Some thoughts on the group. It's a strong list for Arizona and the Wildcats wouldn't be bringing in this many bigger names if it didn't have a good feeling about the game. It's just the way the staff works. You'll see less visitors when it has the potential to go bad for the Wildcats. Getting the commits on campus for the game is always going to be important but the standouts of the list for me are the two offensive linemen. Ramos is someone the staff is fighting for until the bitter end. Jim Michalczik wants him and is not giving up on the in-state offensive lineman.
Then Bell is someone Arizona identified early and jumped on board with and to get him on campus is big after his commitment to Alabama. He's obviously the highest-rated of the bunch and a Rivals250, four-star prospect but it is a good thing to be able to get him on campus AFTER he commits to the top program in the country.
Peters is also an interesting one and although he's waiting it out to see what other schools offer getting him out again is important. As of now I'd say Arizona has a good handle on the lead for him because of all his ties to the school and program but it is by no means over yet.
Harris was at the opener and has been a staple at practice, but getting him out is always going to be important. I'm tempted to put Adams on commitment watch. I'm hoping to touch base with him tonight to get a feel for where his head is at with his recruitment.
