Wednesday marked practice No. 12 of Arizona's training camp and the energy leave was high for a 9:15 a.m. practice with the Wildcats jumping into 11-on-11 drills with a surprise and that was that freshman Noah Fifita was running with the first-team offense instead of starter Jayden de Laura. Not only was de Laura not going through any drills, but he was also missing from practice along with Jacob Cowing and cornerback Isaiah Rutherford.

For Cowing this marks his third-straight practice that he has been missing from and the second for Rutherford. The university wouldn't provide any update on the players and has simply stated that they are out for "undisclosed" reasons.

Even with guys missing, there were still things to take away from practice and guys like Jamarye Joiner, Gunner Maldonado and Anthony Simpson were making plays. Plus, we were able to see the big boys upfront show off some basketball skills.
