4-star Texas guard KJ Lewis commits to Arizona over UCLA, others

On Tuesday, Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd told reporters that putting together a recruiting class isn’t as important to him as building a team. On Wednesday he got some good news that applies to both things.

KJ Lewis, a 4-star shooting guard from El Paso, Texas, has committed to the UA, becoming the second player from the Class of 2023 to pledge to the Wildcats in the past 10 days.

The 6-foot-4, 185-pound Lewis, who grew up in Tucson before moving to Texas in fifth grade, picked Arizona over Alabama, Arkansas, Baylor, Houston, Memphis, Texas Tech and UCLA.
