Not sure if I started a 2021 prospect list but I'll check and then add this kid to the list.
Even though he is 6'10, he looks like he is not done growing.
Yikes!

Nice I wonder if anybody can take him from oregon.
Has the wingspan of a small truck! I'd bet he could adjust your headlight and change the tail light bulb at the same time...Wow!
Will you wear thong-shorts if you come to Arizona? if not I would suggest another pac12 school Mr. Bittle
Arizona makes Bittle's final 4 list.

Let's hope he chooses the team on his far right.
I dought it though, Oregon has been the favorite forever now from the way it sounds the other 3 teams are doing better with him of course guys are probably scared to come hear since Arizona is waiting for the noa.
I honestly will be surprised if bittle chooses anybody else other than oregon.

You Coach Few and Gonzaga all the way messed up if you don't think they have a shot here.
This is exactly the type of big that they have been funneling into Spokane, and then turning them into a 1st round pick down the line.
I would be more concerned about them than I would be with Oregon.
Oregon has not had much success when it comes to landing and developing bigs, but we haven't had one since Ayton, but that is more recent than Oregon so...
I would say Oregon gets bittle but gonzaga has a shot , I just think he stays home that's been talk since Arizona started recruiting him.

Turning Zeke into a potential 1st rounder??? He wasn't on NBA's radar entering Arizona.
Honestly rather get the other Oregon kid Ben Gregg. Brittle is the type of kid who is just oozing so much talent but will only show flashes of greatness in his likely 1 year of college before getting drafted based off of potential and raw talent without ever having much meaningful impact. We saw it last season with Green and Mannion. Gregg on the other hand more of a shooter type big would be a nice compliment to our interior oriented frontcourt and very likely a guy we can count on for multiple years.

Agree totally.
Koloko, if he stays for 3-4 years, hopefully four, and remains healthy, will be all that we need at the 5. So I agree that not getting Bittle wouldn't be anything close to suicidal. I'm also in agreement that signing up Gregg would be a nice get. Here's hoping we get the power forward.
I am also a fan of gregg an like his ability to stretch the court.
It sounds like Arizona has a shot there
I still think Oregon has the edge because Oregon is home.
Oregon is barely home to him. Southern Oregon is not very close to U of O. Also this kid is like if you took the two baddest white boys in Oregon HS Bball history, Kevin Love and Kyle Singler, and mixed them into one player. I hope we get him.
I would love for Arizona to get bittle no analyst sees him coming to Arizona recruiting is fluid.
But I don't think he will come here it sounds like Oregon is the heavy favorite than gonzaga who is about land ben gregg who they stole from Arizona, ucla than Arizona is the one school that analyst are not giving a chance to land bittle.
To Oregon
he was always headed to Oregon, seems like the other options were just dressing
The notion of elite prospects staying close to home is something that I believe is going to continue until this pandemic has "completely" gone, which in my opinion might not be until sometime in 2021 calendar year.
This trend might have a hit on our recruiting until the 2022 recruiting class.
As for Bittle (and Gregg), congrats on their decision, but around March, we all thought we had a decent shot with the both of them.
Gonzaga and Oregon landed two of the best in the Northwest and in the nation.
Now we have to figure out which two bigs we are going to targeting to replace the two spots we lost.

Hopefully, by then, our NCAA issues will be behind us too.

Yeah who knows how long it is going to take when it comes to that.
It seems like they are taking their time going down the ladder of programs.
The question is where do we fall on the scale, and are we high enough to warrant any type of discipline?
I never really thought bittle was going anywhere else other than Oregon, gregg on the other hand it appeared that he was coming to Arizona until gonzaga offered so that was a big loss.
IRA lee will graduate an j.brown or tubelis could leave early my guess is Arizona needs to bring in atleast 2 bigs .
Hopefully daron holmes, jamarian sharp the juco kid who reminds of koloko.
