Arizona basketball recruiting: In-state prospect Saben Lee's recruitment heating up

It wasn't long ago that Saben Lee was unknown to college coaches. Now, he's being made a priority by some of the nation's elite programs.

Saben Lee was like most basketball players on their freshman and JV basketball teams - relatively unknown. Not tall, strong, or a great shooter. Lee's college basketball future seemed non-existent.

Then, as he started to grow and his varsity playing time increased, he was able to show off how athletic he truly is. All of this has culminated in one of the hottest recruiting processes in the country with the Arizona Wildcats, Louisville Cardinals, and many other schools across the nation giving Lee a serious look few would have envisioned just a year earlier.
