Arizona Basketball: 5-star guard Jaden Hardy has Arizona in Top 12

Already making progress in the 2021 Recruiting Class, the Arizona Basketball team made the Top 12 for five-star combo guard, Jaden Hardy.

Recruiting is an ongoing process, especially if you are Sean Miller and the Wildcats. With the 2020 recruiting almost done, the focus starts to pivot to 2021 for the Arizona Basketball team, with Jaden Hardy being one of their top targets early one.

For those that don’t know who he is, Jaden is a highly touted five-star combo guard that stands 6-feet-4-inches and 190 pounds.

Arizona Wildcats

Ranking inside the Top 10 in the country not only for his position but overall, Hardy has offers from virtually every where, with Arizona being one. As stated, Hardy is easily one of the best players in the country for his class, and it’s clear why the Wildcats are making him a priority.

Well good news for us Cats fans, as Hardy took to social media the other day to announce his Top 12 schools, and the Wildcats have made the cut!

Also on his list of schools is; Georgia, UCLA, Texas Tech, Georgetown, Oregon, Kentucky, Michigan, Memphis, Kansas, Illinois and yes, those guys up north, ASU.

Hopefully that Cats can be in this one until the end, because Hardy is a good one. When you look at his film, he is an impressive player.

First off, even at 6-feet-4-inches, he’s got good size for a combo guard and has great length and athleticism that makes him a very versatile player.

He’s a good scorer at all three levels, being able to finish around the rim, but also having a pretty good jump shot all the way out to the three-point line.

While mainly being a scorer, he also is a good rebounder and can distribute the ball well. Overall, he’s a great player that’s going to continue to developer and be a good college player and eventual pro!

Just take a look for yourself!

At Zona Zealots, we’re excited to see how this recruitment develops and hope they can even possibly get an eventual commitment! As always, Bear Down, Arizona!
