Arizona basketball recruiting: 2016 5-star forward T.J. Leaf decommits from Arizona - the Wildcats have other options, but now face some pressure to fill out the 2016 class

In some rather concerning news, 2016 5-star forward T.J. Leaf decommitted from Arizona and has reopened his recruitment process.

The forward from El Cajon, California was the only commitment that Sean Miller and the Arizona Wildcats had prior to Thursday night, and now they'll have to look elsewhere to fill out the 2016 recruiting class.

One "theory" of why Leaf revoked his commitment was because he was upset that he was cut from USA Basketball’s U19 World Championship Team - a team coached by none other than Sean Miller. It might've had something to do with it, but it's basically just internet speculation as of now.
