As we creep closer to the 2021 season, some of Arizona's best remain uncommitted. Some of which have taken multiple visits this summer and have a "top schools of interest" list, while others still look to bust loose to drive in more offers throughout the fall. Regardless, these guys are very intriguing prospects to follow in terms of both talent and recruitment, and things will heat up in just a few weeks as we start the season. Here's a look at the top uncommitted talent in Arizona as we approach the 2021 season: <img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-74535" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2020/11/IMG_4950-rotated-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" />

Lucas is the #1 recruit in the 2022 class and remains uncommitted as we approach the season. He checks all the boxes as a multi-year starter at a P5 program, which is why he holds around 25 offers. He originally released his top 10 list back in April which included (in no order) Alabama, Georgia, Texas A&M, Florida State, Texas, Michigan, Notre Dame, USC, Oregon, and UCLA, and then later added LSU to his schools on interest. He also took a plethora of visits this summer, so it will be very interesting to see how his recruitment plays out from here.
