Arizona is not doing 'wrong here -- Coach Sean Miller is simply covering his bets.

When Sacramento guard Josiah Turner announced last month he would play basketball for the Arizona Wildcats, coach Sean Miller suddenly had his highest-ranked recruit yet and a top-10 recruiting class for 2011.

Now Miller just has to figure out where to put everybody.

On paper for 2011-12, the Wildcats have 14 scholarship players but only 12 scholarships to offer. This season, they have 13 players on scholarship (counting guard Dondre Wise, whose conditional scholarship is not likely to be renewed) and are only certain to lose senior Jamelle Horne.

Arizona also has three commitments from high school seniors for 2011-12 — from Turner, guard Nick Johnson and forward Sidiki Johnson — and the Wildcats can offer only 12 total scholarships in 2011-12 and 2012-13 because of NCAA sanctions.

That makes the math 13 minus 2 (Horne, Wise) plus 3 (recruits) equals 14. Not 12...
