2020 Recruiting List

[mvpreed2]

We're definitely not recruiting Kyree Walker.

Correct, but I chose to put all of those that have an offer from Arizona.
There were several in the 2019 class that I knew we were not going to land, but still held an offer.

UPDATE!

The first domino in the 2020 recruiting class has fallen
ESPNU Super 60 prospect Julian Strawther has committed to Gonzaga.

This is Gonzaga's 2nd commitment in the 2020 class, both are Super 60 prospects.
Few is going to be another program we are going to have to recruit against.
Before it was just Washington, this time he ran into Nevada and stole a good one.

Per ESPN today:
Juzang decided to reclassify into the 2019 class in late April and took a visit to Kentucky shortly after that announcement. He announced his commitment to Kentucky on Instagram on Friday night, and the Wildcats followed minutes later with an announcement that Juzang officially signed with the school.
Juzang, a 6-foot-7 wing from Harvard Westlake High School (California), was one of the top uncommitted players remaining in the 2019 class. He's ranked No. 29 in the ESPN 100, slotting in as the No. 3 small forward in the senior class.

Well we now know the new wave in basketball recruiting:

— Start school late/repeat a grade so you're bigger than everyone else
— If the class ahead of yours is weak, reclassify and commit to elite school

Bagley III isn't the first to do it, but he is the domino that reshaped the blueprint.
Since him, there have been three 5* prospects to reclassify and commit to elite schools:
Mannion - Arizona
Hampton -
Juzang - Kentucky

Hopefully Mannion makes the transition better than Akot did. Wiggins reclassified to attend KU and Nerlens Noel, Dakari Johnson, Karl-Anthony Towns, Jamal Murray and Isaac Humphries all reclassified before attending Kentucky and there have been several others - I'm not sure it all started with Bagley but it does seem to be a trend.

The point I was trying to make was that Bagley doing it seemed to be made into a big deal, and the sports media has been highlighting/following it a lot closer in recent history.
I do remember when Wiggins did it, none of the UK prospects though, but my point remains the same.

Might be true about the media coverage - it's far more common in football but a lot of players did it before Bagley, including Dillon Brooks at Oregon.

There is a similar pattern with everyone you have mentioned.
With the exception of Wiggins, all of them were Kentucky prospects (going to attract media attention) or lesser prospects.

Yes it has happened before, but the media seems to be putting it under more of a microscope nowadays and letting it be known to the casual fan.

Cant help but feel we are behind with a lot of these kids, particularly after we lost Coach Phelps.  I'm sure he had the majority of the long term relationships with these kids going back 3 or 4 years.
Class is really lacking in size.  I hope we can land a big that can have an immediate impact as he will be needed. Tons of wings, should be ok there. 

[dashots_UA]

Are there any international guys that we may be able to land?  Kinda the way we landed Lauri or Thielemans..
