The freshman was cleared to play fully just a week before the Wildcats’ Nov. 1 exhibition game with Western Oregon.
Bruce Pascoe There isn’t an official calculation of whether Kylan Boswell is indeed the youngest player in college basketball — but that may not matter.“When Kylan came and said he was 17, I almost my pants,” the Arizona point guard said after the No. 17-ranked Wildcats beat Southern 95-78 on Friday. Kriisa then looked at the hot microphone before him and put his head down with a smile. “Sorry. Poop. Whatever.

A broken foot in April convinced Boswell to reclassify so he could take advantage of UA’s rehabilitation capabilities but also kept him largely off the court until October. That’s 45 minutes in two games, by a guy who just started playing fully less than a month earlier ... at age 17, having been born on April 18, 2005.
But when the NCAA suspended Ramey for UA’s first three games for playing in a predraft event it did not certify, that sped up the timetable. Ramey’s absence left Kriisa and Boswell as the teams’ only point guards, though Larsson also has experience there. “It’s not that big of an issue,” Boswell said. “I actually was surprised how well my foot did, not hurting and no soreness. Not a big deal for me, really.”
Lloyd said he will let the rotation play out once Ramey returns, saying Ramey has had a strong preseason and will have a “great” season ahead. But Lloyd also said he was “more than comfortable” when Boswell is on the floor.
