The Arizona Wildcats are one of 10 finalists for four-star forward Drew Timme, the 2019 recruit announced Thursday on Twitter.
Arizona is joined by Texas Tech, Gonzaga, Purdue, Louisville, Illinois, Alabama, Michigan State, Oklahoma, and Texas A&M.
Timme is a 6-foot-9 forward from Richardson, Texas. He has seen his stock rise lately, jumping into the Top-50 in his class. Back in June, when Arizona offered him, he was not even a top-100 prospect. The Wildcats watched him closely in Las Vegas this July.
Thanks to a sweat-soaked throwback-style headband that holds back his floppy hair, which complements his adolescent beard, which somehow aesthetically enhances his gangly -- but skilled -- back-to-the-basket arsenal, Drew Timme is the colorful image of a basketball nonconformist.
