The Oregon Ducks still have one of the highest ranked recruiting classes in program history despite Brandon Williams recommitting to Arizona.

Willams was a hot commodity back in June of 2017. Last year the Oregon Ducks were among several suitors looking for the services of the 5-Star Point Guard. Williams had Oregon and Arizona in his top three. In the end, the Wildcats picked up his commitment. Earlier this year, Arizona Head Coach Sean Miller was reportedly caught on a wiretap according to ESPN.

The Oregon Ducks hosted Arizona the weekend the news broke and Brandon Williams de-committed from Arizona before the end of the weekend. The Ducks won the home game at Matthew Knight Arena. Oregon Head Coach Dana Altman would liked to have had Williams in the fold, but he re-committed to the Arizona Wildcats during the BallisLife All-American Three-Point Contest.

Williams is 6 foot 2 and 185 pounds out of Crepi High School in Encino, California. With the addition of the 5-Star Point Guard, Sean Miller has two scholarships to work with for the upcoming 2018-19 season. He is in talks with another 5-Star talent in Jordan Brown according to the Arizona Daily Star. Brown also took an official visit to Cal.

Arizona recently added two Graduate Transfers including Point Guard Justin Coleman and Forward Ryan Luther. Recruiting for Graduate Transfers is beginning to take center stage in the Pac-12 as teams try to sort out rosters following NBA and Graduate departures.

The Oregon Ducks still have one of the top recruiting classes for 2018. Arizona just entered the Top 20 with their latest additions to the roster, including the recommitment of Brandon Williams.
