Sonoran Hot Reads: Arizona among schools recruiting P.J. Washington the hardest

The Wildcats look good in the battle for the services of this five star forward

Basketball recruiting is a never-ending cycle, especially the way the Arizona Wildcats were forced to close out the 2016 class. Right now, Sean Miller is going in hot on a 2017 five-star power forward by the name of P.J. Washington. Recently, Washington was interviewed by MADEHoops. He's officially down to 12 schools, but says Arizona is one of the six recruiting him the hardest. He also says that he'll probably take an official visit to Arizona, and will soon be taking an unofficial to Tucson as well. This is definitely a name you'll want to file away

- Back to 2016...the defensive ability of the guys coming in will determine the rotation. It's also an entirely different level of defense than what we got last year, which is nice

- Oregon is still regarded as the favorites to win the Pac-12 next year, with Arizona and Cal right behind
