Alex Jacobson left Arizona with averages of 0.9 points and 0.9 rebounds in 68 games played.

Kind of hard to assemble a professional resume with those numbers.

But Jacobson will attempt to re-brand himself next month during a three-week exhibition trip to China on a team with other former U.S. college players, according to his agent, Steve Moeller.

Gene B wondered when the first game was. It's Nov. 11 against Charleston Southern. The full schedule can be found here or on UA's website. Many times are not set yet and the Pac-12 games are subject to minor date changes.

There was also some talk of whether Elliott Pitts' commitment will affect Keith Frazier or Arizona's interest in him. I don't believe it will on either end. Almost certainly not on Arizona's end because the Wildcats have a big need on the wing, though we will know for sure if Frazier is still interested when he schedules his visits this fall...
