Zeke Nnaji 4-Star Big man commits to Arizona!!

Four-star power forward Zeke Nnaji announced a verbal commitment to Arizona at a ceremony at Hopkins (Minn.) High on Friday.

Big props to PPU member Air-Zona on being the 1st to call Zeke to Arizona. I was able to 110% confirm this with multiple sources after he came to the site saying Nnaji to Arizona. Well done.

Huge get for Arizona.  HUGE.  Exactly how I wanted to close out this class.

This class has solidified the notion to never count out Miller.
After JRE went to Villanova, I was sure it was a race between Arizona/Kansas with local product Purdue with a chance.
I didn't like our chances moving forward, but the longer it took, the more I felt Miller would work his magic.

Two 5* prospects, a top 50 prospect and a top C out West, and Arizona is back!
This class checks all of our boxes, mainly a big that can come in and play immediately.
Welcome to the family that is Arizona Zeke!
We are EXCITED to have you!

He missed the signing period in November, so he can't sign until the the spring signing period. Nnaji was only able to sign non-binding scholarship papers.

Now, time to wait for a strategically timed release from ESPN on Miller trying to break this class apart like last year.
