Miller is recruiting Jordan Brown 5 Star 6'10 190lb PF
Brown was originally thought to be going to UCLA. Things changed once Shareef O'neal committed as they both play the same position. Brown is now leaning toward the California golden bears as it's said that he wants to stay in Cali. Hopefully Miller can work his magic & get Brown who is actually rated higher than Shareef to come to Arizona. We'll keep you posted.
Hopefully this turns out like it did when TJ Leaf decommitted. We ended up getting Lauri instead.
He will have to weigh his priorities carefully. Both Cal and us can offer him ample playing time but a winning culture and ability to get players to the NBA is owned by Miller hands down.
Personally think that Oniel is way over rated. I think I would totally take Brown over Oniel so ya...totally a TJ Leaf situation. Oniel could have been a real circus of distraction too. How do you coach Shak's son if Shak decides to be an overbearing parent...could see that situation becoming a real nightmare. Couldn't be much worse than the Ball fiasco? Let UCLA deal with it. Not upset at all that they are not coming hear. Williams on the other hand...really like that kid and will be heart broken if he doesn't come.
Also don't know much about Brown but if he is an above average defender...sign me up.

Last I saw and heard, he was all defense.
Shot blocker, rim-runner, simplistic offensive skill set, but that was about a year ago.
I read they were trying to extend his range on the jumper to make him more attractive to NBA scouts.
This COULD end up being Leaf/Markkanen 2.0 but I don't think anyone lost in that situation.
Both got stellar talents, immediate-impact freshmen, and both turned their seasons into 1st round picks.
I guess I don't understand the Leaf/Markkanen comparison. Was UCLA ever in the running for Lauri? And didn't Arizona push Leaf away? Also, lthough I understand the desire to put lipstick on a pig, but it's hard to say we are better off without O'Neal.

The leaf/markkanen thing was different but I guess it's similar in that one player who played the same spot decommitted and we ended up with a better player as a result. UCLA wasn't in the running for lauri or anything, AZ began recruiting lauri while Leaf was committed so he opted out. Leaf was also getting pressured by his AAU coaches to flip to UCLA

Nice post azfreak. Let's see if Miller can work his magic & pull off an epic upgrade in getting Brown instead of Shareef.
Would be funny if Brown came here. Lauri for Leaf, Brown for Oneal. Zona would have gotten the better of fUCLA twice! Bear Down Jordan Brown!
The SMART thing would have been for Alford to try and capitalize and get both Brown AND O'Neal!
Instead he is going to let one walk that he could have had because another wanted to come?
He's not a killer, I would have been trying to convince Brown to still come to UCLA and tell him that he and O'Neal wouldn't play the same position and both could get plenty of minutes while at UCLA.

"I kind of re-opened up and Stanford's gotten involved and also Arizona, too," he said Monday at a practice for this week's McDonald's All-American in Atlanta. "I'm just kind of waiting out the process now to figure things out because most of my time spent up until now was spent getting ready for this."
"Both of those schools were schools that recruited me before," Brown said of the two Pac-12 schools.
"Just kind of waiting on how things go," Brown said of Arizona. "If things get cleared up, then I'm going to think more on it."
Brown talks a bit more about Arizona in a recent interview. Skip to about the 3:25 minute mark
The problem is that most of this won't be settled by the LSP.
So that could turn off some elite prospects with them not getting information on our status while Miller is still recruiting them.
Maybe he wanted to see if Miller would be leaving? I think its a matter of one person pulling the trigger, then the rest will follow. Lets hope at least!

I have been operating under this same assumption. The one thing I hope Miller is reminding them is that Ben Simmons and Markelle Fultz (The last 2 #1 NBA draft picks) played for losing teams that did not play at all in the post season... So who cares about a post-season ban which would probably be the worst case scenario (NCAA might take away future recruiting privileges or future schollies but those would have no effect on Brown or B Will or anyone of em).
The fact is there is not another program on our level who can offer these kids everything we can (amazing facilities, chris rounds, and all the playing time they can handle).
From what I have read, the FBI is nowhere near finished with their investigation. After they conclude theirs the NCAA would then have to begin theirs which could also take quite some time. IF after all that we are hit with probation, any 5 stars or high 4 stars who sign here for next year would probably have long since left for the NBA. If you have confidence in your abilities and believe you can be a one and done, there is no reason NOT to sign a LOI with the U of A for next year anyway.
Might not be a really optimistic way to look at the situation but I think it's realistic.
I had the same thoughts on OND but I don't think we have any sure fire OND available. Injury or PED or grades or whatever could just as easily turn one into two for the borderliners. So many programs using all the ammo they can get to recruit against us and fear is an easy flame to fan. It's one heck sales job Miller has to do.
The good news is that very few programs can say with certainty they won't be caught up so the playing field is a little more level if you can pitch it right. Miller still has a good record for putting players to pro ranks. Plus we have PT to spare.
Interview with Brown sounded like we are a long shot. Miller is really going to work to earn his keep now.
Just my biased opinion, but I think the likelihood of him coming here is actually pretty high. Fortunately for us, he said he's not in any hurry to commit anywhere, which is nice because Brandon Williams is taking his time, understandably, to cover all his bases. If that Brandon Roy hire really does happen, I think Williams would sign up pretty quickly, and then Brown may follow his lead soon thereafter.
If I were Miller, I would telling recruits that aren't projected to be a OND that if we get hit with sanctions they can transfer out and not have to sit out.
No need to let up on recruiting when everyone knows what's going to happen if we get hit.
Continue to swing for the fences Coach!
One recruiting expert has picked Jordan Brown to Arizona

Check out the article on this below

It depends on exactly what Brown wants in his future school.
At Cal, he would be the man from day one AND he would get to stay in California.
At Arizona, he would be a HUGE piece to the puzzle as we continue to prove we are the cream of the crop when it comes to the PAC-12.
At UNC, he would be a big piece to a program recovering from the loss of some very experienced players in the one of the toughest conferences in the country; but it's 2,500 miles from home.
If wants to win, stay close to home AND play a big role, I believe Arizona is the best option for him.
The only other school that could offer more would be Oregon (to me).
They (on paper) are loaded and I expect them to be the favorites to win the PAC as it stands right now along with UCLA.

Quick Update on Brown. I'm told there's 2 teams in the lead to land him and they are Arizona & Cal. North Carolina tried to come in late, but there's no chance he goes to the tar heals. More to come on Brown soon.
Has Jordan even made a visit here yet?

Aww ****!
I remember what happened the last time a recruitment battle came down to Arizona & Cal!
Landing a recruit like Brown that would be at least a two-year player would be huge for Miller to pull off.
He would appear to be a day one starter with Luther or Jeter, to go with OT, that would be a very respectable frontcourt.
The difference from last time clashing with Cal we were going against Mr. Can't-coach-his-team-to-the-NCAA-with-two-McDAA-but-will-sell-them-a-bag-of-goods Cuonzo Martin
Come on down Jordan, the last Jordan post player we had turned out pretty dang good.
I had seen a few videos of Brown before (was never blown away with what i saw) but this one really does a great job of showing why he is so highly regarded. His footwork is unreal. Of course the defense wasn't great but still
Need to get him an visit to Arizona at least
Looks like he has a very smooth game around the basket. He's willing to fake or pivot 2-3 times to create an open shot for himself. He has a very soft touch shot close to the basket. The type of game he's shown playing in the video isn't as intense as it would be playing for Arizona so it's hard to gauge how high his motor can go. There's no defense shown. Put a little more weight on him and he'll be able to maintain solid positioning in college (although it doesn't appear he really plays body to body much). His value would go up a lot if he can spread the defense with an outside shot. It doesn't HAVE to be Ayton range, but Dusan's mid range shot was enough to create space around the basket.

Man, if Miller can land Brown and Williams this would be his most impressive recruiting effort ever. Losing your top recruiter, losing your entire recruiting class in the spring, the slanderous news stories, and he is recruiting with one less assistant than other programs. Even if he isn't able to reel those guys in it will have been a Herculean effort on his part. We're incredibly fortunate to have him here.

I still believe Miller's initial class of 2009 would top it:
You had the #2 overall pick (Williams)
Another 1st round pick (Hill)
Fan favorite and emotional leader (Parrom)
We did have one transfer and a big that never fully developed, but those five guys definitely helped build Arizona into what it is today.
I guess I would have to wait 2-3 years to see the impact this class has before officially making that statement.

I agree Paperbag, it would be short of Miller pulling out a Miracle Class should we get both Williams and Brown. I'm amazed at what he currently has pulled together.

I'm not.
Our name is beginning to hold weight around the country.
We are elite, but we aren't a blueblood.
Our name alone holds weight, along with roughly 10-12 other programs, and only UCLA out West.
Even with the FBI scandal, Miller will still bring in good talent, he's just working harder to find it at the moment (Europe/Kansas).

What does that mean?
Whats the deal with Jordan Brown? I get why Brandon Williams is so late making his decision, having to rethink everything after Schlabach slandered Miller. But why hasn't Brown committed? Does he have issues with his grades? Is he considering playing over seas for a year? It just seems like there is more to it. I dunno, could be wrong. Think going over seas would be a horrible move for the kid, because I see him as at the very least a two year player in college.

I think he was going to commit to UCLA, but then S. Oneal went to UCLA and took his spot basically so now hes figuring it all out again.

The craziest part about it, UCLA may end up without either one!
O'Neal may have trouble getting in, and may end up at Memphis (per another user on this site).
So they lost someone they led for the whole way because they took another PF, and may lose the PF they got?
You talk about f**king up a situation, they must have thought VERY highly of O'Neal to take him and run the risk of losing Brown.
Now, chances are almost absolute that you have to face this kid at least once a year during PAC-12 play..
Ah I see. Makes more sense now.

Yeah and their top three players all declared for the NBA Draft.
The Martin twins and their star G that got hurt late in the year.
It has that Brandon McCoy vibe, go to a mid-major and dominate so you don't hurt your stock.

That's the million dollar question.
All he said (last) was sometime in May.
We're only a week (roughly) in, so we have about three more to go before we start asking that question.
Jordan Brown has already visited Nevada -- twice (both unofficially). Why would he visit a third time -- unless it were to commit? I therefore take his cancellation of this weekend's visit as good news. Hope springs eternal...
Jordan Brown's recruitment just seems like one of the most abnormal ones I've kept track of in a while lol. Thought he wanted to be near home, then Nevada popped into the equation. Of course, Reno and Norcal aren't too far away from each other. Also, he was going to take his last official to a place he had already unofficially visited twice? When he still hasn't been to one of the schools in his final 3(to my knowledge). Just weird. Anyhoo, hope we land this kid! Still think we need a front court player, especially because I still have worries about Luther's foot.
BWill recommitted! Woohoo!
Jordan Brown - You're on the clock. We'd love for you to be next!

As a Roseville native, if he (Brown) wanted to be close to home, he would have committed to Cal.
Yet UCLA was the heavy favorite?
Then O'Neal commits, Brown is looking elsewhere, but still uses that "wants to stay close to home" bit?
If that's the case, it's Cal, but I don't think that's all it is to it.
And Jordan Brown is visiting Nevada after all. Unofficial

Only other ones I'm aware of are Parker Braun and Emmitt Matthews Jr.
Yeah and Parker Braun is nowhere near making any impact next year in D-1 basketball. His presence would probably be most beneficial in practice. Dont even know after 2 or 3 years if he would be an impact player, or even a role player for that matter. Looks like we may be pretty thin in the front court this upcoming season.

I say that's a yes, and he knows how important Brown is to our class. His buddies at Oregon were trying hard to recruit him, so, I'm sure he knows the importance of using his influence to help get the best help around him. It's not a secret that the post is an area of opportunity for us with Ristic & Ayton having left.

One COULD take it as Brown was the one doing the recruiting!
He was recruiting Williams to Arizona, telling him he was going to come to Arizona.
He could have told him he needs a PG to come in with him and he wanted Brandon.
That's one way of taking it ;)
I like that line of reasoning, MySpeed. Makes good sense to me
I'm hearing that we are in Jordan Brown's final 2 and it looks like Brandon Williams signing really did change things for Brown in our favor. The fact that JB hasn't pulled the trigger after 3 unofficials at Nevada is big. Miller is working on bringing him in for his last official visit.
3 Unofficials to Nevada...and hasn't committed. Has close ties to BWill. BWill just committed to UofA. It sounds like...if Brown takes his last official visit to the UofA, he'll sign with the UofA.

I honestly thought that his trip this weekend was to commit, but I also thought it was an official visit.
I am going to hope and say that BW recommitting slammed the brakes on JB's recruitment.
At this point, if Miller is able to get JB on an official visit, I am pushing my chips all in and say we land JB.
Too much time has gone on and Mussellman hasn't landed a commit?
Time for Miller to be great and snag one more and show the country he and Arizona are not to be ****ed with!

I agree. Here are the schools Brown has officially visited:
Louisiana-Lafeyette, St. Johns, Cal, & UCLA. These are all over the map.
Right now we're the only school in Brown's final 3 that he hasn't visited in some capacity. What in the world could be keeping him from using that final official to check out AZ? To me, the fact that we're within a month of his decision and he hasn't visited us, speaks volumes for where we stand. Outside looking in. I mean, it could be a Kobi Simmons situation but those are not too common.
Just got word that Jordan Brown will be taking his final official visit to Arizona this weekend! He is also tentatively planning to announce his school on 5/15/18
Yes!! It's Miller Time now... close the deal Sean!
Great info Wild! I'd bet he'll be visiting/committing to Arizona both in one week. I've got $ 0.12 I put away for a rainy day...but, I'll lay it all on the line if anyone wants some that bet.
I don't think playing close to home is quite as important to Brown as some think. If you look at his official visits, 2 of the 4 are farther away than Tucson. UCLA isn't THAT much closer to him than us. I think Miller has a VERY good chance of landing Brown now that BWill is here and we have room for him to play significant minutes right away assuming he earns it.

Fantastic!
WOW! Lets go!!
Not sure the connection to St Johns
Lafayette is where his dad went.
Close to home did nit mean across the steet so much, but look at most of the places he really considered are at least west and most within driving distance. Not so much Az. But everyone west can get the PAC network and see those games so relatively speaking.
Gotta think Nevada leads going into the visit to Az. Their scholie issue will be a none factor if the players testing make the jump. If not, then Nevada has an issue.
Cal is a joke right now.
Ucla screwed themselves.
I like our position we are in.

Mullin... Golden State great, retains strong ties to the Bay Area (where Brown lives). Pitches himself on being able to develop bigs and connect them to the NBA.
I originally got word from a family member of a player on the team that Brown was going to visit this weekend and now it seems he's going to announce where he's going tomorrow. I'm working on figuring out what exactly is going on with Brown and who he's going to pick.
https://twitter.com/Andrew__Slater/status/994645618839703554
That's crummy that the Cats won't get a visit. Makes our chances seem slim.
If it's not us, and it's probably not, you really have to wonder. Recruitment drags out forever, he has one more official visit to use, we're in his Top 3 and he doesn't even come out here? Hmmm...
To have an OV scheduled, then cancelled, and a commitment coming shortly after?
I mean we have seen stranger things, like the KS commitment out of left field, but this one doesn't seem to have that same feeling.
I'd be joyfully surprised if he picked Arizona, but my money is in Nevada right now..
[hide login=1]Here's a little more info on Brown's visit that was to happen this weekend for PPU members. I got this info from the father of one of the current player on the team. He told me that JB changed his Nevada visit to an unofficial visit, so he could use the last one at Arizona this weekend. He even went as far as saying that once Brown was on the UofA campus he thought he would become a Wildcat.
Obviously things changed. There's still a chance that Brown could possibly commit to the Wildcats tomorrow without taking a visit. Brown's family is going go over his decision tonight before announcing tomorrow per his father, so I wouldn't be surprised if they change their minds on things. We'll keep you posted on anything we hear leading up to Brown's announcement. [/hide]
Thanks for the info, WILD!
Either
A) He is pulling a Kobi Simmons. *fingers crossed*
B) He never truly considered AZ, just added us for name recognition
C) Stanford admissions called with good news within the past day or two
D) Parents pushed decision to Nevada/Cal
Brown commits to Nevada. Turns out Brown's dad didn't like flying, so Arizona name was just being used and it was Nevada all along. Brown's dad seems to be a Lavar Ball 2.0. He controls everything Jordan does & he really had little say on where he was going.

Good luck to the kid. I hope he helps Nevada crush it next year, maybe Miller has a European rabbit to pull out of his hat?
Call Lauri. See if he has any friends.
Our roster is pretty much set. How many Five and Four stars? The roster doesn't look bad at all. Time for the Sophomores to step up and develop in the off season. Remember, this was supposed to be Akot's freshman year.
Well did what he could.
I can't be mad at him for that.
Daddy shut everything down, because it seems as if Jordan wanted to come to Arizona.
Daddy shut down the visit because HE doesn't want to fly?
You'll have four games (Cal/Stanford/USC/UCLA) to see him play live.
Oh well..

Guess he's not going pro unless he can get drafted by Golden State, or Reno sprouts a pro team. We are much better off not having a Ball 2.0 dad messing with the program.

Nevada should be good enough to start the season for him to get enough buzz.
If all three of their stars return, they should be a top 10 team and we know how much juice a mid-major team gets in the preseason top 10.
About the Ball 2.0 reference, I don't think Miller would have let any of that **** fly.
He doesn't seem like the kind of coach that would let someone outside the program dictate how it will be run from the inside.

If all three come back, they will have 15 scholarship players
We will move on. We only want players who want to be CATS and rep Zona! Getting excited about next years squad. Much potential. GO CATS!!!!

Musselman cashing in on his mediocre coaching. Gotta think Brown transfers.
Should Miller take a second shot at him? Would he fit in at this point?

After seeing him play, I'm going to say Miller would pass.
Nnaji is basically a better offensive version of Brown.
Then again, Miller could throw out a feeler and see what's up, especially if Brown wouldn't have to redshirt.
