Turkish point guard Derin Erdogan commits to Arizona

The Arizona Wildcats’ 2019 recruiting class is loaded with international prospects, and the 2020 class is already following suit.

The UA have picked up a commitment from Turkish point guard Derin Erdogan, according to PassionHoops and confirmed by a source close to the program.

Erdogan is a 5-foot-6 point guard who plays for the Turkish national team. The lefty averaged 11.3 points, 6 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in the 2018 FIBA U16 World Championship, including a 20-point game against the Czech Republic.

Erdogan is UA’s first 2020 commitment. The Wildcats have signed four 2019 recruits, all of whom are from overseas, as Adia Barnes has proven she is willing to recruit anywhere to improve the talent level at Arizona.
