After University of Arizona found their man, Kevin Sumlin, to lead the Wildcats in December, Peoria Centennial High coach Richard Taylor figured he'd send a flyer out to Tucson on his All-Arizona running back.
Taylor said he never heard back.
Centennial's Zidane Thomas ended up being San Diego State's big prize on Wednesday when he signed his national football letter of intent with the Aztecs.
Meanwhile, Scottsdale Saguaro coach Jason Mohns and Chandler coach Shaun Aguano said they've not heard from UA since Sumlin was hired. Although most of the 2018 recruiting was done by Rich Rodriguez's staff at UA, they figured the new coaches would want to build toward the future getting to know the 2019 and 2020 prospects.
"We've not had anybody stop by or call," said Mohns, who has four players from his 2020 class who, since January, have picked up Oregon offers. "Interesting strategy."
