Before Arizona gymnastics coachÌýTabitha YimÌýleft Tucson last week to become the head coach of her alma mater, Stanford, she offeredÌýGabby Bouza-LazoÌýa spot on the UA roster. Arizona State, Iowa and Oklahoma offered scholarships.
But Bouza-Lazo, who lives in Rio Rico and commuted to Tucson’s Arizona Dynamics gym five days a week, instead accepted a scholarship to Boise State, which finished the 2017 season ranked No. 13 in the NCAA.
The Arizona Dynamics gymnasium, coached byÌýGina Mueller-Martin, might be the hot bed of recruiting in Tucson, any sport. Of those currently training under Mueller-Martin, seven are considered to be Division I-level recruits. Michigan has already got a commitment fromÌýMadison Mariani, a senior at Sabino High School; before Yim left for Stanford, she got a commitment fromÌýMadison Courney, a sophomore at Mountain View.
³§´Ç±è³ó´Ç³¾´Ç°ù±ð²õÌýHalli MayberryÌýof Canyon del Oro andÌýKiersten BelkoffÌýof Catalina Foothills are also Pac-12-level recruits; Belkoff’s sister,ÌýCorinne, has been a two-year regular at Arizona State.
But few have more compelling back-stories than Bouza-Lazo, who was so coachable that Mueller-Martin says “she’s a wonderful young lady; I miss her daily.â€
“I chose Boise State because it offered a pre-dentistry major and the other schools who recruited me did not,†Bouza-Lazo says.
Bouza-Lazo was born in Cuba, the daughter of a neurosurgeon who fled Cuba when Gabby was 4. Gabby, her mother and younger brother were not allowed to leave Cuba for 3½ years.
“My dad took his case to the United Nations and at that time Cuba kicked us out of the country,†Bouza-Lazo remembers. “We were political refugees, but ultimately my mother became an American citizen. We lived in Southern California. Then we moved to the Rio Rico area so my father could visit us more conveniently. Because he got his medical degree in Cuba, he is only allowed to practice medicine in Spanish-speaking countries. He drives to be with us almost every weekend, eight or nine hours each way. In the summer we’ll be together for an entire month.â€
Mueller-Martin was impressed not just by Bouza-Lazo’s gymnastics ability, but by her commitment to drive about 150 miles, round trip per day, to train at the Arizona Dynamics facility.
“I could barely speak English when I started training in Tucson,†Bouza-Lazo says. “I had to do it day by day, word by word. It took me about a year to become fluent. In eight months all I did was academics and gymnastics. With my drive to Tucson, I didn’t have time for much of a social life.â€
Bouza-Lazo moved to Idaho last weekend to begin her fall semester at Boise State, a team that was ranked as high as No. 7 nationally last season.

Clint MyersÌý²õ³Ü³¦³¦±ð±ð»å±ð»åÌýMike CandreaÌýas Central Arizona College’s softball coach in 1987. He went 429-102 at CAC and almost made them forget Candrea.
When Arizona State hired Myers, he immediately became one of the best in the game. He led the Sun Devils to 2008 and 2011 NCAA championships and was the first to establish the UA-ASU softball series as a “can’t miss†weekend.
But Myers left for Auburn four years ago and ASU went flat, finishing 42-50-1 in the Pac-12 under three head coaches. Myers, 65, last week announced he is retiring. Saturday, an ESPN report detailed a toxic culture centered around Myers and his sonÌýCorey, a former Tigers assistant.
Arizona has benefited from the chaos. Within 24 hours of Myers’ retirement, Chandler Hamilton High School outfielderÌýAli Ashner, who hit .455 for the two-time state champions last spring, backed off of her commitment to play at Auburn and committed to play at Arizona.
How good is Ashner? She went 4 for 4 with three doubles in the state playoffs against a 29-6 Tucson High team in May, and was one of the leaders of a team that has produced eight Division I recruits the last two seasons.
Recruiting is the most unpredictable variable in college sports.ÌýBrooke Hill, daughter of Arizona’s 1996 NCAA Player of the YearÌýJenny Dalton Hill, hit .483 for Louisville’s Dunbar High School last season. She has committed to play at BYU. Brooke’s father,ÌýMarc Hill, who formerly worked in the UA athletic department, is now the senior executive athletic director at Kentucky.
You never know.

Few Tucsonans are enjoying the summer more than Pueblo High School and UA gradÌýFrancisco Romero, who is the Spanish-language play-by-play voice of the American League West-leading Houston Astros. Romero last week was selected to the Pueblo Warrior Foundation Hall of Fame, Class of 2017. The 1987 Pueblo grad, who has been the Spanish play-by-play man of Arizona football and basketball for 10 seasons, is in his ninth year with the Astros. He previously worked for the Diamondbacks, Brewers and Twins. Romero grew up in Nogales, Sonora, listening to the Dodgers’ Spanish radio broadcasts before moving to Tucson when he was 12. He will be honored Nov. 5.Ìý

Desert Christian High School gradÌýZach Malis, a starting third baseman at Grand Canyon University, also had a breakout summer. Malis, who led DCHS to three state championships, hit .305 for the Waterloo Bucks of the Northwoods League, driving in 41 runs in 69Ìýgames.Ìý

After watching both of Arizona’s basketball exhibition games in Spain I came away impressed with two things. One, freshman guardÌýAlex BarcelloÌýis a gamer. If he stays at Arizona through 2021, everyone in the league will feel his impact. Two,ÌýRawle AlkinsÌýwithdrew from the NBA draft for several reasons, but one that spun his decision was the division of weights and measures. His body fat was too high; NBA personnel people suggested he change his body, much the same wayÌýSolomonÌýHillÌýdid four years earlier. I don’t know how much weight Alkins lost, but he looks like he spent the summer in yoga, or crossfit or tipping over those huge truck tires. Alkins comes off as a basketball missile headed for someone’s launching pad.

A standout safety at Salpointe Catholic High School from 2006-10,ÌýChase GallagherÌýwent on to be the 2015 male athlete of the year at Broaddus University in West Virginia. He then coached two seasons of football at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy and has been hired on the staff of Coastal Carolina. A week ago, Gallagher and Coastal Carolina offered a scholarship to Salpointe sophomore running backÌýBijan Robinson, who already has offers from Arizona, Washington and Arizona State, among others. But it’s worth a shot, right? And it shows that Gallagher has some big goals in his coaching career.Ìý

When Pima College women’s basketball coachÌýTodd HolthausÌýbegan unofficial preseason drills recently, he surely missed two-time first-team NJCAA All-America point guardÌýSydni Stallworth. But Holthaus surely left the Pima campus with a smile: Freshman point guardÌýJJ NakaiÌýof Flagstaff’s Coconino High School made an immediate impact, a point guard with a motor who plays the same way Stallworth played: full speed ahead. Nakai led Coconino to a 27-5 record with 7.1 assists and 23 points per game. She made 72 3-pointers for the state semifinalist.

UA baseball coachÌýJay JohnsonÌýappears to be in the process of putting together a 2018 recruiting class that will rank with the nation’s best. The latest commitment isÌýMatt Dyer, a 6-foot-4-inch catcher who started 41 games for the Oregon Ducks as a freshman last season. Dyer, who was an all-state catcher at Glendale’s Mountain Ridge High School, will transfer to Arizona and be eligible in 2019.

It wasn’t a banner year on the PGA Tour for UA and Tucson-connected pro golfersÌýMichael ThompsonÌýandÌýRicky Barnes. Both challenged for the ongoing FedEx Cup playoffs but just missed. Barnes was 139th overall and Thompson No. 148; the top 125 qualified. Barnes earned $697,000 and Thompson $568,000 in official PGA Tour earnings.Ìý

Sabino gradÌýJ.J. HardyÌýhas missed two months of Baltimore Orioles action, sidelined with a wrist injury. He is now playing shortstop at Triple-A Norfolk in a rehab assignment. His September return to Baltimore will have significant bearing: the O’s must decide whether to pick up Hardy’s $18 million option for 2018, or pay him $2 million and let him walk.

It would be a wonderful story if Arizona’s interim gymnastics coachÌýJohn CourtÌýis hired full-time after the 2017-18 season.

Only softball’sÌýMike Candrea, track’sÌýFred HarveyÌýand volleyball’sÌýDave RubioÌýhave been on the coaching payroll longer. Court has head coaching experience: He was the top coach at Vermont for three seasons in the early 1990s.

Tucson went 15 years without a college football bowl game and is working on eight years without spring training baseball.
The Milwaukee Brewers are looking for someone to pay them zillions for a spring training home, and Pima County has made preliminary contact, offering the dated Kino Sports Complex, but I’ll be batting cleanup for the Yankees before that ever happens.
There will be no spring training baseball in Tucson unless a new facility is built to please at least two teams, and that would cost in excess of $100 million.
Beyond that, it might be more difficult to find two teams willing to move to Tucson than to come up with the money and facilities.
In contrast, the Nova Home Loans Arizona Bowl recently moved into a new headquarters downtown, and last week donated $200,000 to local charities. It has joined forces with CBS Sports Network for a Dec. 29 afternoon game. Talk about trending up.
The key to these sports enterprises is the force of personality and drive to get it done. That’s howÌýRoy DrachmanÌýandÌýBurt KinerkÌýandÌýGreg FosterÌýand the Tucson Conquistadores, among others, made it possible for spring training, the PGA Tour, FC Tucson and the Copper Bowl to make Tucson home.
The Arizona Bowl works because Tucson attorneyÌýAli FarhangÌýand mortgage kingpinÌýJon VolpeÌýhave put the time, money and vision required to get it done.
Anything short of that will keep spring training out of Tucson for decades.
