The Star's longtime columnist on players who left the UA; the son of a Sun Devil who picked the Wildcats; and why this year's Maui Invitational might be the toughest tournament that Arizona has ever played in.
Softball stars join list of accomplished players to leave UAIt almost seemed cruel last week when UCLA gleefully posted social media images of Arizona All-Pac-12 softball players Sharlize Palacios and Janelle Meoño — the heart and soul of Caitlin Lowe’s UA program — modeling Bruins gear.
I don’t know if Palacios is the most significant Wildcat athlete to transfer in mid-career, but she’s close to the top. Here’s my list: • Shelby Pendley, softball. Hitting .331 with 19 homers as Arizona’s freshman shortstop in 2012, Pendley then transferred to Oklahoma, where she became a first-team All-American in 2014 and 2015.
Son of ex-ASU star Haynes joins WildcatsIt’s hard to imagine a stronger representative of ASU football than 1974 and 1975 All-American defensive back Mike Haynes, who was one of the leading players of the Frank Kush years and in ASU history. At 6 feet 4 inches and 200 pounds, the former high school sprinter appears to have the measurables to someday climb the depth chart and get on the field for Arizona.
CDO grad shines at WorldsAt the recently completed World Track and Field Championships in Oregon, Canyon del Oro High School grad Jaide Stepter Baynes was part of the USA’s gold-medal winning 4x400 relay team. Baynes was a multiple state champ at CDO in 2015 and 2016 before accepting a scholarship to USC. She became a nine-time All-American for the Trojans and team captain.
