Barring any setbacks in practice the next two days, Rawle Alkins will debut for the Arizona Wildcats on Saturday vs. the Alabama Crimson Tide, head coach Sean Miller announced Thursday.
Alkins will come off the bench if he plays, Miller said. The sophomore will likely have a limited workload.
Alkins broke his foot in late September which required an eight-to-12 week recovery. Alkins, in his 11th week of his recovery, was recently cleared for full contact and has practiced three times at full speed, Miller said Thursday.
The well-rounded wing is expected to help Arizona in several ways, from shooting and distributing to rebounding and defending.
