2019 Recruiting List

[mvpreed2]

Minor recruiting updates:

- PJ Fuller (WA) commits to TCU
- Jaelyn Withers (NC) commits to Louisville

Currently, the 2 man class of Nico Mannion & Christian Koloko give Arizona the No. 14 class in 2019. Arizona will most definitely be in the top 10 recruiting rankings when it's all said & done.

With good recruiting news, always comes with some bad news.
Both Wisemann and Walker have cut Arizona from their respective list of schools; Wisemann to 5, and Walker to 3.
Here is the article for those that may want to read it.

I would like to throw out the fact that Villanova and Florida State are quietly assembling a nice recruiting class.
Both have each landed two ESPNU prospects that we have offered.

Great list mvpreed.  Thanks for putting it together sir!  I wonder where we stand with Khalid Thomas and/or Vrenz Bleijenbergh?  I still believe we need a big man to finish off this class, as Koloko is still so so so raw.  Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like we have gained much ground with Nnaji or Timme(I could be wrong), so we may need to go after one of those two.

Thanks shots!
I've been wondering that as well, between those two, and add in Turner.
I think Thomas would another combo forward and not what we need in this class.
I'm guessing Miller would add another grad-transfer C and hope to get Koloko ready and snag another HS prospect at C.

I'm hearing the 2020 class is weak for C, but Miller still needs to shoot his shot.

Khalid Thomas committed long time ago

Yea  I think nanji is our last hope unless Sean Miller finds a grad transfer or if he finds another high school propect.

Yea, the 2020 class is one of the main reasons I have been so adamant about needing to land another big man in the 19 class.  There is very little size throughout the class and even less on the west coast.  Granted, some kids may continue to grow but even still, 6'10"+ guys will be relatively rare and therefor highly recruited.
Thanks for the update azfreak.  I guess that's another kid off the table.

I would even go as far to say I wouldn't mind Miller taking on another project that wouldn't be ready in 2020 to give more reps to Koloko, but it is still early and I'm wondering how this new offense would look with a big that has been as talented as others like a Tarczewski/Jarrett/Ashley or Ayton.
Good thing we will have Jeter/Lee next season to give Koloko a year to redshirt because we are going to need him in 2020 as it stands right now.
