The Arizona Wildcats made another international splash on Thursday, signing French big man Daniel Batcho, who is deemed the top international big man to go the college route.
Here is what the 6-foot-10, 225-pound forward’s commitment means for the Wildcats.
The international pipeline is so real
Batcho becomes the fourth member of Arizona’s 2020 recruiting class, three of whom are foreign-born. There’s Batcho from France, Kerr Kriisa from Estonia, and Bennedict Mathurin from Canada.
As we’ve outlined before, the Wildcats have had a very solid track record with international players under Sean Miller, the most notable ones being Lauri Markkanen, Dusan Ristic, Josh Green and Deandre Ayton.
