Not that Miller should be chasing after stars (rankings), but there are A LOT of highly-rated talent out West in 2019.
I know ESPN isn't the best outlet to use, but here are some of the current ESPN Super 60 prospects (HS Juniors):

SG - Cassius Stanley (CA) - #11
PF - Onyeka Okongwu (CA) - #16
PF - Carl Lewis (CA) - #36
PF - Issac Johnson (UT) - #41
PF - Isaiah Mobley (CA) - #44
SG - PJ Fuller (WA) - #45
SG - Jaime Jaquez II (CA) - #48

The only one that I would immediately cross off the list would be Mobley.
His father just got hired by Enfield at USC, so you know where he and his younger brother (2020) will be playing.
I have heard/read rumors that Stanley (Oregon) and Okongwu (USC) are locked in to their respective schools at the moment.
The easy assumption would be to assume Johnson goes to BYU or Utah.

If all of those hold true, that would mean we would be competing for the services of Lewis/Fuller/Jaquez II.
Hmm..

With a handful of offers in 2019 going out, I will be updated this list soon.
All scholarships that I know of will be added, as well as those in other threads.
I was thinking of updating the list as prospects commit to see where they end up, and who we get.

SG - PJ Fuller (WA) - #45
SG - Jaime Jaquez II (CA) - UCLA

Almost one month after I post this, three of these top 50 prospects have already committed.
Not that a verbal means much, but it is saying something to this point in the calendar year for them to be off the board.
The two USC commits are locks as long as Mobley stays, but many factors will go into their commitments, as well as their possible decommitments.
Only time will tell but Miller clearly has been attacking this class viciously..

Who do you guys think will be our first commit of 2019?  Im thinking maybe Koloko or Jaden Mcdaniels.  Know Edward Turner really wants to go to Arizona to follow in his Dad's footsteps but he doesn't have an offer yet.  Really don't think we need anymore guards ATM unless its Cassius Stanley.  Dont see any of our current guards declaring for the draft at the end of 2018-19 season(could be wrong obviously if someone makes a big jump).  Think it'll just push our established guys to transfer.  Need to land some power forwards and centers!!

I think Miller knows we need F/C, and with that, I am going to say Deng or McDaniels.
I would prefer McDaniels, but I could easily Miller taking both in this class.

As far as guards, I think we would take any of the higher ranked G; Stanley, Mannion too if this reclassification rumor has real legs to it, maybe even Fuller too.
We will only lose one G after 2019, so I hope we don't end up loading up on Gs..

Some of sean Miller's offers are interesting because he seems to recruiting a lot of wings an we're loaded at those positions with nobody graduating wonder if he expects some leaving early it see like we will need  at least  to big guys an another point guard maybe two if brandan leaves early.

This is the class where you really see Miller going for that "position-less" basketball.
A lot of those offers are to long,athletic prospects that would be able to guard and play multiple positions and get up and down the floor.

Some proof is Miller offering at least three G prospects that at least 6'7.
With height like that, you can throw 2-3 of them out there with a Williams at PG and Jeter at C and just go.
Better yet, look at the Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets & Boston Celtics, that is how Miller is trying to rebuild our roster.

I really like Balsa Koprivica.  I'm sure we'd be getting in late with him, but he reminds me a lot of the past centers we have had great success with.  If we are going with a position-less style of ball, Jaden Mcdaniels is a great combo forward.  Can't wait to see how our 2019 class develops!  Just like this year's class, we just need that first commitment to get things rolling. 
Title: Re: 2019 Recruiting List

It seemed like we were recruiting him until his name came up in investigation  meaning balsa.

I don't have the time, energy, or the knowledge to evaluate the recruiting for 2019, 2020, or any other year.  I don't know who's the best of these players and who's after them.  The one thing I have noticed though is that Coach Miller seems to be on a "Recruiting Bender".  It's like he's going all out on recruiting since the big "They did this...but there's no proof" Stuff. 

Makes me wonder...could this have been the shove he needed to get "Over The Hump" and get to the Final Four and beyond.

Adversity often brings out the best in us. Let's hope that this is the push he needed.

Most of these aren't on the top 25 of the 2019 class, but I'm beginning to believe Miller is redefining what he wants in our prospects that aren't the sure fire 5* prospects.

I'd like to see us throw out a crazy Golden State like lineup with one PG, one big and three wings to be able to be able to maximize our production on offense.
I'm eager to see how this new "guard oriented offense" looks next season..

Agreed, and I believe that 2015 & 2016 run we started had Miller intentionally or unintentionally searching for star ratings.

#1 overall prospect in 2017
4 5* prospects
10 HS prospects top 10 of their position
All HS in the top 15 of their position (except Barcelona)
All HS prospects 4* or better

It can be easy to get caught up in that success.
I'd rather Miller take more of a Villanova approach and recruit "Arizona" players.
That way when they get that offer, they know it's not just a feeler, but we want you because we see something in you that would fit here at Arizona.

It could get to you

With the recent news of Nico Mannion reclassifying to 2019, I decided to remove him from the 2020 class and add him to 2019.

With Mannion likely being a lock and taking a scholarship, and assuming there are no early departures or transfers, UA will have 3 other scholarships to hand out. Who do you think are the priority targets? Based on position needs, ranking, and odds of landing the recruit, I'm thinking:
May be too much to hope for, but that would be an amazing class.
Title: Re: 2019 Recruiting List
Post by: Jdmarti on June 30, 2018, 05:10:18 PM
Those 3 guys you have on there would be perfect a center forward an guard forward
Title: Re: 2019 Recruiting List
Post by: Jdmarti on June 30, 2018, 05:14:47 PM
I would not be surprised though if there some players that leave early for draft thinking of akot randolph willams.
Title: Re: 2019 Recruiting List
Post by: Jdmarti on June 30, 2018, 05:19:27 PM
Also thinking I heard on radio show that sean Miller was really interested in bo.ellis who is another pg. That he wanted nico an him so that got me thinking maybe he expects b.willams to leave early.
Title: Re: 2019 Recruiting List

There are a handful of prospects I wouldn't mind getting.
The problem for me is I don't know how this new offensive scheme is going to look to try and find the right prospects that would fit.
But I wouldn't mind any of these prospects:

Green
Hurt
Koloko
McDaniels
Stanley
Williams
Withers

Post by: mvpreed2 on August 03, 2018, 03:22:48 AM
Just had a talk with my NCAAF family (USC) and someone asked about Mannion and why they weren't going after him.
The overwhelming reaction from those ITK were that he's locked in to Arizona.
Then another credible poster follows that by saying if we land Mannion, it will all but close the deal to land Green also.

Nothing that hasn't been mentioned here before, but it was interesting to hear/read it coming from someone that isn't invested into the Arizona family like most of us are.
Take that fwiw..

Just a transfer deciding to enroll early/late (depending on your preference)

Currently, the 2 man class of Nico Mannion & Christian Koloko give Arizona the No. 14 class in 2019. Arizona will most definitely be in the top 10 recruiting rankings when it's all said & done.

Both Wisemann and Walker have cut Arizona from their respective list of schools; Wisemann to 5, and Walker to 3.

Both have each landed two ESPNU prospects that we have offered.

Great list mvpreed.  Thanks for putting it together sir!  I wonder where we stand with Khalid Thomas and/or Vrenz Bleijenbergh?  I still believe we need a big man to finish off this class, as Koloko is still so so so raw.  Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like we have gained much ground with Nnaji or Timme(I could be wrong), so we may need to go after one of those two.

I've been wondering that as well, between those two, and add in Turner.
I think Thomas would another combo forward and not what we need in this class.
I'm guessing Miller would add another grad-transfer C and hope to get Koloko ready and snag another HS prospect at C.

I'm hearing the 2020 class is weak for C, but Miller still needs to shoot his shot.

Yea, the 2020 class is one of the main reasons I have been so adamant about needing to land another big man in the 19 class.  There is very little size throughout the class and even less on the west coast.  Granted, some kids may continue to grow but even still, 6'10"+ guys will be relatively rare and therefor highly recruited.
Thanks for the update azfreak.  I guess that's another kid off the table.

I would even go as far to say I wouldn't mind Miller taking on another project that wouldn't be ready in 2020 to give more reps to Koloko, but it is still early and I'm wondering how this new offense would look with a big that has been as talented as others like a Tarczewski/Jarrett/Ashley or Ayton.
Good thing we will have Jeter/Lee next season to give Koloko a year to redshirt because we are going to need him in 2020 as it stands right now.

We currently have 12 scholarships tied up for 2018-19 season:

Seniors (2): Coleman/Luther
Juniors (4): DesJardins/Gettings/Jeter/Smith
Sophomores (4): Akot/Barcello/Lee/Randolph
Freshmen (2): Doutrive/Williams

This leaves us at ONE scholarship right now, the one that Thielemans vacated with the transfer.
Three will come off the books after this season (Coleman/DesJardins/Luther), which leaves us withFOUR scholarships.

So to answer your question, we would need at least ONE body to leave via transfer, grad-transfer or NBA to accomodate all five of our 2019 recruiting class and add another body for any other scholarship given that would be coming in 2019.

DesJardins is year to year. That us one.
Smith and Jeter will both Grad and have the option to transfer. Is Smith gets burried later this year(if Williams plays to potential), he would be a candidate.
We can take a wait and see but for now we are covered. If we were to gain a big guy things will work out.

Jeter isn't going anywhere, Miller knows he is going to need him next season, and that is me talking with my player/coach hat on.
Jeter is the backbone of our defensive unit and with five new bodies expected to be added to next season, Jeter is going to be one of the ones that Miller is going to lean on and expect to play big.

I have said before that I believe Smith is going to be a grad-transfer.
Too many bodies coming in next season and I believe AT LEAST two of them are going to be penciled in front of him, not including Williams and/or Randolph should they both decide to return.

Williams (NBA)
Randolph (NBA)
Smith (grad-transfer)
Barcello (transfer)

There is another name I have on my list, but I am afraid to even say it because I REALLY like him and hope he stays, but I could make an argument that he would be another candidate as well.

Hope we can keep Doutrive.  The kid is special and should be playing over Justin "I left my talent in Maui" Coleman. 
Well thanks for the breakdown, that clears things up.  So, we are all good with scholarships.  Now we just gotta get through this year with our pride intact ahaha. 
And yea, I dont see why Jeter would transfer.  And he certainly wouldn't draw interest from the NBA, yet, unless he has a secret jumpshot we don't know about.  He will be surrounded by talent next year.  Probably no better situation he could join anywhere else.

Jeter isn't thinking about transferring. He's considering starting his pro career early.

Anyone that doesn't believe Jeter is going anywhere hasn't listened to the words coming out of his own mouth. To think you know what he's gonna do better then he knows is just plain dumb. No offense.

Unfortunate that is what he is thinking.  Would be a huge mistake but I guess he wouldn't be the first.

FYI Chase Jeter has graduated already

Post by: dashots_UA on January 05, 2019, 05:12:52 PM
I assumed he was close to that achievement.  Didn't know he already had.  Congrats to him! It's so rare for these kids to actually graduate anymore.

The real issue is how can Jeter improve his stock the most? By making a jump this year, or by returning for another year here, or finding another school to play his final year?
Making the jump? He has really started to blossom and is showing some of his potential he had coming out of HS. Has he shown enough, or will he by the end of the season to get him where he wants to be? Also, he seems to be enjoying his time here unlike at Duke and may just want to stay to work on his game some more.
Staying another year? There won't likely be a threat of another player taking his spot, but looking at his improvement to this point shows marked improvement in multiple areas. Again, if he is enjoying his time here and improving as well, he may choose to stay either way.
Finding another school? I just don't see where that benefits him. He thought Duke, tried Duke, and left Duke. Found success here and seems to like it here and is showing marked improvement here. Why take a chance on another school and find out he does not fit?
My thoughts? If he really believes he will go first round then he will go, otherwise I see him returning next year. Winner here? Both parties, Jeter and Arizona!

This seems to be the most logical post so I would like to spring board off of this one.

Jeter leaving now wouldn't do much for his stock, he has shown some of his abilities, but this team is not good and he hasn't been able to show his best games on the big stage.
I believe he would get an offer somewhere overseas, and maybe a two-way deal from the NBA.

I believe returning to Arizona is the best bet for everyone involved.
His spot is locked and he is going to play as many minutes as he can handle.
He is going to be playing on a better team, with MUCH more NBA talent (Mannion/Green/Nnaji) and the return of one or both of Williams and Randolph will have more scouts at our games.
It could simply be playing on a better team to boost his stock.

Leaving Arizona could work for him if he landed at a program that was better than Arizona.
Reid Travis is an excellent example of the point I am trying to make.
Even if he put up the same stats, doing it at Kentucky compared to Stanford I think would do a lot more good to his stock than bad.
There won't be many teams better than us (on paper) next season so if college is the route, he might as well stay here.

I think jeter needs to be able to hit 15 ft jump shot would help his stock consistently.

Agreed...and unrolling his shorts might elevate him a couple of draft spots too.

Has there been any news/update on the 6'10 kid from Belgium, Vrenz?
I know we need a big, he would be a stretch big, but you can't teach height.
It making me believe he's not "Arizona-good" and that's why we are holding off.
There is still an entire spring/summer for dominoes to fall though..

Does it surprise anyone that three top 25 prospects with an offer from Arizona remain uncommitted?
I don't say that to say we have a chance, but all three have been heavily rumored to the same schools for months.
McDaniels (SDSU), Hurt (Kansas) and Stanley (Oregon), I wonder what's the hold up for pulling the trigger?
Maybe waiting until the transfer/coaching sweepstakes?
I wish we still had a shot at McDaniels though, we could really use him next season.

Are you sure? I don't know if you're confusing HS kid Jaden McDaniels with his older brother, SDSU player Jalen McDaniels.
If it's not a mistake, can you post a link?

UPDATE

ESPNU 100 (#10) F Matthew Hurt has committed to Duke
This is Duke's 3rd 5* prospect, joining Carey Jr (#5) and Moore (#20)
This is their 4th commitment, all from ESPNU 100 prospects.

Jaden McDaniels is still the top uncommitted ESPNU 100 prospect

Maybe you should have mentioned that post instead of making the statement directly after me talking about Duke.

Last I checked, McDaniels hasn't committed, but I don't mind being wrong about any of them.
I made a guess, and it was wrong, and it won't be the last time.
Thank for that though.

You are really stupid.
Then why don't you help me instead of using your internet fingers to talk trash and put down someone?

I'm talking about Hurt committing to Duke, what makes you or anyone else think I'd remember something I posted 2-3 weeks ago?
So enlighten me, why am I the stupid one here?

UPDATE
The biggest domino now has fallen!
As WILD has posted in the PAC-12 forum, McDaniels, the #5 prospect in the 2019 class has committed to Washington.

Washington now has two 5* prospects in 2019 (McDaniels/Stewart) and a former 5* prospect in Kentucky transfer Quade Green.
