The Arizona Wildcats are no longer without a commitment in the 2021 recruiting class.

K.J. Simpson, a 4-star guard from West Hills, Calif., committed to the UA on Saturday over Cal, Colorado, Loyola Marymount and USC.

The 6-foot-2, 175-pound Simpson is ranked as the No. 111 player in the country, per 247 Sports. He’s also the seventh-best combo guard in the 2021 class as well as the No. 7 prospect from California.

The Chaminade High School product also plays for AAU program West Coast Elite, the same outfit as recent UA standouts Nico Mannion and Josh Green.
