Arizona going hard after 2019 Big Oumar Ballo watching him again yesterday

Very few quality big men in the 2020 class so the more we can land in this class the better.  Don't ever want to be this limited as far as size and depth with size in the frontcourt ever again.

If he visits?
One solid thing is the recent surge of bigs from Arizona having solid careers jn the league. Does Gonzaga have that track record to compare to? There is a chance IF he visits.

Well Ivan Rabb and Justice Winslow says visiting Arizona doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things.

And those kids are where?  Look, every kid that looks is not going to come to Arizona!

Then why mention visiting then if that is your response?
You mentioned my point exactly, that visiting doesn't mean much.
Miller can get Ballo to visit and he still choose Gonzaga.
A visit doesn't mean anything as much with this generation, but a free trip to a new place to experience.

I still don't get who Ballo will be backfilling.

Is Jeter leaving early, or is Lee transferring?  If neither...will Nnaji exclusively play the PF position while Koloko redshirts?

This recruitment seems odd.

Zeke was recruited as a PF and will log majority of his minutes there. Koloko is expected to redshirt

Lee isn't transferring. Jeter is still up in the air, my guess is he'll return for his senior year

Lee better not transfer. If anything, tell shareef to come back and join him.

On another note, why aren't we recruiting either of these guys from Arizona? I've seen both, and they are good. And the only reason Chol's rating is low right now is because he had a prolonged absence from HS ball. He was a phenom as a freshman though and hasn't forgotten how to play. Also, that 100% UConn prediction is based off of only 1 prediction and is from a long time ago.

Great question.  I'm extremely removed from local AZ recruiting, but there is no reason that our staff shouldn't be targeting two D-1 prospects that are legit frontcourt players.

Either the staff saw something they didn't like (in person), academics are poor...or they are completely blind.

I think Carl Lewis is interested in football, as well.  Could be other issues as he is very under recruited for a kid of his talent.

Thought he was a sprinter.

Ballo commits to Gonzaga. It was gonna be almost impossible getting him to go anywhere else as he already built a relationship with them.
