The Arizona Wildcats are coming off a Final Four appearance in a season in which their frontline battered most of their opponents. The Wildcats lost some of that frontcourt talent and depth this offseason, but received a recent commitment that will help fill the void.
USA TODAY's Greenville News and On3report that forward RJ Godfrey has committed to Arizona after a court ruling gave him a fifth year of eligibility. Godfrey spent three out of his previous four seasons in college basketball with Clemson, broken up by his junior season at Georgia.
Godfrey spent the first couple of years of his college career as a strategically used reserve before getting the chance to start during his years as an upperclassman.
