A couple basketball notes to get to today with some new developments for the current class the team is trying to build.
* First, Arizona is expected to have Belgian wing Omar Thielemans out for a visit starting tomorrow. He is currently making his way to Tucson from Belgium which is a long trek that has him in London at the moment.
The Wildcats have offered the versatile 6-foot-6 prospect who is a bit under-the-radar right now. He has a chance to be a hidden gem. International players are always going to be a gamble in a lot of regards, but it has worked out well with the Wildcats under Sean Miller.
The team is in a tough spot but it doesn't want to lower its expectations from a recruiting perspective too much and there is a lot to like from Thielemans on film. He's a new name to me and quite frankly there just isn't a ton of info out there about him, but he's someone the staff seems to like quite a bit and he would fit in well because of the versatility and length.
* In addition to that Samford grad transfer point guard Justin Coleman remains an option for the Wildcats as he looks at where he will go next. Coleman is a true 2018 point guard leading the Bulldogs in assists (6.6 apg) while finishing the year second in scoring with 13.5 points per game. Auburn, Marquette, SMU and Ohio State are some of the other notable programs involved while he will take a visit to Texas Southern this weekend.
Coleman was a Rivals150 prospect out of high school and played at Alabama before transferring to Samford. So, this will be his third school, but the 5-foot-10 recruit has a lot to like about his game.
