Sonoran Hot Reads: Ira Lee down to Arizona, Cal and Oregon

The Wildcats might be on the verge of landing another highly-ranked prospect

We are now less than four weeks away from the Red-Blue Game, which is typically when Arizona Wildcats basketball recruiting really starts to heat up. Five-star forward Ira Lee has already announced he’ll be visiting for the intrasquad scrimmage, and as expected, he trimmed his list to three schools, with Arizona, Cal and Oregon on that list. As of Sunday night, the Wildcats had 83% of Lee’s Crystal Ball predictions. UA seems to be in good shape on this one
