OT Rhett Rod (son of RR) to play QB at Arizona
Remember when Rich Rod jokingly said that his young son would one day be a Michigan QB? Well he's a 3 star dual threat and committed to Arizona. Pretty impressive hightlights - though not sure about the level of competition:

It was the nacho dip.
January 14th, 2017 at 10:44 AM ^
as a coach but also a father-figure.
January 14th, 2017 at 6:12 AM ^
I hope it works out for him. If my father had been a coach, I don't think I would have wanted to play for him.
January 14th, 2017 at 8:06 AM ^
I was thinking the same thing. My Dad being a dick from the stands was bad enough.

Arizona just lost a 4* commit to Willie Taggert and Oregon so he might have to be Rhett-y sooner rather than later.
January 14th, 2017 at 7:24 AM ^
Brutal -- it appears that the guy was *this* close to enrolling at Arizona and starting classes when he got the Oregon offer.
January 14th, 2017 at 6:08 PM ^
Better hope he's the Rhett guy for the job
January 14th, 2017 at 8:57 PM ^
You're Rhett, he better be, or else he'll be gone with the wind...
January 14th, 2017 at 7:53 AM ^
Hope both are able to handle the pressure that will be a natural part of this unique opportunity. Hoping he is able to enjoy a memorable and rewarding college experience.

Disclaimer: I live in Tucson, but I don't follow the local sports that much.
Rhett went to Catalina Foothills, which is on the north side of Tucson. That's the Bloomfield Hills of Tucson ... very nice homes up there, lots of Mercedes and BMWs**. I don't live up there. I drive a 10-year old Hyundai.
Googling around, I found an article that raised a bit of an eyebrow at Rhett getting a scholarship when he could have been granted PWO and received a tuition waiver because his father (RR) is an employee. The article was written before the 2016 season where speculation was ripe about RR going to another program.
2017 is going to be a very interesting year for UA football. They did not fare well in 2016 (3-9), and others in the PAC-12 seem to be outpacing them (Washington, USC, a potentially revitalized Oregon). Another down year like 2016 and I suspect the drums of change will sound. UA football fans are not that demanding ... 8 wins, beat ASU ... but will grow discontent over time.
** As opposed to Scottsdale, which is just northeast of Phoenix, where you see lots of Bentleys and Lamborghinis. That place is crazy-rich.

To a point ...
... I visited the Roger Pensky museum up in Scottsdale, which is part of Roger Pensky's larger high-end car dealership. They had a used Bentley on display. Used. A quarter million.
Like Vincent Vega from Pulp Fiction -- "That's a pretty good milk shake, but it's not worth five dollars."
To each their own, I guess.
The Indy cars on display in the museum were cool. Those things are tiny.

Sure ... no problem with Rodriguez living there. Lots of people do.
Tucson is an interesting place. It's really spread out. There's not much of a "downtown," and what little there is mostly courthouses and banks. The original growth went east, then it turned north. U of A is located just east of downtown Tucson.
Growth to the north eventually reached its limit with the Catalina mountains. Hence the neighborhood there called "Catalina foothills." From there it went northwest, up the I-10 corridor towards Phoenix.
The place was hit really hard by the real estate crash of 2008. Real estate prices are still recovering from that.

Hey ... I'm an old man with little more to live for. Michigan football and being that guy who has boring shit to say on an internet blog. #cliffclaven :-)

DonAZ, that is just not true about Scottsdale. Ferraris and Porsches yes, but Lamborghinis not so much...
January 14th, 2017 at 9:07 AM ^
I saw one. I was at a cigar shop and when I stepped out there it was. Agree they may not be as thick on the ground as Ferraris and Porsches, but I saw one.
Down in Tucson, not so much. Lots of late-model Buicks and Oldsmobiles in Tucson ... retired folks living here who have cars from years ago. Nothing rusts in Tucson.
Oh, and pickup trucks. Lots and lots of pickup trucks. :-)
