Cameron Williams, 5-star forward, commits to Duke over Arizona
Cameron Williams, a highly sought-after prospect, has officially committed to Duke University. This 5-star forward announced his decision on Friday, choosing the Blue Devils over notable competitors Arizona and Texas.
Cameron Williams: A Promising Talent
Standing at 6 feet 11 inches, Williams is the highest-rated player from Arizona in the class of 2026. He is also recognized as the No. 4 recruit nationally. This commitment is seen as a significant addition to Duke’s basketball program.
Arizona’s Recruitment Efforts
Arizona’s coaching staff, led by Tommy Lloyd, was quick to recognize Williams’ potential. They extended an offer to him early in the year and facilitated an official visit to Tucson in mid-October. Williams was expected to be a key addition, marking the first time a top high school player would join Arizona since Deandre Ayton in 2017.
Despite missing out on Williams, Arizona is still in the competitive landscape for recruiting. The team is pursuing several top athletes to build a strong class.
Other Prospects for Arizona
- Brandon McCoy – 5-star guard from California
- Caleb Holt – 5-star guard from Florida
Arizona’s chances of securing a top recruiting class remain optimistic, with several promising candidates still in consideration.
