Updated to include bio on Joshua Mason who now wears 83.

83 is an open roster spot and I would normally fill it with an incoming receiver or one of the new coaches, but I am convinced that the spot is already filled. During the open practice in March, 83 was worn by a thin, under 6 feet receiver, with long curly hair, good speed, and real good hands. He stood out to me as one of the better receivers during the drill portion, but was not on the online roster or the roster provided at the stadium. Also, 83 did not participate in the scrimmage portion of the practice.

So, since it is my countdown and I can do what I want, I am going to leave 83 open and wait for this mystery receiver with long hair to be added to the roster and given a name. Matty D and his new staff may be more active on the recruiting trail, but they are slacking off on the roster updates. Come on man, there are 83 days until the first game and the roster still doesn't include 2015 updates!

83% was our red zone scoring efficiency last year. On 65 trips to the red zone, Arizona scored 54 times. Including these 2 against Nevada:

Mason is a 5'11", 170, Freshman receiver from San Diego HS, San Diego, CA. Last year he had 37 catches for 627 yards with 6 TDs and 15 carries for 120 yards and 1 TD. His hair was not long enough in high school to be the mystery receiver with long hair, but he was given his number on 4 Aug.
