TUCSON – It’s hard to imagine any recruit being more familiar with the program he’s about to join than Rhett Rodriguez. But shortly after the Tucson Catalina Foothills quarterback’s commitment to Arizona became official Wednesday, he realized he was about to experience something new.

“It’s going to be interesting, because I’m never the guy he yells at,” Rodriguez said – “he” being Rich Rodriguez, Rhett’s father and the Wildcats’ head coach.

“At practice, he’ll yell at people. I don’t think it’s funny, but I’m like, ‘Eh, that’s just what Dad does.’ If he’s yelling at me, which will happen … I’ll be fine.
