Sonoran Hot Reads: Rawle Alkins adds Arizona to his final list of nine

Sean Miller back in the running for a very highly-ranked 2016 recruit

We might be in the middle of an extremely long stretch without any Arizona Wildcats basketball, but Sean Miller is out here making moves. Five-star 2016 shooting guard Rawle Alkins apparently had a nice conversation with coach Miller, as Arizona has been added to Alkins' final list of nine schools

Long talk with coach miller & coach book , I would like to announce Arizona Wildcats is back on my list which finalizes to a list of 9

Alkins is the 16th-ranked player in the entire country, and the third-best shooting guard. If Arizona can make a late run here, that would be an enormous get for Miller and company.

Of course, Schultz has a horrible history with "reporting" on Arizona things:

Swirling reports on Arizona JR. center Kaleb Tarczewski -- I am being virtually assured that he is going pro.
