That should be a great tournament. Strong road trip potential.

Would be wild if Teacher and Pupil met in the finals.

If he plays in McHale, I hope the AZ fans give him a warm reception. He busted his ass and played hurt for our program.

Sure wish Tommy could recruit. We'd for sure have the #1 class if he could.

Stephen is quick and has great size. He's teammates with Carter Bryant and Jamari Phillips on Paul George Elite. Hopefully we get a commitment at the Red-Blue Game.

Arizona’s weekend revolves around four-star big man Emmanuel Stephen as he is looking down the barrel of a commitment.
Stephen will announce his decision next week.

He’s far from the only one on campus, however. Tommy Lloyd and the Wildcats are also hosting Carter Bryant (commit), Jamari Phillips (commit), Brayden Burries, Hudson Greer, Cam Holmes, Ikenna Alozie, Andre Iguodala Jr., Mason Magee, Kaden House and Kalek House for unofficials.

Looks like a 2025 kid unless he is changing classes. Hopefully we are prioritizing this guy since he is ranked #3 in the class and is from Gilbert

Yes, although everything I have read points towards Gonzaga as being the favorite:

https://247sports.com/college/basketbal ... 2/#2255023


ZOOM DIALLO, G, NAPA (CALIF.) PROLIFIC PREP

Current Ranking: No. 19

Who is in the mix: Alabama, Arizona, Gonzaga, USC and Washington

Latest intel: The recruitment of Zoom Diallo continues to grind on and the latest intel is that he is set to take two more official visits. First, this weekend, Diallo will head to Washington.

Then in Mid-October, Diallo will head down to Tucson for a visit with Tommy Lloyd and the Arizona Wildcats.

Despite taking two more officials, this recruitment is expected to continue grinding on with Gonzaga speculated to be the leader. However, the Zags recently offered four-star guard Trent Perry and won't wait forever on Diallo. This could be a really interesting story to follow between now and signing day.

That would be fun to just trot out 5 - 7 footers to start, just to see how the other team reacts.

A quicker Koloko?
Man that would be awesome.
Now we just need a taller Mathurin and a mouthier Dalen Terry and we will be set!
