NCAA Basketball: Updated way-too-early 2019-20 top-25

15. Arizona Wildcats

Arizona has had its fair share of controversy over the past couple of years but they have plenty of talent to be extremely successful during this coming season. In addition to returning the majority of their core contributors, head coach Sean Miller is also bringing in the No. 3 overall recruiting class in the country. The class, which consists of five players, is absolutely incredible and includes plenty of immediately impactful players. These include the likes of Nico Mannion (No. 1 PG), Josh Green (No. 3 SF), and Zeke Nnaji (No. 7 PF), all of whom project as major contributors in Year 1.

This roster also includes a fair amount of experience compared to past seasons. Chase Jeter and Brandon Williams are returning as major contributors from last year and they are also bringing in a talented graduate transfer guard in Max Hazzard from UC Irvine. With all of these pieces on the roster, it seems likely that the Wildcats will quickly put their tough season from a year ago behind them. Arizona has been one of the most consistent programs in the country over the past several years and they will get back on track this season.

Expectations are once again high for the Wildcats and it seems likely that they will be able to live up those hopes. This incoming recruiting class is incredible and they will join a couple of key pieces and an experienced transfer. Many expect that this will be one of the nation’s top offensive units behind two elite point guards in Mannion and Williams.
