With all of the hoopla surrounding five-star talents Rawle Alkins, Kobi Simmons, and Lauri Markkanen coming to Tucson in the 2016 recruiting class, it is easy to forget another highly-touted talent that will debut for the Arizona Wildcats next year -- Ray Smith.
The forward was a five-star recruit from Las Vegas and an integral part of Arizona's third-ranked recruiting class in 2015. Smith checked in at No. 19 on 247Sports’ National Composite List, slotting him ahead of notable Pac-12 freshmen like Oregon’s Tyler Dorsey, Washington’s Dejounte Murray and Oregon State’s Tres Tinkle.
