November 6, 200817 yr 6'10" stud freshman C Jeff Withey has his request to be released from Arizona denied by the AD. “My very simple reason is I firmly believe, as the letter of intent states, that he needs to stay a full academic year,” Livengood said to the Arizona Daily Star. “At the end of [the year] — as I told him last night — I would gladly release him if he wanted.”
