Three-star guard is first to join Arizona's 2017 class
When Sean Miller sets the wheels in motion for a plan he has a way of making it come to fruition. Mission accomplished Friday as the Wildcats added their first commit of the 2017 class when in-state guard Alex Barcello gave the program his pledge while on an official visit. The three-star prospect played well with the Oakland Soldiers during the travel ball season and Arizona was present at his games .. a lot.
In Las Vegas he became the top priority for Miller and his staff and from that point on the Wildcats had the upper hand in his recruitment.
The Wildcats offered the Tempe (Ariz.) Corona del Sol standout much earlier in the process, but his recruitment went through some ebbs and flows when it came to the in-state school. However, once Arizona made him one of its prime targets this summer things moved quickly and despite having a top five and taking two other official visits already he made his decision to end the process.
