Arizona has been hard after Bruce Judson since January, and it appears he might be nearing a decision.

Judson, a four-star athlete from Cocoa, Florida, had a good unofficial visit to Arizona's campus back in February, but has been fairly busy on his own recruiting trail, as he's visited UCF, Florida (three times), Georgia, Auburn, Florida State, Pittsburgh and South Florida since then.

Recently he released a Top-10 list, and Arizona was on it, along with Florida, TCU, UCF, Auburn, Pittsburgh, Virginia Tech, South Carolina, Alabama, Michigan State.

It seems as though the favorites for Judson are Florida, Pittsburgh, UCF and South Florida, with Arizona on the outside looking in. 

Monday, Judson tweeted "I think it's time to make a decision," although it's unclear when he might do so.

To Arizona's advantage, though, 2017 quarterback commit Braxton Burmeister has been pushing his old friend to join him in Tucson.

Burmeister and Judson have known each other since 8th grade when they both attended a camp at Florida's campus.

"We hung out the whole time there (at the Florida camp) and ever since then we’ve just been talking on social media," Burmeister told the Star. "I’ve been in his ear. I’m trying. He definitely enjoyed his visit, and he really likes Arizona. He's not faking that."

The Wildcats class currently sits at 24 commitments, but Judson is the type of recruit that Arizona takes on and worries about making the numbers work later. He played quarterback at Cocoa but has the versatility to play a number of other positions in college. Scout.com rates him the No. 29 athlete in the country and No. 3 in Florida. 

Judson was originally committed to play at Ohio State, but re-opened his recruitment in October.
