With the Class of 2024 getting some sudden cuts at the buzzer, Arizona Basketball head coach Tommy Lloyd has put a lot of stock in the players currently on the roster for this coming season. What this does, though, is free up minutes for the Class of 2025 when they arrive in Tucson as freshmen next fall.
Eight high school prospects are fielding scholarship offers from Arizona, with the lowest-graded of the bunch clocking in at an extremely respectable 94. So far, three recruits have made the trek to Tucson to take official visits, and two others who have yet to visit already seem to have Arizona on the radar.
This will provide a quick update on the status of Arizona's scholarship offers by position and how well Lloyd's staff is gearing up for Caleb Love, Jaden Bradley, and KJ Lewis to depart for professional opportunities.
