Update - I'm now getting word that Nico Mannion has postponed announcing his final 5 list until August. Don't worry Wildcat fans. Arizona is still his Top choice. BearDown!
Nico Mannion will be announcing his final 5 list in Vegas tomorrow night 7/25/18. Arizona will most definitely be on this list. We'll keep you posted with the latest on Nico.

Well that ship looks like it sailed. Plan B? Load up on transfers again?
Everybody thought the B-Will ship had sailed. He tested the waters & returned to his original commitment.
It's still early in the process & he should be able to "listen" to the Blueblood programs (although it's stupid that they're making an extremely late push for a high-level talent).
Recruiting and courting these 17-18 year old kids would wear me out. As a fan, it can be great when we land them, but getting too emotionally invested in the process isn't worth it when they grace our presence for what...5 months or so?
Not even worried.
He already knows he's destined to be here.
If he wants to live out the rockstar experience a little longer before going official with a decision, I have no problem with that at all.
Nico's final 5 or 6 will be announced within the next 2 weeks. We can confirm that 3 of the teams on his next list will be Arizona, Duke, & Villanova.
It's good that we are in the lead with him but now all the blue blood programs are recruting him and now I read he probably wait till January or February for decision sounds like miller will have to work hard to land him what worrys me is Kentucky unc duke Kansas Villanova.
With Quinerly getting scared & running to Nova...the East Coast Cats will have a veteran PG that wouldn't allow Nico to have the ball in his hands.
Arizona will have an immediate opening to run the offense...and will likely retain B-Will off the ball.
If Green joins...and frontcourt veterans like Ira and Chase are around...Arizona could be deadly with Mannion at the helm.
I think he'll recognize the need to stay in-state & will eventually commit.
This recruitment has a DA feel to it for me.
Highly rated, can go anywhere in the country, but will want to stay close to home.
The closest school in his list happens to be the local school, Arizona.
Nico Mannion has cut his list to Arizona, Duke, Marquette & Villanova.

Two things:
1. This is probably an Arizona/Duke "battle"
AND..
2. I can only see Green with three of those four on his list (Arizona/Duke/Villanova), and how many of those three will be on his list?
