Aaron Gordon to Arizona

The #4 recruit in the 2013 class as rated by ESPN, Power Forward Aaron Gordon, (Archbishop Military High School, San Jose, CA) has verbally committed to Arizona. Gordon is the second top 20 recruit and All-American the Wildcats have landed. The other is Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, a Small Forward out of Chester High School in Chester, PA., rated #16 in the class of 2013 by ESPN. Gordon and Hollis-Jefferson committing to Arizona will fill the voids left by the departure of seniors Kevin Parrom and Solomon Hill. Mark Lyons, the Wildcats star point guard will also be leaving. Gordon had offers from Washington, Kentucky, and Oregon, visiting every school but the latter. With Julius Randle (#3 in ESPN 2013) committing to Kentucky, the chances of being an outright star and playing big minutes in Lexington blue seemed unlikely. With Gordon gone, the lone standing top prospect left unclaimed is Andrew Wiggins (#1 ESPN 2013). Wiggins is still considering where to go, Kansas, North Carolina, Kentucky and Florida State are all on his list, and Wiggins has visited each school except Kentucky.
