Arizona holds virtual visit with 5-star forward Paolo Banchero

The Arizona Wildcats are hosting a virtual visit with five-star forward Paolo Banchero on Tuesday, he told Jake Weingarten of StockRisers.com.

The Seattle native is the No. 4 player in the 2021 class, per 247Sports composite rankings. The 6-foot-8 forward announced his final six back in April, and Arizona was included along with Duke, Gonzaga, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Washington.

All eight Crystal Ball selections have him choosing Washington. The Wildcats offered Banchero in April and immediately made Banchero rethink his recruitment, possibly because of the impending hire of fellow Seattle native Jason Terry who is expected to become Arizona’s new assistant coach.
