Withey means UA finally lands elite big man

Despite already having a successful recruiting class, Arizona fans knew that one piece was missing.

The need for a big time post player in the UA program was obvious and while there were a handful of targets out there, when Jeff Withey became an option, it seemed to be the only one out there as far as the coaches and fans were concerned.

That is why when Withey committed to Arizona, it not only put a lot of doubts to rest, but it also set a precedent. Withey became the highest rated big man that Arizona has ever landed out of high school, and let the rest of the country know that the question the UA has seemingly had in year's past had been answered.
