Arizona incoming freshman Emmanuel Negedu will not be a Wildcat next season. In a meeting with coach Lute Olson on Sunday morning in the Boston area, Negedu, an athletic 6-foot-7 forward, asked for his release from his letter of intent. Negedu said Olson tried to convince Negedu to come to Tucson for another visit to be reassured he'd be fine at UA, but Negedu, who played at Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, N.H., said he had been deciding on the move for at least three months. If he's granted a release, he'll look to sign with another school immediately. Negedu said his feelings changed for Arizona when he made a visit in February for UA's game with Arizona State. "Before I signed with Arizona they said it was fun, the players loved it and everything," he said. "But when I took my official visit no one seemed happy. Everything changed. Lute Olson left, taking a break. No one (knew) where he went."
