This is one of those guys that Arizona's brand reputation is on the line for. We need to keep top Arizona talent at Arizona.

It doesn't get more top talent than Koa. Absolute monster. Best player out of this state since Richard Jefferson.

All in, Tommy. Send me the zelle for his NIL bucket.

If you have the time to take in a Perry High School game this year - it's worth the price of admission.

I am only going to speak for myself here.
I am not in the "absolutely" camp, but Lloyd normally does not take the traditional route to land prospects.
Bryant/Phillips fit that role, but neither one was a top 5 prospect.

I HOPE Lloyd is able to get Peat to Arizona.
My question would be what would it take for Lloyd/Arizona to do for Peat to take Arizona seriously?
I could make a very simple argument for every other program on his list to choose over Arizona and it is not hard to do.

Why would It be so easy for him to choose over the home team that, at least from the outside looking in, would be a no brainer ?

Koa peat   can pretty much go anywhere in the country, that he wants it will probably  be tough to get him, I've heard jason scheer  on mike Luke's pod that koe an family are looking for a nice nil  so it may be hard for arizona  to land him in the end.

I believe that is what it would be for us to think, especially with our Arizona shades on.
Here is how I see it:

Arizona - local premier program, new coach, some national buzz
Arkansas - Calipari effect
Baylor - Final Four contender
Duke - It's Duke smdh
Houston - Final Four contender
North Carolina - Final Four contender
Texas - ????

Peat said recently that t. lloyd's said he is his #1 recruit target in the class.

You have to go all out to secure your #1 target.

Unfortunately, and I hope I am wrong on this take, but it will pretty much come down to which School will have the backers to put up a big NIL.

You have to go "all out" and some to secure your #1 target.
Just because he is atop Lloyd's list, I am not sure how hard Lloyd is willing to go to secure him.
I am trying to think about how many elite domestic prospects ended up at Gonzaga?

Holmgren and Suggs were the two best HS prospects.
I am not sure how this is going to play out, but here is to hoping Lloyd is able to pull it off.

My guess is that he will show Arizona some respect by including us in his final cut and then choose between Duke and UNC.

Tom better not drop the ball with Will Riley regardless. He needs to stay involved.
