Carter Bryant, right, and Jamari Phillips, left, played together for the Paul George Elite club on the Nike circuit. The pair have committed to play for Tommy Lloyd at Arizona starting this fall.

Five-star forward Carter Bryant signed his national letter-of-intent to play for Arizona next season, while fellow 2024 commits Jamari Phillips and Emmanuel Stephen are also expected to later Wednesday.

Bryant signed his NLI at a ceremony at Corona (Calif.) Centennial High School, while Glendale Dream City is expected to have a similar signing event on Thursday in which Phillips and Stephen are scheduled to sign.

Phillips played for AZ Compass Prep last season but transferred on Oct. 27 to Glendale Dream City, his father said, and will play with Stephen there this season. Phillips and Carter played together on the Nike circuit over the spring and summer with the Paul George Elite club.

Together, the three commits give Arizona what On3 has ranked the No. 4 recruiting class nationally, while 247 ranks it No. 5 and Rivals has Arizona’s class at No. 7.
