Arizona? Seriously? I could understand UK or Duke or Kansas. But Zona? What high level recruit wouldn't want to play for Lute? ...don't forget to read this in regard to the above question:

We should feel good about the fact that the 2nd school he stated was Gtown. Evidence that the MM was a success. The kid is from Carolina and we get mentioned before all of his home state schools. Now all we have to do is stay in contact and win. If all goes well we should put 3 kids in the league at the 2/3 position. And that's not including Otto.

I get that but it isn't as if Harvey is from the west coast. So what exactly has Miller and Arizona done that make them more attractive? I realize Miller is building something great but he hasn't done anything great yet. Nor has he developed/produced any great pros at this point either. Oh, for sure he has sent a couple of guys to the NBA because they happen to be sure-thing recruits whom he wooed to his program. Other than that he has yet to place into the league any guy people would actually pay to see. Plus Miller hasn't even made it to the Final Four. I get Cal and UK, K at Duke and Bill Self at Kansas. But Miller and Zona haven't done jack as of right now. And by the way Arizona is rarely on ESPN, something to throw out there for the whiners on this board who feel the Hoyas' lack of ESPN appearances are hurting the program greatly. Arizona can't be the only team with a young, enthusiastic staff. They're probablly the typical collection of hustlers who play the role of buddy to all the recruits they come into contact with.

Seriously? Arizona has been to the sweet 16 constantly under Miller and the Elite 8 twice in four years. They have put guards in the league historically, play wide open and have a really nice campus with tons of good looking girls. I'd be strongly tempted to go there if I were a recruit.

This^ As Yaboy stated earlier in the thread, his recruitment has barely left the garage.. Offers are what matter the most to kids and at this time Kentucky, Kansas & Duke have yet to offer..

They’re still a National Brand and they’re hot right now…

Don't forget they virtually have no academic standards. Sadly, that's attractive to many recruits.

Let's not get too elitist here. It's fair to say that Arizona's academic standards and requirements fall far short of those at Georgetown; it is a public institution, and the admission rate is over 75%. I hear that the weather isn't bad, either. Sometimes what a recruit wants and what the Hilltop offers just don't align.

What are tigerj's thoughts on this recruitment? It cements Skal being a lock for Memphis.

A definite plus for a red-blooded athlete.

What have they won as of yet? Who are the standout pros from Miller's tenure at this time? Not doubting the program's history or its hot chicks but come on....

We haven't won anything either and we have been much worse in the postseason for as long as most recruits can remember. Besides, you have to think how a 15-16 yr old would think. Fun system, nice campus and weather, hot girls, and big time football would go along way. Tradition and success at developing pros aren't every recruit's top priorities. And even if they were, assuming Harvey wants to be a guard, we have failed miserably at developing ANY in the pros. Now, if he grows and is actually a pro SF, we can say we've done that quite well at least. But until then or actual success in the postseason, we got nothing on AZ.

But I'm not arguing that Harvey should favor the Hoyas either. I instead am just scratching my head over why Arizona at this point in the Miller tenure is such a huge draw for players thousands of miles away.

Sean Miller has coached at Arizona for five seasons already. It's not as though he just arrived there.

Along with Arizona his offers are Georgetown, Memphis, Texas, Houston, Tennessee, NC State, Miami and Xavier have offered.. All due respect to the other schools on the list but Miller/Arizona is by far the hottest name/school who has made an offer right now.. It's not a head scratcher to me why he's saying they lead
