It's great to see Romar standing next to Sean. No coincidence.
They're clearly still brothers, and I love seeing that.
I really like watson I hope Arizona can get him he a.
Update on Watson
Arizona: "The visit was great. I love the coaching staff, the city was great. Tucson is basketball USA. All of the fans come out and support you and show love so it's a great atmosphere to be in. It would be a great environment to play in because you know all of that love for the program is there."

Seems like he really likes Washington. What do you think Wild?
I think Arizona an Washington lead for peyton .
Watson has committed to UCLA

The 2021 class list has been updated.
This makes me believe UCLA is probably going to take the brother also.
Until Miller is replaced or extended this is going to be the Typical result. If UCLA gains momentum, it might be hard to replace Gonzaga and UCLA as the premier programs of west. Opinions?
This is exactly how the recruiting threads began last year (prior to yet another Top-5 class).
Recruiting is a game where batting .100 in some years can be good. Let's not be prisoners of the moment.
Arizona is stacked with guys like Terry, Mathurin, Tubelis, Baker and Gorener...so this isn't a big loss anyway.
Unless Juzang thinks that he'll leave Westwood after one year, it's strange that he committed to UCLA because they're pretty deep on the wing as well.
I am really disappointed watson was one of Arizona's top 3 targets along with Hickman an banchero, it sound like watson was a UCLA fan so no surprise there. Arizona will have to find another target maybe get more aggressive with
Mashack who is wing.
Arizona needs to probably bring in atleast one or 2 wings since terry wants to be one an done some people say mathurin is much better than people think an Arizona is actually short in that position this year considering years in the past where they have been loaded there.
Watson was a player at onetime was a Arizona lean before ucla offered him.
Arizona is only losing 2 players to graduation but I would not be surprised if guys like terry mathurin, jordon brown , auzoles did not leave after one year maybe even akinjo.
I still think they will have about 5 scholarships maybe 6 to offer.
An I know mathurin an terry will be freshman an should be here for a while, but terry wants be a one year player, some say mathurin is much better than his ranking an could be a one year player , you have tibet gorener that I think is not going to play much an will probably need a few years before he develops.
So I guess what I am saying Arizona really needed peyton this one hurts bad now peyton an kendall brown are off the board there is not alot of wings left on the board for Arizona there's mashack who Arizona needs to pick it up with him an they just offered nowell the brother of jaylan nowell , an there is caleb houston who is a shooter that reclassified to 2021 class.
Peyton is a big miss.

As it stands right now, Gonzaga and Oregon are ahead of Arizona if we are ranking programs.
UCLA/USC and surprisingly Stanford has been recruiting on par/better than us as of the last 2-3 recruiting classes.
What is going to separate us is the style of play and winning PAC-12 titles, which is why Oregon is going to remain a threat for that very reason.
Watson is not as big of a "miss" as you may think.
Cronin is doing what he is supposed to do, and that is build a fence around Los Angeles and keep the local talent coming to UCLA.
Hell, I will go a step further and say that Arizona/USC/Oregon are all considering missing out on this kid as a "miss" but that is what is going to happen when you have arguably four very good programs recruiting the same general region based on proximity.
What is going to separate us is how well Miller is able to recruit areas outside the West, because it is clear that USC/UCLA, and I will even say Oregon/Washington are more than willing to take a seat at the table and put their bid in if necessary.
Your right about Cronin he is just trying to shut the state down with recruits I do fill like watson is a huge miss though Arizona was on him before UCLA was .
