My two cents: Wildcats' pursuit of Alkins continues
Arizona continues to pursue ESPN’s No. 15 basketball prospect in the Class of 2016, small forward Rawle Alkins of Brooklyn, New York.
For his first three high school seasons, Alkins played at the same school — Christ the King High School — and for the same coach, as former Arizona standout Khalid Reeves. Alkins is now at Word of God Christian Academy in Raleigh, N.C.
Recruiting is such a drama that sometimes you can’t tell up from down. Last week, Alkins told Jon Perez of jonperezsports.com, that he initially eliminated Arizona from his list because “I felt I wasn’t getting too much attention from them.”
“There are times when (Arizona) overly texts me and there are times when they don’t text me at all,” Alkins said. “So it’s inconsistent. So I told (Arizona) that I don’t like that. I’m the one that’s going to affect my recruitment. No one is making decisions for me. So if they’re not contacting me, I’m the player that’s supposed to be playing there. I wouldn’t want to go to a school where you don’t really feel like you’re there.”
No one ever said Sean Miller has an easy job.
