Shane Nowell will commit on Saturday according to his Instagram page.
Nice, if Arizona gets him there class will be that much more complete needing probably one more maybe two if Holmes would have come class probably complete,
Wish him the best who knows what went wrong that. He did not commit here, an then he threw a curve ball with Marquette an went to Dayton.
Arizona needs to find a big now.
For a second, I did not know who this kid was because he was not on the Prospect List.
This is the younger brother of former Washington star Jaylen Nowell.
I did not know he had an offer.
Last I heard, I thought an offer was going to come, but we all can't be on top of everything.
Everyone believes this is going to be an Arizona/Washington battle.
I believe the same, and I couldn't call it if I had to put my money on it.
I am sure the "experts" would say Arizona, but I do not allow myself to believe what anyone else says when it comes to recruiting.
We will find out on Saturday...

actually everyone believes he's Arizona bound. I don't know anyone else who believes it's between Arizona and Washington. He's been reported as being a silent verbal to Arizona for over a month
We offered Nowell in July
I understand mvpreed2 I got my Hope's up with,ben gregg,daron Holmes only to be severely disappointed after it seemed like Arizona was leading for both.

He is 100% coming to ARIZONA!! I UNDERSTAND THE APPREHENSION BUT HE IS ABSOLUTELY COMING HERE
Just watched some highlights of this kid and he is really impressive! My strongly unbiased opinion after 10 minutes of watching highlights of only positive plays tell me that he should be ranked higher than 85 nationally.
But seriously he looks quick, long and really athletic with a ton of defensive upside.
If he's anything like his bro, I'll be ecstatic to see him on campus.

Whoa relax Zona haha!
I don't know why this made me literally laugh out loud.
I understand that most know more about recruiting than I do.
I simply do not (and cannot) be as invested as I used to be back in the PGU days because of work/responsibilities outside of work.
Hopefully, Nowell would be the one to unlock the Northwest pipeline to come down to Arizona.
Washington/Oregon is an area that we have not been able to tap in to during Miller's tenure.
The days when recruites made decisions based on the NCAA are over.
The NCAA has no bearing on these kids.
We are now in a different time and probably the 3rd or 4th major shift away from 10 years ago
College basketball is not like any sport I know.

The perception of things are much different now.
Prospects and their team/handlers are doing their homework beforehand.
They are not as concerned as the sanctions because some of the prestige of the name on the front of the jersey would still bring in the NBA scouts.
Arizona is still a name that will continue to bring in NBA talent, and the scouts know it, and they are going to continue to come.
I totally agree Preed. Personally I'm glad to see this it means overall the NCAA has less influence and power. Which is very good for us since everyone has been dragging UA through the mud the last 4 yrs

hahaha. I didn't mean to make the statement in caps. I put the caps lock on for Arizona and forgot to turn it off so the rest of the message looks a little aggressive which wasn't my intention
ZN always picking fights on PPU :)
It defently seems like shane is coming here.
I am just saying its hard to get invested in some recruits that Arizona is or has recruited because they have missed on them.
Committed!
This is now our 3rd commitment for the 2021 class with a combo guard (Simpson) and two wings (Dezonie/Nowell)
I will update the prospects list asap.
