Bryce Wolma, Rhedi Short, Xavier Bell, Troy Young, and Tony Wallace were the other commits that made it out to the Old Pueblo last weekend. Kylan Wilborn couldn’t make it out due to a scheduling conflict, but he has rescheduled his visit to this upcoming weekend.

Florida speedster Travell Harris was the only other uncommitted player who made the trip out to Tucson. Arizona placed themselves in a great position with him but will have to wait it out to see if they’ve done enough to land his commitment. He will be visiting Washington State this upcoming weekend.
