List of the latest 2021 Arizona basketball recruiting targets

[Surgeon]

Dieng wont accept a redshirt when he's a projected top 20 nba pick in 22.

On another note it will be exciting to watch literally all of our players (minus Nowell)  play for Fiba u19 this summer. I think that will be a better time to judge our lineups and who looks ready to compete.

Pelle won't play in the u19 wc. Sweden did not qualify. He might play in the u20 European championship

[Jdmarti]

I really like dieng  good size for a wing don't  know if Arizona  is still recruiting  him. I think if he came hear I think he would make an immediate impact.

I hope we keep shane nowell.

This was tweeted today. Not sure if we really contacted the kid and are recruiting him or if the Arizona name is jut being thrown around.

Georgia Guard - Justin Kier

No thanks. We have enough combo guards that are primarily shooters.

Not with Kier being 6'4.
I would have been able to think about it if he were 6'6 or taller.
Our 1-2 rotation is basically set as we can/will have both Mathurin/Terry/Bal all being over 6'6 and I am positive are going to be playing 1-3 depending on the situation.
Arizona needs more true SFs right now, which we don't have ANY, based on size Mathurin/Terry can play there though.

I am dying to get one of those 6'7 or 6'8 wings in here that are BUILT like Cade Cunningham.
I know the game is getting smaller/faster, but the traditionalist in me would still love to throw out that 2013-14 lineup where we put Gordon at SF, with Ashley/Tarczewski? Sheesh!

[KansasCityCats]

I think the SF is covered with Terry/Mathurin playing there exclusively.  Mathurin will likely play SG when Kerr/Terry are in the game together...which will be a bulk of the minutes.  If Terry steps out, I assume Benn will step in at SF and a shooter like Pelle/Nowell will step in.

I think the SF is set when Tubes in the lineup playing PF with Ballo or Koloko at the center. My concern is when we need to play against smaller lineups by putting Tubes at the 5. That leaves us with a big whole for someone to play the PF spot. Yes, Terry could step in and do it, I just think he is still too slender to battle for boards and bang down low.  Here is the current roster with height and weight.

C   Christian Koloko (7-1 220)
C   Oumar Ballo (7-0 260)
PF Ąžuolas Tubelis (6-10 240)
SF Tautvilas Tubelis (6-7 210)
SG Dalen Terry (6-7 190)
SG Bennedict Mathurin (6-6 195)
G   Adama Bal (6-6 180)
SG Shane Nowell (6-5 180)
G   Pelle Larsson (6-5 215)
PG Kerr Kriisa (6-2 165)

[WerderBremen]

That is why we need Kaluma. Hopefully announcing later is not a bad sign.

[KansasCityCats]

Right on, DT4.  Hopefully, Rounds can bulk up Terry in the offseason so he can keep up with opposing PF's.

I think that situation will be rare because Koloko/Ballo should share most minutes at C with Tubelis in at the 4.

The "wildcard" is Tautvilas.  If he can come in and play 6-10 minutes per game, our only real concern will be PG depth.
