Arizona offers Kai Jones 6'11 4-Star C originally from Bahamas. Word is that he may reclassify to 2018.

One highlight from one game can be very misleading, but I enjoyed seeing him contest EVERY shot that was inside the paint.
The reclassification is what I would be pulling for, assuming he would commit to Arizona.
We still have an open spot at a position of need and I would assume he would play.

Here's some more highlights. He's 17 and needs to add some size, so may not be a huge producer if he reclassifies. But he would certainly help at a position that could use it.

Love that energy and seems to take great pride in the "no easy buckets" mentality.  Bring him in, get Chris Rounds on him for a year or two and we could have a force in the paint.

I would almost be willing to see how he does with a summer of Rounds and how much weight he is able to put on his frame.

Seems awfully thin but Rounds has a way of adding bulk to our guys. Love that he has some dog in him tok

I would love it if we get get one more competent big man.  I think that's just what this team is missing going in to next season.

Love his motor.  Definitely needs to put on muscle, but that's usually the case with most HS centers.  Could use another big man for sure, even if he doesn't play huge minutes, having another guy over 6'10" for practices would be invaluable this year.
