Five-star PG Kylan Boswell reclassifies, will join Arizona this season

The Arizona men’s basketball team will get the services of five-star point guard Kylan Boswell a year earlier than expected.

After losing three players to the NBA draft, the University of Arizona Wildcats were staring down the barrel of a retooling. Their 2022 class had three high school players ranked highly by 247Sports, but it could still use some more bite to compete with some of the schools who recruited the top-ranked players.

On Wednesday, the Wildcats got that bite. Five-star point guard Kylan Boswell, a 6-foot-1, 180-pound player at Compass Prep (Chandler, Ariz.) announced that he has reclassified from the class of 2023 to the class of 2022.

He will be eligible to play for Arizona this coming season.

His father, Brandon Boswell, told 247Sports that the guard will play as a backup and get acclimated to college.

“We think that for his development we want to get him into that environment now and do what he needs to do to be able to help there and get ready for what is potentially a professional career,” the dad said to the recruiting outlet.

Arizona’s class now consists of Dylan Anderson, a 7-foot-tall, four-star local Arizona high school player; Serbian wing Filip Borovicanin, a Serbian who is ranked as a four-star player on 247Sports but not ranked on the site’s composite; and center Henri Veesaar, ranked 247Sports’ No. 35 player in the class but is unranked on the composite.

The Wildcats also have two transfer players in Courtney Ramey (Texas) and Cedric Henderson Jr. (Campbell).

Boswell is ranked as the No. 24 player in the class of 2022 by 247Sports.

4-star RB Rayshon Luke commits to Arizona, wins All-American Bowl MVP

Arizona football got another win for its best-ever recruiting class, picking up All-American Bowl MVP and four-star RB Rayshon Luke.

The University of Arizona is getting a football boost.

The last two years have not been kind to the Wildcats, but Saturday shined a light on a more positive future for the program. Rayshon Luke, a four-star running back out of St. John Bosco (Bellflower, Calif.), committed to Arizona during halftime of the All-American Bowl and then finished his day by being crowned MVP of the all-star game.

Luke had a 22-yard receiving touchdown and then put on a burst to go for 64 yards on a rushing score. The 5-foot-8, 175-pound running back helped the West team take home the 33-14 victory.

Luke is ranked as the No. 20 running back and No. 24 player in California in the 247Sports Composite for the 2022 class. He finished the season with 944 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns on just 76 carries.

This offseason has been quite a turn of events for the Arizona recruiting class. The Wildcats also nabbed Tetairoa McMillan, a four-star pass catcher ranked in the top 50 overall and top 5 in California, a huge coup for the school.

McMillan, Luke and three other four-star commits could mark a turning point for the Wildcats program. McMillan is the top-ranked Arizona recruit of all-time, but these signings mean more to the school than just that. Over the five classes from 2017-21, the Wildcats recruited just two players ranked as top-400 players. This year, they have five.

With a record of 1-16 over the last two seasons, Arizona needed a win. Seeing Luke commit and then get crowned MVP is among the biggest victories head coach Jedd Fisch has had in his year at the helm.
