Hailing from Modesto Christian and standing 6-feet-3-inches, Jamari Phillips is the first commitment for Arizona Basketball for the class of 2024.
As Tommy Lloyd continues to build his reputation as a head coach in college basketball, more players are becoming aware of what is brewing in Tucson.
The Wildcats have one of the best offenses in college basketball, so naturally, you are starting to see several talented players seriously looking at the Wildcats again.
Becoming the first commitment in the recruiting class for 2024, Jamari is certainly a big one to add if you are the Wildcats! Overall, he is considered to be one of the best players in the country as he hails from Modesto Christian in Northern California.
Joining Arizona, Jamari is a talented combo guard known for his shooting ability, and even though he is a bit smaller in stature, you figure that Phillips will continue to fill out and should likely be a two-guard for the Cats once he comes to Tucson.
Arizona is making great progress in the recruiting class for 2023 and 2024, and with Jamari Phillips on board, Tommy and the Wildcats have made a huge splash! Just take a look at Arizona’s latest commitment!
