Brewster Academy senior center Lukas Kisunas of Lithuania will visit Arizona next week, according to Brewster coach Jason Smith.

Kisunas may also visit Stanford, Smith posted on Twitter, having been released from his letter-of-intent to play for UConn in the wake of Kevin Ollie's firing.

Smith told 247Sports that Kisunas is a skilled big man who had a strong senior season. He is rated No. 191 overall by 247Sports but ESPN has him at No. 80, in the four-star range.

"Lukas is a legit 6-foot-9 and 250 pounds and played very well for us on the interior," Smith told 247Sports. "I think he is very tough and physical on the defensive end. He was one of our best ball screen defenders, and then he is also strong enough and big enough to defend in the post."

Former UA guard Justin Simon, now of St. John's, played his final year of high school ball at Brewster.


Arizona has set the Lute Olson statue unveiling for Thursday between 4:30-6 p.m., on the Eddie Lynch Pavilion outside McKale Center's north doors.

The event is not open to the public but will be streamed here. UA athletic director Dave Heeke and Olson are among the scheduled speakers.


Dusan Ristic may be getting the ball from ASU's Tra Holder, of all people, during the Portsmouth Invitational this week in Virginia. Ristic and Holder will play for Team 8, which opens on Thursday at 6 p.m. 

The game will be streamed on NetCast Sports (though details are not yet available). Rosters and schedules are now up on the Portsmouth Invitational's website.


Bennie Boatwright will return to USC, according to FanRag.
