5-star G Brayden Burries commits to Arizona
Five-star combo guard Brayden Burries, the 11th-best prospect in the Class of 2025, committed to Arizona on Wednesday.
The 6-foot-4 player out of Roosevelt High School in San Bernardino, Calif., chose the Wildcats over Alabama, Oregon, Tennessee and Southern Cal among 31 offers.
Burries gives Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd his second 5-star recruit in two weeks, joining forward Koa Peat.
"The key factor was the trust with coach Lloyd and the staff," Burries said during his announcement on ESPN. "He's been on me for three years now and he lets his guards play. His playing style fits me perfectly."
Burries is the second-best combo guard and third-best player out of California in the class, according to the 247Sports composite rankings.
