The Arizona Wildcats turned east for a reliable, experienced guard last season in Justin Kier.
Could another east-coaster become Kier’s replacement?
Arizona is one of at least eight schools to express interest in St. Bonaventure grad transfer Kyle Lofton, a 6-foot-3 guard with one remaining year of eligibility. Other programs interested in Lofton are Purdue, Rutgers, Florida, Texas Tech, Tennessee, Seton Hall and Kansas State, according to Jon Rothstein of FanDuel (yes, sportsbooks employ reporters these days).
