One of the Rivals recruiting analysts flipped his pick for Jason Bradley to Arizona this morning. Hopefully, a good sign.

Bradley is a pretty good PG prospect. It would help heavily with Lloyd's recruiting.

Don’t know, dad is the one calling the shots here, he isn’t an attention whore, so wouldn’t expect any leak unless it’s right before Jaden announces.

Would “Arizona is in a good spot with Jaden Bradley” work for you? At the very least this is a recruitment worth paying attention to if you’re an Arizona fan unlike the Shaedon Sharpe one.

I’ll take it!

Haven’t seen anything on a decision time frame. Anyone know, or heard anything?

Eric Bossi has said it feels like an Arizona v Alabama battle for Bradley, and that he expects Bradley will make a decision before November. Bradley has taken all of his visits so I wouldn't be surprised to see a commitment from him in the next two to four weeks - there's not much left to think over before the signing date on November 10.

Dushawn London of 247 just put in a crystal ball for Arizona.

He was supposed to decide by his bday, which was yesterday, but he just barely took that Gonzaga visit, so he delayed it a bit. No official day, but I think it should be in the next couple of weeks. Don’t quote me on that though.

If he doesn't commit to AZ, pretty sure it's because Heeke and Robbins got involved.

Bradley sort of feels like a must get. Anderson dropped to #70 on 247 and we aren't leading for anyone else in their top 100.

I like his game. 247 has him 100% Utah, which is why I didn't include him.

Both he and Bradley would be good, as I'm figuring Mathurin is gone and Kier is definitely gone. Having two adds on the perimeter to compensate for at least two losses seems necessary.

Edit: especially if Chandler does take a two year mission prior to his freshman year.

Chandler’s two predictions came in 2020 when Krystokowiak was the Utah coach and Chandler was a borderline top 150 prospect. Needless to say his recruiting has changed. He was just bumped up to #30 in the entire 2022 class. It’ll be us, Stanford, or Utah for him.

The mission situation will be interesting. He may be too good to go on one now.

If Chandler is a devout Mormon he will go on a mission. And the religion dictates males go on missions at age 19. Understand that Mormons look forward to going on a mission their entire lives. I would bet he plays 1 year in college, goes on a mission for 2 years, and comes back to college. The most important things to Mormons are to go on a mission, get married in the temple, and have a quiverfull of children.

There have been a handful of devout Mormons who bypassed missions to play college immediately. Jabari Parker is the most recent one.

They can go as early as 18 now. Been like that since 2013. He may go as soon as he graduates high school or turns 18.

From Jerry Meyer, the kiss of death lol

Posted: **Fri Sep 17, 2021 11:40 am**

It shows Meyer is 92% accurate in 2022. Is that not accurate? I thought he is the type who makes a pick once he has heard through the grapevine that a decision is imminent in the next few days.

Meyer typically makes a very early call on recruitments and then changes his pick right before decision time if it’s obviously going to be different. Bradley should be deciding soon, but it’s not a done deal for Arizona yet.

Posted: **Thu Sep 30, 2021 3:10 pm**

Ariz is going to be considered a risk until recruits can see a product on the floor. Players don't know style of play, coaching ability, or X's and O's as well as one of the most important aspects who they will play with, Heeke said the change in coaches was his decision to elevate the program. I will hold him to that standard.

fair enough if it is a Pelle-esque young, high-quality transfer. would definitely prefer no GT though.
