Arizona, UCLA Lead Pac-12 Recruiting Resurgence

Sep 30, 2011 12:32 PM

Arizona and UCLA have combined to secure commitments from six of the top-100 recruits in the class of 2012.

"The Pac-12 has been down for a couple of years, but the classes that UCLA and Arizona are bringing in provide an immediate talent boost to the conference," CBSSports.com college basketball writer and recruiting analyst Jeff Borzello said. "There was a lack of bonafide five-star prospects within the league, but Arizona is bringing in at least two, with Kaleb Tarczewski still considering the Wildcats. (No. 1 overall prospect) Shabazz Muhammad is still in play for the Bruins.

"The talent influx in Westwood and Tucson mean those two could fight for Final Four berths again within two years."
