Jamari Phillips, a four-star shooting guard in the class of 2024, has committed to Arizona
The 6-foot-2 prospect out of Modesto (Calif.) Christian chose the Wildcats over offers from UCLA, USC, Kansas, Illinois, Oregon, Kansas State, and others.
Phillips is the first prospect to commit to Tommy Lloyd in the class of 2024. He ranks as the No. 27 overall prospect in the On3 Consensus — the average ranking from all four major recruiting media companies (ESPN, 247Sports, Rivals, On3
Phillips on his commitment to Arizona
Phillips is only halfway through his junior year of high school but while on an official visit over the weekend in Tucson, he decided to make the early pledge to the Wildcats.
"I chose Arizona because they fit me and I fit them," Phillips said. "I believe in the coaching staff and they believe in me. I can see myself going there and being really successful in that program. I know it's going to feel like home.
"When it's my time to come in, I'm going to make the best of it and really go after it."
Jamari Phillips has a message for Arizona fans.
"I'm coming to turn up the city!"

Phillips Highlights
Great commitment!! I think he'll flourish in Lloyds system. Hopefully his team mate Bryant follows shit!
Great start to the '24 class. He should earn plenty of minutes upon Pelle's departure.
Bryant needs to come with him...He's gonna fit nicely in the program!!
Welcome to the Wildcat Nation !!
BTFD !
The Derrick Williams of the Tommy Lloyd era. Signalling to other elite talent that this is the program to be at.
Welcome to the best basketball program in the country!

It isn't that many bodies to add to the lists (Darlan and Phillips commitment)
Lloyd does not recruit the same way that Miller did.
We all knew when Miller would reach out to a prospect.
It is like Lloyd casts a much smaller net, and locks in on those few, as opposed to Miller going after 20-25 prospects in a class.
Very interesting, and I look forward to seeing how that works for Lloyd and Arizona.

The growth of the annual transfer portal has also changed the landscape of recruiting. If you miss out on a few of your 5 targeted prospects, it's easier to bring in temporary veteran talent to provide roster depth.
Also, we don't have players transferring OUT of the program at a record pace. The players seem to enjoy playing for Lloyd and there's nice chemistry within the locker room.
Ramey, Tubelis and Henderson are the only 3 that are locks to leave this season. There's a chance that Ballo tests the water and Bal could be a transfer candidate but our staff doesn't have to run out and recruit 5-6 players in each class because Arizona Basketball is finally settling into a consistent place.

Not commit to Arizona, but committed period.
He committed to play for the G-League Ignite.
My point was (and is) that Lloyd (1) does not recruit as many people per class, and (2) with some of them being international, we don't get the word until the spring/summer time.
