations included animal shelters, those working with children and those working for sustainability. “We bring them to campus to promote their organization and message to campus, just so they can get volunteers,” Mamba said. “Some are looking for long-time volunteers, some are looking for one-time volunteers, interns or various positions.” Students walked throughout the various tents mid-morning to explore the volunteer options the UA offers and to talk with the current volunteers who came to promote their organizations. Francisco Fouts-Tupikan, a pre-business sophomore, is a long-term volunteer and volunteers once a week at an elementary school. “I like to help out,” Fouts-Tupikan said. “It’s nice to give back to the community. It’s nice to see a smile on someone else’s face that needs a bit of help.” According to a UnitedHealth Group survey in its Health and Volunteering Study,

volunteering has positive aspects, and of those who volunteered in the last 12 months, 94 percent reported that volunteering improved their mood. “Whenever I need someone’s help, and I get it, it makes me feel happy that someone is supporting me,” Fouts-Tupikan said. “So, it’s all about paying it forward.” Cynthia Hernandez, an environmental

sciences junior, is a member of Students for Sustainability and helped out at the volunteer fair. She said that although there are preferences people have when volunteering, they should get involved with whatever is available to them. “I get involved with the community in any way I can, whether it be environmentally or [for] social justice,” Hernandez said.

More information regarding organizations students may be interested in volunteering for can be found on the VolunteerUA website or the organizations’ websites.

with other members of the program. “It’s really a catalyst for change we can bring here,” Falwell said. Finnegan requested a report from group members who attended the conference about what they feel they gained from the experience and how the program at the UA has improved some time after the conference. ASUA Sen. Joshua Wexler then asked how the presence of UA students at the conference will impact the entire student body. “All 60 interns will bring back information to share with other university entities,” Falwell said. He also explained how UA attendance at prior conferences such as this one led to the expansion of the UA Greeks Think Green program. The program we have is bigger than ever,” Falwell said. The senate then yielded to ASUA Sen. Joe Zanoni, who moved to approve a $2,700 funding amount for the Students for Sustainability trip. This motion was approved by the ASUA Senate.

Franklin, a junior studying history and philosophy, was one of 50 students and faculty members who went to ask a question and hear how UAPD responded. “I am here because I am curious to see people’s answers to the questions presented,” Franklin said. Later, Seastone was asked by a student how UAPD responds to hate crimes. “We get state or federal agencies involved depending on the decision we make about the severity of the issue,” Seastone said. “Usually, they are misunderstandings, though. We respond based on people’s behaviors when we arrive on the scene.” Another student asked, “How do you talk about racism in the police department? Because our ideas are all shaped by media and social surroundings, so how do you fight through them?” White commented on UAPD’s relationship with students. “Many think police only talk to themselves at the station,” White said, “but the campus police are very involved in the community with our students.”

Arthropods take over SUMC ballroom BY JOHN MCMULLEN The Daily Wildcat

Tarantulas and cockroaches and beetles — oh, my! This is not the start to a new version of “The Wizard of Oz,” but, rather, just some of the arthropods that were present Sunday at the fourth annual Arizona Insect Festival. 3,000 people all across the Tucson community, and even from as far as Phoenix, came to the UA this past Sunday to see all of the creepy-crawly insects and other arthropods that you can find on this planet, according to Kathleen Walker, an assistant professor in the department of entomology and director of the Insect Discovery outreach program. The department of entomology put on a party to celebrate the diversity of insects with the UA and greater Tucson communities, said Wendy Moore, an assistant professor of insect systematics in the department of entomology and the UA Insect Collection curator. “[The goal of the Arizona Insect Festival] is to educate and to engage the Tucson community, both about how amazing and important insects are [and] how they have shaped our world and daily life,” Walker said. “[It’s] also to let them know about all of the amazing insect science research that is occurring at the UA

We also had out all of our favorites, like Hercules beetles, Horselover grasshoppers,

vinegaroons, centipedes, tarantulas, mantids and walking sticks.” Many at the festival relished in it being a free experience, which Walker explained is one of the many wonderful aspects of the event. “I would recommend this event because kids are becoming familiar with insects and understanding how we work together with them,” said

A national organization to foster a sense of community for LGBT students in STEM fields is coming to the UA. Cole Eskridge, a third-year graduate student studying entomology and insect science, is starting an Out in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics chapter at the UA. OSTEM is a national organization that started in 2005 and now has more than 50 chapters throughout the U.S. The organization’s goal is to foster leadership and involvement of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields. For the UA chapter to be recognized nationally, it needs to get approval from the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, which it is waiting for, according to Eskridge. “We want to create a community of scientists encouraging a development of queer culture in the sciences for people to feel comfortable expressing themselves,” Eskridge said. Eskridge plans on holding events for professional development, such as having someone from Career Services come in to help make a curriculum vitae for graduate schools and encouraging more people in the sciences to be Safe Zone trained. The Safe Zone Project is a series of workshops that train people to be allies to the queer community or, if they’re within the queer community, help educate them further, Eskridge explained.

Current state of Ebola outbreak draws concern of health officials BY DARA FARHADI

[My daughter] is really young, but they talk to her and engage her. … It is great that they are inclusive of the little ones.” There were about 200 participants volunteering at the festival this year, Walker said. Many of these individuals were students, staff or faculty at the UA. However, there were three middle school teachers from the Sunnyside Unified School District who brought some of their students, who were eager to share their passion for insects with others, Walker added. “There is just something about bugs,” Walker said. “They capture [everyone’s] imagination. Insects have this special attraction about them … and the world is less scary when you are not afraid of insects.”

Flawed male role models hurt men BY Tom Johnson

The Daily Wildcat

abhor men’s rights activists. This is mainly because they do not campaign for the rights of men, but against the rights and expansion of the societal presence and role of women. MRAs are bad and they should feel bad. Most of their arguments about custody battles or circumcision or “false” rape accusations can easily be discredited. J.F. Sargent on Cracked hit the nail on the head: The big reason the MRA movement is so popular is insecurity, taking the malice that so much of the male population today is filled with and redirecting it toward a certain subject, just like other hate groups do, enough so that the Southern Poverty Law Center even considers MRAs to be one. The reason they can do that is the vast yawning void in male identity today, which is being filled with a haphazard reactionary mess from the kinds of horrid people who were the nadir of “old” masculinity. The laughably unironic idolization of Tyler Durden and the adoption of the old-fashioned “rugged” fedora, with approximately the style of a drunk chimpanzee, says about as much. There’s been documentaries as well, from the “Tough Guise: Violence, Media and the Crisis in Masculinity,” by Jackson Katz, to the upcoming “The Mask We Live In,” which talk about how the messed-up things men do happen because they want to be seen as “real men.” It highlights how our culture’s perceptions of masculinity makes it so that most violent crime is committed by men and how sexual aggression is shown as the only effective avenue for being sufficiently masculine: getting laid. Mainline feminism has failed to address these issues of male identity as adequately as I’d like, but it’s understandable why. After all, as the famous Louis C.K. routine says, if women courting men is like women courting half-bear, half-lions, you would not be concerned much for the welfare of the bear-lion as for the woman. But filling in this gap is crucial to creating a more egalitarian culture. There have been attempts at fixing the male identity before, like the Good Men Project, which aims to be the sort of project I speak of. But then again, one of its writers, Hugo Schwyzer endorsed rape culture by saying that women owed sex to their drug dealers and a quick Tumblr search on him shows that he’s kind of a scumbag anyway, given how poorly he’s treated so many of the women he’s known and yet still parades himself about as a “feminist.” “The Price Is Right” “whammy” music would be appropriate right about now. There are few cultural role models for boys that fall between the hypermasculine macho men and the sensitive, intellectual men that are constructed as the only acceptable binary. I think we need a movement to advocate for that healthy space: a men’s movement that is distinct from feminism but allied with it and rooted in feminist theory. Part of this is to avoid the selfcongratulation that’s so prevalent amongst male feminist-allies that the term “feminist cookie” has been adopted for it. To quote the United Kingdom’s National Union of Students women’s officer Kelley Temple, “Men who want to be feminists do not need to be given a space in feminism. They need [to] take the space they have in society and make it feminist.” If we want to make the world better for women, we need to make better men— men whose identity doesn’t depend on hosing women. As an example, most cat-calling isn’t even about sex, but about “male bonding,” and it’s unfathomably messed up that we feel the need to hurt women to belong. We need a better version of male interaction, one that doesn’t involve ganging up on women. And we shouldn’t just work for white straight cis men, but also for men of color, gay men, bisexual men and transgender men. We need to make a new male culture that doesn’t marginalize them, that doesn’t force them to be somebody who they don’t want to be, that doesn’t treat them as a “threat” or a jokey sideline to “real” masculinity. We need men with more platonic female friends, who prove that you can be friends with a woman without sex coming into play, who prove that the “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus” dichotomy is bullshit and show that, at our core, men and women are more similar than they are different. Because, if we don’t, there are always the MRAs at the fringes to fill that void, licking their lips like wolves at the door.

Vaccine verdict up to victims BY Chikezie Anachu The Daily Wildcat

ugust 2014: In a crowded bank in Lagos, Nigeria, people stand in columns waiting to be attended to. To get into the hall, they underwent a baptism by fire. First, they had to stand in the heat of the sun to get their temperatures scanned. A slight abnormality in anyone’s temperature meant they would not be allowed in. Afterwards, they were required to cleanse their fingers with hand sanitizer. An ordinary banking transaction of 15 minutes had now turned into hours. A TV hangs from the bank’s wall, showing the world news from CNN International. Suddenly, a woman watching the news screams, “Ope oh,” or, “thank God.” Everyone’s attention follows her gaze, and immediately, the banking hall erupts in cheers and chatter, their joy predicated solely on the CNN broadcast that Dr. Kent Brantly had recovered from Ebola thanks to the experimental drug ZMapp. That, I imagine, was the atmosphere in most of West Africa upon receiving news that ZMapp had been successfully given to American and British Ebola survivors. Unfortunately, that joy has been heavily dampened by the news that these drugs will not be distributed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in West Africa until all clinical trials and procedures are complete.

YOUR VIEWS From “No-knock warrants are troubling” (by Ashleigh Horowitz, Sept. 24) The country that prides itself like no other on liberties and freedom keeps flushing those very core values further and further down the toilet. As a native of Germany — the country often accused of being a police state — I’m speechless at the ongoing abuse of power and militarization of U.S. police. Deeply troubling, as the article says. — Daniel Stolte From “Pima Community College fighting to keep its accreditation” (by Adriana Espinosa, Sept. 24) This article rightly points out that probation had to do with governance, not academics. However, the optimistic view

not move the West until Western citizens began dying. They will also ponder why it took so long for a therapy — one that has shown great potential — to reach them, at the cost of some extra thousand lives. The treatment cannot be so complex that it requires whole new pharmaceutical processes. If pharmaceutical companies and the government wanted to administer the treatment, they could. Until the Food and Drug Administration approves the therapy, one might as well wish Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia good luck with figuring out how to hold on until then. It is in an atmosphere of fear, disease and death such as this one that radical groups can develop and acquire the power to commit acts of terrorism and overthrow governments. Increased and faster action is required in the meantime. It is for this reason that President Barack Obama’s announcement that 3,000 troops will be sent to Liberia is a good step forward. The missions that have worked and continue to work in affected nations remain a symbol to the world of how globalization also has a humanitarian face. These missionaries and aid workers are the true heroes of this outbreak, the true faces of angels that many affected by this outbreak will actually remember.

POLICE BEAT BY ADRIANA ESPINOSA The Daily Wildcat

Dabbin’

IT’S A GREAT BIG UNIVERSE OUT THERE.

Two students were diverted to the Dean of Students Office on Sept. 16 for possession of drug paraphernalia and butane hash oil or wax, also known as dabs. At about 10:17 p.m., a University of Arizona Police Department police officer was called to the Coronado Residence Hall. When the officer arrived, he met with the resident assistant on duty, who told the officer that as he was finishing nightly rounds, he could smell a very strong odor of marijuana on the second floor. The RA took the officer to the second floor, and he could also smell the marijuana as soon as he entered the floor. The officer went to the room where the odor was most prominent and knocked on the door. The officer heard men speaking in the room, and when they finally opened the door, a man answered. The student who answered the door was the resident of the room. The officer asked the student if he could step inside, which the student agreed to. When the officer stepped inside the room, there was another student there as well. The officer asked for identification from both of them and said that he could smell a strong odor of marijuana in the room. One of the boys, whose eyes were glossy and read, shook his head. The officer asked if there was any marijuana in the room and they pointed to the desktop. The officer then found a pen vaporizer and a pink rubber ball with hash oil inside it. One student said that the items belonged to both of them, and the other resident agreed. The officer explained the diversion program to the students and took the vaporizer and wax into evidence.

A UA student had his laptop stolen inside his dorm room at the Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall sometime between Sept. 12-14. A UAPD officer met with the student and resident of the room in reference to his laptop being stolen. The student said that he believed his Apple MacBook Pro laptop was stolen from his room while he was away. He said that he was the last resident to leave the room and realized his laptop was gone the next morning, but thought he had just misplaced it. After looking for the laptop and asking friends, the student called UAPD. The student said that he occasionally leaves his door unlocked because one of his roommates lost his key and has not yet replaced it. However, the student did not suspect that either of his roommates took his laptop. The student did not have the serial number for the laptop, but said he would look for it and call UAPD when he had the information. The residence hall is also checking security cameras to see if any unknown person was in the hall around the time the laptop went missing.

BY MATT WALL

The Daily Wildcat

Arizona women’s gymnastics is back and ready for the upcoming season, as the team started mandatory practices this past week. Leading the team this year is the senior trio of Allison Flores, Kristin Klarenbach and Amber Wobma, who will each play a vital part as role models for the rest of the squad. “This senior class, if you look at the history of the program, has done quite a bit of scoring,” UA head coach Bill Ryden said. “They have been major players ever since they walked on campus, and I wouldn’t expect anything less this year.” Flores was named team MVP last season, playing the captain-like role in meets with her calm and collected aura. She competed in every meet last year and in the all-around in nine meets, posting a career high of 39.425 with career highs on all four of her events. “Arizona is such a good legacy, and it’s an honor to lead that legacy,” Flores said. “Obviously, we didn’t do as well as we wanted to [last] year, and I’m looking forward to putting a name out for ourselves and this team. I know that we have worked really hard, so hopefully we are able to make a name for ourselves this year.” Flores was also named Pac-12 Conference Vault Co-Champion and earned personal records of 9.900 on floor, 9.900 on bars, 9.950 on vault and 9.850 on beam. Adding to the senior lineup is Klarenbach, who earned second-team All-American and second-team All-Conference honors on floor.

It is too early to pinpoint the team’s strengths. However, a unanimous opinion among the hockey team and coaching staff is that this season’s team is full

She competed in every meet on vault and floor, earning nine scores of 9.900 or above on floor. Finishing out the trio is Wobma, who last season tied her career high on vault and competed in every beam and floor lineup. Additionally, she was a Pac-12 All-Academic honorable mention and named Wildcat Student Athlete of the month in May. “We have such a great group this year and I think we can really go far,” Wobma said. “Leading by example and being a good role models is what a leader and a senior is supposed to do.” Even though it is their last year, all three said they are determined to make it to nationals for the first time in 12 years. After their disappointing sixth-place finish at the Baton Rouge Regional, these GymCat seniors are ready to push it to the next level. Whether that means being a role model in the lineup or in the classroom, the senior trio knows what it takes to be successful and bring three additional years of experience to the table, especially having been competing since their freshman years. “What I really want from them is to still in that fourth year, try to up their game a little more,” Ryden said. “It is what we are asking of all of these athletes. Even though they have done amazing things and honors, I still want them to dig deep and up their game.”

Senior outside hitter Madi Kingdon tallied 20 kills and 15 digs, leading No. 18 Arizona volleyball to a 3-2 (21-25, 25-22, 25-21, 25-27, 15-13) triumph over No. 19 ASU in front of an audience of 3,574 people Wednesday night in McKale Center. Sophomore setter Penina Snuka and junior middle blocker Halli Amaro led the way defensively for the UA. Snuka compiled 60 assists and 18 digs, while Amaro notched 12 kills. “I’m really happy with the way our team competed,” Kingdon said. “There were things that went well for us and things that didn’t tonight. We need to work on finishing the game out, but in the end, we got the win, and that’s all that really matters.” A sloppy start caused Arizona to lose its first set at home this season. Early errors by Kingdon and freshman McKenzie Jacobson allowed ASU to gain momentum and jump out to an early 10-3 lead. Arizona soon adjusted to the Sun Devils’ gameplay

and began to pull things together, closing the gap within two points after a 5-0 run. ASU remained strong, however, and held off a late Arizona surge to take the first set 21-25. The Sun Devils began the second set by establishing another early advantage. This time, Arizona was much quicker to retaliate. Arizona chipped away until finally tying the score at 15. However, ASU responded by pulling ahead 20-17. Arizona grabbed its first lead of the night when a block by Snuka lifted the Wildcats to a 22-21 advantage. Consecutive kills from Ashley Harris, combined with a Sun Devil attack error, was all Arizona needed to tie the series at one set apiece. In the third set, the UA jumped out front and quickly established a lead. Two of the Wildcats’ first four points came via Sun Devil serve errors, and it wasn’t long before the UA threatened to pull ahead. Arizona extended its lead to 17-8 following a 10-3 run. A trio of kills by Kingdon put Arizona on the right track to open the fourth set, but the Wildcats found

their lead quickly slipping away after committing costly errors. ASU grabbed a 7-6 lead before an Arizona run propelled the Wildcats to a 10-8 advantage. The Sun Devils tied the score at 10, but two kills by Jacobson and an offensive error by ASU outside hitter Macey Gardner helped the UA to a 13-10 lead. The Wildcats and the Sun Devils battled within four points until ASU took the lead. Arizona immediately responded to tie it up 25-25 but seemed to be caught off guard as two ASU kills forced a decisive fifth set. After starting the final set down by three, Arizona rallied and surged ahead on a 6-1 run and threw the final punch necessary to beat ASU and secure its Pac12 Conference-leading 12th victory of the year. “I’m proud of our kids,” UA head coach Dave Rubio said. “They kept fighting and found a way to pull it off. It certainly wasn’t the prettiest, but they hung in there.”

Although it’s still 99 degrees in Tucson, grab your winter coat and bundle up because Arizona Wildcat hockey is back for the year. An official roster of 33 men begins the 2014-15 season under the direction of new head coach, Chad Berman. Arizona is currently ranked No. 18 in the 2014-15 ACHA Men’s Division 1 preseason ranking. This season, the captain is Shane Gleason, with assistant captains Matt Nowicki, Jason Effertz and Alex O’Dea. “We have a young team this year, so I’m striving to lead by example for these guys on and off the ice to show them how to be student-athletes,” Gleason said. “I expect us to battle for a whole 60 minutes each night to give ourselves a chance to win, and to settle for nothing less than our team goal of winning a national championship” Returning players Robbie Wilkinson, O’Dea, Gleason and Nowicki are primed for the opportunity to have veteran influence on rookies. Berman expects production and veteran leadership from those four players. “Since we lost our two top scorers from last season, I think it will really open up a lot of opportunity for guys like Wilkinson and O’Dea to make major contributions to the team this year,” Berman said. Berman believes that rookies Griffen Dyne, Orion Olsen, Alex Nespor, Kyle Griffin and Brett Fagerheim will stand out immediately. With these additions, the Wildcats gain depth that they have lacked during the past few seasons. The NCAA Division-III transfer from Hobart, Dylan Carter, is among the group of new faces that acts as a huge asset to the team. “[Carter] plays with a lot of speed and likes to get to the net as much as he likes to block shots,” Berman said. “I expect an immediate impact and leadership out of him.” Last year, Arizona’s rookie of the year was goalie Garrett Patrick, who impressed throughout the year with a save percentage of .894 and a GAA of 3.47. Patrick earned three shutouts and saved 34 of 36 shots for the win over then-No. 1 Minot State. Previously an independent program, the Arizona Wildcats joined the Western Collegiate Hockey League last year. The Wildcats finished with a record of 17-24 and made a postseason appearance. The 2014-15 squad is working hard to attain a winning record and prove it can climb the national rankings. “Last season was a bit inconsistent, so I believe we need to work on keeping our standard high for what we expect of ourselves every day,” Berman said. “If we can continue to improve with that attitude, anything is possible.”

wo words. Frank. Kaminsky. Remember him, Wildcat

fans? Yeah, I know it hurts to think about it, but of course you know him. He’s that enormous guy from America’s Heartland who eviscerated Arizona in the Elite Eight last year when he scored 28 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and stretched out the Wildcat defense all night on his way to leading Wisconsin to the Final Four. Yeah, Frank is a bad, bad man. I’m not saying Stephen Zimmerman is going to be the next Frank Kaminsky because, I mean, that would be crazy, right? No, what I’m really trying to say is, Zimmerman might actually be better. Listed at 7 feet tall and weighing 230 pounds, Zimmerman combines elite size with uncanny ball skills that are unheard of for someone as big as he is. While most 7-footers playing at the college level are a little goofy and mostly unathletic, Zimmerman is not just the guy that happens to be the tallest one on the court.

Watching any of his highlight tapes reveals a guy who can dribble, shoot from the outside, rebound, block shots and score in the paint. There is a reason most 2016 NBA mock drafts have Zimmerman as a lottery pick with comparisons to future Hall-of-Famer Dirk Nowitzki. Can you imagine how unstoppable Arizona’s inside game would be that year if Kaleb Tarczewski sticks around for his senior season? It would be like Stanford’s Lopez twins from a few years ago, minus the freaky twin mind-reading powers. Even if Tarczewski enters the 2015 NBA Draft, Zimmerman’s talent should translate immediately to the college game, and he would have no trouble starting. Ivan Rabb is a great player. No one is disputing that. But if there can be only one, Zimmerman has to be the choice. Big men with skills like Zimmerman just don’t come around very often. Don’t let this mythical beast get away, Sean Miller; use the Master Ball while you still can.

n 2015, Arizona is going to need a defensive force in the paint to fill the void that will be left after the likely departures of junior big men Kaleb Tarczewski and Brandon Ashley to the NBA. Five-star recruit Ivan Rabb would be a better fit in Arizona’s program than Stephen Zimmerman because of the defensive athleticism he’s expected to bring. Rabb, who was named the top recruit in his class last month, currently sits at No. 5 in the 2015 ESPN 100 and is ranked as the top basketball recruit in California. The 6-foot-10, 210-pound versatile and ambidextrous, power forward uses his entire 7-foot-3 wingspan to his advantage both offensively and defensively in the low post. In high school, Rabb has undoubtedly earned all the hype surrounding him after finishing his junior year nearly averaging a triple-double (27 points, 14

rebounds and seven blocks per game) for Bishop O’Dowd High School in Oakland, Calif. Rabb has recorded double-digit blocks in a game multiple times, and if his current skillset transfers over when he breaks into the collegiate ranks, he will be an invaluable asset to a defensiveminded team like Arizona. Rabb — even more so than Zimmerman — would provide the Wildcats with a betterrounded, multidimensional player. Rabb is an elite shotblocker and quality rebounder who possesses a decent midrange jump shot and distributes the ball well. Unlike with Zimmerman, Rabb would still offer the team the opportunity to be more defensively dangerous when employing a quicker three-guard lineup. If the team decides to go small, Rabb will still be available to crash the offensive glass and extend possessions. While he has the ability to split defenders on offense and can finish at the basket with power, Rabb truly prides himself on his passing game and possesses good court vision for a big man. He isn’t selfish and won’t hesitate to fake-out a defender with a no-look pass to one of his teammates.
