[TJ]

Arizona has 7 of the top-45 ranked players for 2026. Does UA “lead” with any of them? @TJ

Way too early to tell. I do think that Arizona is going to load up heavily on recruits in 2026

“Wildcat for life.” Lol. These guys spend a single season on a campus and it’s “for life.” If you were “the man” on an impressive squad I could give it a little consideration. But he was a nice player off the bench. Liked him a lot. Had a lot of upside. Seems like a nice enough kid. Understand why he’s staying in the draft. But I’ll forget he was a wildcat in 3 years. And if he busts in nba I’ll forget him altogether.

There’s a chance that Sidi Gueye doesn’t make it to Arizona. He’s having immigration issues that may compromise his ability to come to the states and play (you can probably figure out why, but P&R). Arizona is working hard to make it work, but it’s uncertain at this point

I actually asked that question on BRO a bit ago because with the travel ban there's highly rated transfer prospects from several countries on that list and it's not clear to me college basketball prospect is good enough to get them cleared?

Hope he's able to get through. I had read that some schools aren't even bothering to send scouts to the FIBA games going on because it's so uncertain if the kids they'd be recruiting can get into the country

FYI we have a thread that morphed on BRO where people are saying one of the common discussions at the FIBA events right now are exactly this is it even worth recruiting kids from countries on the ban list
