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."

Sep 27, 2011 11:01 AM

Arizona swingman Kevin Parrom was shot and wounded over the weekend while visiting his family in New York City, but his injuries do not appear to be serious.

The shooting at a residence in the Bronx followed a dispute that occurred about 1 a.m. Saturday, police officer Chris Pisano said. Parrom suffered gunshot wounds to his left hand and right knee, and was taken to a hospital in stable condition, Pisano said.

"[Parrom] looks forward to his return to Tucson and being back in class this week," said Arizona Coach Sean Miller, who has been in contact with his player. "Once we have more information, we'll be able to address his potential return to team activities."

"The magic is pretty much gone," said mother Shelly jokingly.

Shelly Gordon said Aaron was interested in staying in the West, so schools such as Washington, Oregon, Stanford, Cal, Arizona and New Mexico are on his list.
