I'll be at EYBL tomorrow and possibly UA on Sunday. Our staff will likely be in and out of these events because of the 2 recruits visiting campus this weekend.
 
FWIW.......from the Arizona Daily Star.


April 15th, 2016

Tucson, AZ Day two of the spring signing period has just about passed and the Wildcats have still not announced a letter of intent from Rawle Alkins. UA has been posting an official welcome on its Twitter site once a letter is received.

It’s unclear if that means anything, but nothing is ever certain in recruiting until the LOIs are in (and even then they still aren't always certain). In any case, UA does typically prefer to get LOIs lined up together if possible so it can announce them at the same time, early in the signing period, though sometimes you'll hear of a recruit who can't sign right away because of some extenuating circumstance.

I’ve been told by multiple people that Alkins will return to his home in New York from North Carolina this weekend. My text message to Alkins was not returned, though one of his former coaches said he believed Alkins would sign.

Alkins has until May 18 to sign an LOI and technically doesn’t have to ever, as long as he signs non-binding scholarship papers before arriving and coaches are willing to wait.

UA also has not posted confirmation that it has an LOI from Ferguson, either, though the Dallas wing made his plans pretty clear during his announcement Wednesday that he would play for the Wildcats.

St. John's coaching staff three deep watching Naz Reid of SportsU at UAA II in Indy #sjubb

Fwiw, I hear staff feels very good about their chances for this talented 18 big from NJ.

Kid could be a legit one-and-done. Has had a grown man's body since his freshman year.

Paultzman,

Forgetting all the stuff about how many scholarships we will have for 2017, who is the one player you, realistically, hope will get?

Thanks!

I don't see anyone that I feel we are in great shape with, thus the transfer strategy. My friend Happy & others have convinced me that Tucker may not be worth it. Perhaps someone else pops up or a Juco, Just don't see us in the race for Diallo, Bamba, level kids at this point. Win next year & getting those types may be more realistic.

Reid, Quinerly & Muhammed are three talented 2018 kids Matt A has been recruiting hard.

I think a lot of people are selling Jordan Tucker short. While he did not have a great high school season, he is a very skilled player who shoots well from 3 and can handle the ball. I watched him play at IS8 in the fall and was very impressed. He was on a team with TJ Gibbs and Devonte Green and did not have the responsibility of being the primary ball handler. On his high school team, he appeared to be trying to do too much.
I hope the staff continues to recruit him, just my opinion.
