Arizona 1, Princeton and Yale 0.
The Arizona Wildcats landed a recruit Saturday morning, when Houston running back Michael Wiley verbally committed to the UA's 2019 recruiting class. Wiley, a two-star recruit, chose the UA over offers from Princeton, Yale and McNeese State.

There's reason to believe Wiley is more than just a space-filler. As a junior at respected Strake Jesuit High School, the 5-foot-10-inch, 175-pound Wiley rushed 154 times for 1,063 yards and 10 touchdowns. He also caught 20 passes for 205 yards and three scores.
Saturday's commitment is another sign that Sumlin plans to recruit Texas heavily in his first season as head coach. Arizona now has three recruits for 2019; two hail from Texas.
