7FT 2nd ranked Center in the west Bryan Penn-Johnson was offered on 6/26/17 by Arizona. 

Bryan Penn-Johnson is the ideal college recruit for the Arizona Basketball Recruiting class of 2018. He is a four-star 7-foot-0 215 pound center from Mt Pleasant, Utah.

On top of all that, he has a great work ethic.  In fact, it is that very work ethic which has placed him into the Top 40 per 247Sports.com, as per Jerry Meyer.

There is a reason teams are coming around. The young man is an exciting basketball player. He is large enough to play the physical post game. But more than just a banging body, he has great instincts for solid defense. 

His true value to basketball is that incredible defense. He can block shots, pull down rebounds, and redirect players diving towards the basket form his presence alone.

Penn-Johnson stands over 7-foot tall, boasts a 7-foot-7 wingspan, a 9-foot-7 standing reach, and bigger hands than Kawhi Leonard.

I freaken love this kid and really really hope we get him.  Could be our next long term anchor in the post.

Ristic's replacement? Switching O for D and rebounding?

I could live with that.  Although it has been nice having, IMO, the best back to basket post player in college basketball.  This kid's measurements and potential are pretty unique.  If he had more experience with basketball he'd probably be a 1 or 2 year only kid.
