Players to watch in 2010-11 By Vincent Balistreri ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT Walking around Arizona’s campus, you will encounter some of the world’s finest athletes. The UA has had many former athletes go on
to compete in the NBA, NFL, MLB and the Olympics.You might be eating lunch in the Student Union Memorial Center with the next big sports star. This school year, there will be athletes on campus who will set themselves up for the next level. Here are some of players to watch for in the 2010-11 season.
he never looked back. Foles led the team to its second-straight bowl game, and midway through the Pac-10 schedule, was arguably the best Pac-10 QB. Foles slowed down toward the end of the season, but if the junior can put together a complete season in 2010, the sky is the limit.
Derrick Williams
Kenzie Fowler
If you take a look at the 2011 NBA mock drafts, you’re just about guaranteed to see Derrick Williams as first-round pick. Last season, Williams surprised many with his play, which led the team in scoring, averaging 15 points and seven rebounds and ending the season by making the freshman All-American first team. The sophomore is the only player on the freshman All-American first team to return to school, which means Williams should be considered the best sophomore in college basketball.
Pitcher Kenzie Fowler came to Arizona with high expectations and she lived up to all of them. The freshman pitcher had a 38-9 record for the Wildcats and had four no-hitters in her first season. Fowler was a critical part in the Wildcats’ Women’s College World Series run, being named to the WCWS first team and leading Arizona to a runner-up finish.
Whitney Dosty Volleyball redshirt senior Whitney Dosty has battled injuries her entire Wildcat career, but when healthy, she is one of the nation’s best volleyball players. Dosty came to Arizona in 2006 with one of the most impressive freshman seasons in the history of the program. Dosty enters her last season at Arizona and could end her career on a high note, barring any more injuries.
Juron Criner Last season, Arizona’s junior wide receiver Juron Criner became the Wildcats’big play threat and major concern for the opposing team’s defenses. As a sophomore, Criner had 45 catches for 582 yards and had a teamhigh nine touchdowns. The junior is another big-time season away from the NFL Draft, so you may want to pay attention because he may not be around for long.

Arizona junior quarterback Nick Foles started the 2009-10 season as the backup behind junior Matt Scott. Who could forget last season’s opener, when Arizona’s coaching staff told Foles he would get some snaps? In Arizona’s third game against Iowa, Foles was given the chance when Scott struggled, and

Oregon State aims for Rose Bowl after tough break in 2009
as the Ducks sliced and diced almost every opponent they faced. The upcoming season had figured to be more of the same, but legal troubles forced head coach Chip Kelly to dismiss Masoli from the team. While this is undoubtedly a major blow, the Ducks, led by running back LaMichael James and wide receiver Jeff Maehl, will still be one of the top teams in the Pac-10.
OREGON STATE The Beavers were just a few minutes away from a Rose Bowl berth and although the
team lost it at the hands of archrival Oregon, Oregon State continued to establish itself as a legitimate contender in 2009. The 2010 team is widely considered to be in the mix for the Pac10 title again and although they lost quarterback Sean Canfield, the Beavers return with two of the most

electrifying offensive players in the country — brothers James and Jacquizz Rodgers.
STANFORD Make way for the mighty Cardinal. Head coach Jim Harbaugh’s crew burst onto the scene in 2009, and tied for second in the Pac-10 with Arizona and Oregon State. Stanford loses 2009 Heisman Trophy runner-up Toby Gerhart, but stud quarterback Andrew Luck — a potential No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft — looks to pick up where he left off last season.
UCLA The Bruins eked out a bowl berth in 2009 and finished with a 7-6 overall record. UCLA was an enigma last season as it struggled to find its rhythm, despite premier talent and coaching. The Bruins return with a topnotch defense and an offense that is poised for a breakout year. FOOTBALL, page B20
