Arizona's Allonzo Trier misses media day; Miller won't comment on status
Arizona guard Allonzo Trier was supposed to be the Wildcats' player representative at Pac-12 Media Day on Friday, but was subbed out at the last minute with questions surrounding his eligibility for this upcoming season.
No surprise: Sean Miller says he's "not gonna comment" on why Allonzo Trier was subbed out of Pac-12 media day nor on his eligibility status

The fact that Trier isn't going when he was scheduled to for months, plus UA's silence on the matter, may say something ...

Trier participated in the Wildcats' annual Red-Blue game on Oct. 14, but Miller hasn't offered any updates on the sophomore's chances to be eligible this season.
"I can't really respond," Miller told Bruce Pascoe of the Arizona Daily Star at the intersquad game. "I think you're talking about the rumors that are out there. I can't respond to that."
The sophomore averaged 14.8 points and 3.3 rebounds in 28 minutes last season for Arizona. The five-star player was ranked as the 18th best recruit coming out of high school, and opted to return to Arizona after his freshman season instead of declaring for the NBA draft.
Senior Kadeem Allen replaced Trier at media day.
