If you can’t beat ‘em on the court, beat ‘em on the recruiting trail.
The Arizona Wildcats received a commitment from international prospect Ben Mathurin on Wednesday. The 6-foot-6, 190-pound wing picked the UA over the Baylor Bears, who downed the Wildcats in Waco earlier this season. The Canadian announced his decision at halftime of the Thunder-Raptors broadcast.
Mathurin becomes the second player in UA’s 2020 recruiting class, joining four-star wing Dalen Terry, who signed his National Letter of Intent in November. Arizona also has transfers Jordan Brown and James Akinjo set to become eligible next season.
