Arizona going a little light on the visitors for this weekend's game against Washington State, but one of the top targets is expected back on campus yet again with in-state offensive lineman Caleb Lomu heading down to Tucson one more time. He'll be the most notable uncommitted prospect on campus, but there is a solid group of visitors expected to be in attendance tomorrow for the game. All three of the uncommitted visitors have a shot to end up playing for the Wildcats, so it is certainly another key weekend for the staff.

Targets
2023
Top competition: Kansas State
Rundown: The linebacker from Hamilton High looked like he would be Arizona-bound in the summer. You could even say one of the dancing cacti GIFs was for him. The Wildcats are very much in the picture still, but he made an official visit out to Kansas State earlier this month changing the feel of his recruitment a bit. This is another important visit for the Wildcats to impress the big in-state linebacker prospect.
Top competition: Utah, USC, Michigan
Rundown: A recent official visit to Utah has completely changed the shape of Lomu's recruitment. There has been plenty of buzz that he will end up committing to the Utes after that trip. He's recently visited Michigan as well and USC remains in the picture. His best relationship with is with Brennan Carroll, and that has kept the Wildcats in the race. Utah could end up being too difficult to beat in this one, but Arizona has certainly put maximum effort into landing the in-state prospect. He is originally from Utah, and that holds plenty of appeal for Lomu, but Arizona has done a good job of keeping him as a priority throughout the entire process. He's not far off from a decision from the sound of it, so this could end up being one of the last times UA is able to get him on campus before he makes his choice.
Top competition: Oregon State
Rundown: It feels inevitable that the Oregon State commit will flip his choice. He's already been on campus with the Wildcats multiple times, and he has had nothing but positive things to say about the team. The familiarity of a school like OSU has kept him committed there, but Arizona has continued to put emphasis on bringing him out to the desert. It is another important step in his recruitment to get him back out for another game this season.
