Collegiate Baseball magazine ranksΒ Jay Johnsonβs first full Arizona recruiting class No. 4 nationally. It lists ASU No. 1. The intrigue is that the Sun Devilsβ class includes former UA infielderΒ Jackson Willeford, who played underΒ Andy LopezΒ in 2013 but only started six games before injuring his elbow and transferring to Cypress College in Southern California. Willeford, a fifth-year senior, has one year of eligibility remaining and indicated he would like to return to Tucson. But Johnson chose to give a more substantial scholarship package to Las Vegas infielderΒ Nick Quintana, who is ranked as the nationβs No. 6 overall recruit in the Class of 2016 by Perfect Game Baseball, and No. 2 overall in the Pac-12.Β
