Big man would make UA's 2015 class elite
9 hours ago • By Bruce Pascoe
Arizona busted out of the recruiting gate this summer to grab arguably the top class of 2015 basketball players in the country so far.
If they land a highly rated big man, the Wildcats might also finish with the top class.
Arizona “could have the best recruiting class in the country if it got Allonzo Trier, Ray Smith and Justin Simon and one or two other guys,” said Clark Francis, publisher of the Hoop Scoop recruiting service. “If they get Ivan Rabb, that’s a top one, two or three recruiting class.”
“We definitely have two top classes at this stage,” Gershon said.
Of their final targets, UA appears to be in better shape with Comanche than Zimmerman, but both of them have set official visits to Arizona this fall. In addition, Gershon said, Rabb told him he would probably visit UA for the Oct. 18 Red-Blue Game.
“My belief is that they probably lead for Comanche,” Gershon said. “I think heading into (Zimmerman’s) visit, I wouldn’t guess that Arizona is the team to beat by any means. But that being said, whenever you get a kid on campus, you have a shot.”
“I think the focus is on Rabb and Comanche,” Meyer said. “They might be able to work it out where they could take both. I think Rabb is the No. 1, maybe 1A and Comanche is 1B. (Arizona) really likes Comanche’s upside, and he’ll be there more than one year. Rabb is a one-and-done anyway.
