The fall evaluation period began today allowing Tommy Lloyd and Arizona's coaches to get around to high schools to check in on prospects the program is targeting. There are two clear top targets in the current and upcoming classes, and Lloyd made it out to see both of them today. The staff will be active in getting out to see its top targets in the 2023 and 2024 classes, and it will be able to do so in a hurry since there aren't a ton of top-tier targets for the staff right now.

In-state wing Cody Williams was visited by Lloyd and the coaching staff today as the Wildcats have now locked in an official visit with the top-50 senior from Perry High School in Gilbert. Williams will take an official visit to UA beginning Oct. 14. He just recently visited Colorado and will take an official visit to USC next week. LSU will host him on an official visit on Sept. 24. Williams is keeping his recruitment very close to the vest and even the schools involved are a bit in the dark about what he is thinking. Arizona is in a strong position, but he is not the type of recruit who is looking for all the usual things recruits at his level are looking for in a program. His older brother spent his career at Santa Clara and made it to the NBA, so he is not going to be wowed by brand names or things along those lines. He really is looking for the right fit, so his recruitment could end up going any number of ways.

Four-star California wing Carter Bryant is the top priority in the 2024 class, and he is at a new school this year. That didn't stop Tommy Lloyd from making the stop by Newport Beach to check in on Bryant, who has grown up an Arizona fan. His recruitment has exploded and more schools are continuing to get into the mix, such as Duke, but Arizona is still the early top contender in his recruitment. He fits what the staff is looking for in every way and will continue to be a top priority for the Wildcats as the process moves ahead. He is one of the recruits expected to be on campus for the Red-Blue Game in a few weeks.
