Making more moves in the recruiting class of 2023, Arizona Basketball has added Motiejus Krivas, one of the top international prospects.

The 2023 recruiting class starting to take shape, and after adding KJ Lewis and Alabama transfer, Jaden Bradley, Tommy Lloyd, and Arizona Basketball has added another recruit for next season.

Breaking the news via social media, the Wildcats picked up a commitment from Motiejus Krivas, one of the top international prospects for 2023.

Hailing from BC Žalgiris in Lithuania, Motiejus Krivas is one of the top international basketball prospects that will join Arizona Basketball.

As Tommy Lloyd continues to build his reputation as a head coach in college basketball, he is making himself known to be a solid recruiter as well.

It was just weeks ago that there were some concerns with Lloyd and Arizona’s recruiting capabilities, but luckily, those concerns have since been quelled, as the Wildcats have added yet another commitment for the class for 2023.

Coming in, Motiejus is a big-time addition for the Wildcats, as is considered by many to be one of the best international players. And with his length and upside, he will help bring immediate depth to Arizona.

At 7-feet-2-inches and with a wingspan that stretches 7-feet-5-inches, Krivas is a skilled big man with high upside, and with Zalgris this past season, Motiejus appeared in 40 games where he averaged a very respectable 11.1 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game on 58.0 percent shooting from the field according to Real GM.

Arizona is starting to make great progress in the recruiting class for 2023, and with KJ Lewis and Jaden Bradley on board as well, Tommy and the Wildcats are putting together a solid core! Just take a look at Arizona’s latest commitment!
