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.

In the world of the Oregon Ducks, a lot of our attention stays on the football team, and lately, it’s been focused on the recruiting aspect of the sport. Every now and again, though, Dana Altman will give us a proverbial nudge and tell you that he is among the nation’s best at recruiting, as well.

On Tuesday, one of the top players in the 2023 recruiting class, 5-star point guard Kylan Boswell, announced his Top-8, including the Ducks in the mix. The Compass Prep player is listed as the No. 3 PG in the nation, and the No. 11 player overall, according to 247 Sports. 

The other 7 schools Boswell is considering are Texas Tech, UNLV, Arizona, Michigan, USC, Kansas, and Illinois.

The Ducks have already gotten a jump on the 2023 recruiting class, securing a verbal commitment from Jackson Shelstad, a 4-star guard out of West Linn, Oregon. Shelstad is the No. 1 ranked player in the state of Oregon, and No. 67 in the nation.
