Right now, I'd guess the odds as 36 Arizona, 34 Kentucky, and 30 Kansas......subject to change.

Yeah... before reading the article I really thought that he was a serious UofA lean. Now after hearing his comments about his high school recruiting being then, and this being now... I think he likes the idea of being another one of the one-and-done's at UK. I think he's more likely to be a Wildcat than a Jayhawk, but I'm not sure we're his favorite Wildcat any more.

Nice job, it would seem to me that Kentucky will be the leader in the clubhouse because of Calipari's record with the one and dones.
An experienced guard like this, leading and helping take the pressure of the soph and fresh guards, makes Arizona an immediate Pac 12 contender for the championship, no doubt.
Otherwise, we'll be OK, but probably just OK.

He is Arizona's to lose. Forget about all those other schools being mentioned. It is nothing short of posturing, IMHO.

I think anyone that age can be whined and dined particularly when he was no national big deal at Xavier and now he is going to be shown stars. Miller has familiarity but he will get more publicity at the other schools. The question is whether he will be the key guy in their programs at the point. There is selling to do and then a signature. I believe the one who gets the signature wins. I, too, hope it is CSM.

I also believe he is AZ's to lose. I hope CSM reels him in, but the way he spoke about the other 2 schools definitely has me wavering a bit in how confident I really am in Lyons choosing the RIGHT Wildcats (who hail from the desert). Of course, CSM has won some recent recruiting battles against these same two schools as well, let's not forget that fact either.
Arizona is the better fit, I hope Lyons realizes it.

Not sure how that's possible considering Lyons is taking a final today at Xavier, unless it's an online final. Honestly, I didn't ask where he was taking his test but find it hard to believe he's doing it from Kentucky's campus.

Nothing worthwhile is ever easy, recruiting talent, especially.
Sure seems like we need this one pretty bad - I'd be shocked if the staff and players aren't locked in on it right now.
