Four-star Vegas point guard Dedan Thomas Jr. is set to take an official visit to Arizona next week. He mentioned it to me recently and Rivals national recruiting analyst Travis Graf confirmed the visit for next week. Thomas has already taken multiple unofficial visits to Tucson previously with the last one coming in the fall before the start of the season. Thomas told me he is not ready to make a decision but is getting closer. He plans to see Florida next month then take things from there. There have been some hints that he could reclassify but for now he's a 2024 recruit. I watched him last month and will see him again tonight, and he is definitely impressive and someone who would fit in well with the Wildcats. Houston has been the favorite for a while now, but he does seem to be genuinely open to all the schools on his list. UCLA hosted for an official visit this winter plus he has UNLV and Gonzaga on his list as well.

The Wildcats have been involved as along as anyone, and he feels great about the relationship he has built with Tommy Lloyd's staff.

"I love the coaching staff. I've built a really great relationship with them. They've been recruiting me since I think eighth, ninth grade. So, I've been able to build a really great relationship with them.
"Their playing style is a really fun play style to play in, and they've built a winning culture over there over the past couple years."
