that you just need a handful of top end guys to build one of best classes to fit its system. Right now the Wildcats are getting dangerously close to building that "perfect" class for what it wants to do. That means having top end talent at some key positions and filling the rest out with some guys who are potentially underrated but fit in very well.
You look at this class and there's some non-four-star guys who have a chance to be real ballers in this system such as JJ Taylor, Jacob Colacion, Isaiah Hayes, DeVaughn Cooper, etc. Sure as any coaching staff would Arizona would love to have a bunch of four and five-star guys, but it doesn't believe it absolutely HAS to have those types of players to be where it wants to be.
To me if you add some guys like Brandon Burton, Evan Weaver, Matthew Gutwald with maybe a Kahi Neves and potentially a Chase Lucas you have yourself the type of class Rich Rodriguez envisioned he could get at Arizona. You can win some games at Arizona with a group like that.
You start winning with that then the five-stars will come and then you have yourself a full-blown elite program. It's baby steps and definitely a process, but Arizona has kept this thing moving in the right direction. This season will be big.
