Didn't the Cats pick up his St. Joe's teammate Will Kuykendall just to get an edge in on him?

I live in the same small town he plays in. Not once have I seen him around. If I did yesterday he would have seen me in my UA t-shirt.

Listed on 247 as a 6’5” PF…not sure I’ve ever seen that, but not the size PF I would want in theory…

Maybe I’m looking into it wrong idk

That's him. He gets Barkley comparisons.

These top talented kids jumping from HS early…..does he really expect to contribute that much as a young Freshman? Disappointing to see two of our 25 options reclassify and lost out to ASU….anyways, just my opinion and I do hope and think we can land him. BTFD.

He's Canadian, so he's naturally a class of 2024 guy. Either way he's going to Illinois barring a miracle. They can offer more PT and money, so it is what it is. Hard to cry over a bench option that may not even hang around for another year regardless, same goes for Sanon obviously.

I’ve finally come around to just rolling with the team the coaches put on the floor. If they aren’t Arizona Good, then I cry. Recruiting is still somewhat interesting to me but it’s the dudes who I see in the UA uniforms that get me excited (or pissed).
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Yup, and it's not like if we miss out on a top player we don't just have another one ready to go. Tommy has backup plans for his backup plans.

I'm much more interested to see how next year's class shakes out. A lot of intriguing recruits in that one.

I'm not saying it's going to happen, but based on all the groundwork already done on Tounde, I wouldn't be surprised if we come out with a commitment this weekend. If we don't then that recruitment will get that much harder.

Via Winger Jr I have had a really good feeling on Tounde for months.

I don't think any guy is a lock for Arizona at this point, but probably doing the best for Peat and Greer at this moment IMO. I'm interested to see how things shake out with Burries & Dixon. Those could go in any direction.

It's just a new world on the recruiting front these days. NIL has made things much more competitive. Still, I would think we can remain a player.

Think it's just a courtesy call.

I'd say our biggest competition is now Arkansas.

I wouldn't sleep on Baylor, but yeah if he's staying in the state of Arizona, he's going to Tucson.
