Of UA's other recruits, Estonian point guard Kerr Kriisa was 64, French post player Daniel Batcho was 104 and Turkish guard Tibet Gorener is No. 122. Tubelis' brother, Tautvilas, was not rated.
Terry is the only U.S.-based recruit in Arizona's seven-player class, though Gorener played in Southern California last season.
In Eurobasket's listing of the top non-U.S.-based players born in 2002, Tubelis rated No. 4, while French big man Daniel Batcho was 37 and Gorener 45. Estonian guard Kerr Kriisa ranks No. 18 among players born in 2001.
