Arizona Steals Week, Sits Atop 2017 Throne
Arizona Steals Week, Sits Atop 2017 Throne
FloHoops Off The Board, High School Basketball Recruiting, High School Basketball Commits, Arizona Wildcats, Ira Lee
At this point, there is no letting up. It is always full speed ahead, and this past week saw plenty of action with 2017 prospects who flew off the board and will change the game for some teams next season.
Notable commitments included Flo40 guard Tremont Waters to Georgetown, Flo40 guard Lindell Wigginton to Iowa State, and forward Jordan Nwora to Louisville. But while those three and several others sparked the headlines, there was one team who stole the show…
The Big Winner: Arizona. If head coach Sean Miller and the Wildcats didn't have the top 2017 class after last week, they certainly secured the No. 1 spot with another solid commitment a few days ago.
No, Arizona did not land a Flo40 prospect like Georgetown and Iowa State, but it did secure a much-needed piece for this class with Crossroads (CA) forward Ira Lee.

At 6-foot-7, Lee is the perfect glue guy and complements a loaded commitment list of big man DeAndre Ayton (Flo40 No. 2), shooting guard Brandon Randolph, and point guard Alex Barcello.
The scary thing? Arizona isn't done yet.
