I think that we have a great class coming in and we can do really big things.”</p> <p>Arizona will bring in a five-man recruiting class of Nnaji, <strong>Nico Mannion</strong>, <strong>Josh Green</strong>, <strong>Terry Armstrong</strong> <g class="gr_ gr_4 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep" id="4" data-gr-id="4">and</g> <strong>Christian Koloko</strong>.

They’ve been clear about everything. A lot that is floating around is just rumors that are trying to make us look bad. At the end of the day, I know that we’re innocent.” </p> <p>Nnaji impressed on Saturday during the first practice of the USA U-19 Training Camp.</p> <p>“I felt it was good,” he said. “I know nobody was here, but I’m still trying to take it seriously. My body was a little bit tight.” </p> <p>Nnaji is looking to make it onto the official, 12-member roster for the 2019 USA Basketball Men’s U19 World Cup Team, which will be selected by the USA Basketball Men’s Junior National Team Committee. </p> <p>“I’m just trying to show my versatility because I know that only 12 guys can make the team,” said Nnaji. “We’ve got a lot of guys here, so I’m trying to do whatever I can to show that whatever a coach needs, I can do.” </p> <p>Finalists for the team are expected to be announced on the morning of June 18, and the team will be named prior to its departure for the 2019 FIBA World Cup in Greece on June 24. The FIBA U19 World Cup will take place June 29-July 7 in Heraklion, Greece.<br> </p> <p><strong><a href="https://twitter.com/JacobPolacheck">Follow Jacob on Twitter</a></strong></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/AdamZagoria"><strong>Follow Adam Zagoria on Twitter</strong></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ZagsBlog/"><strong>And Like ZAGS on Facebook</strong></a></p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.zagsblog.com/2019/06/16/arizona-commit-zeke-nnaji-talks-expectations-addresses-potential-penalties/">Arizona commit Zeke Nnaji talks expectations, addresses potential penalties</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.zagsblog.com">Zagsblog</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.zagsblog.com/2019/06/16/arizona-commit-zeke-nnaji-talks-expectations-addresses-potential-penalties/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Nico Mannion reaffirms commitment to Arizona</title> <link>https://www.zagsblog.com/2019/02/20/nico-mannion-reaffirms-commitment-to-arizona/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=nico-mannion-reaffirms-commitment-to-arizona</link> <comments>https://www.zagsblog.com/2019/02/20/nico-mannion-reaffirms-commitment-to-arizona/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Jacob Polacheck]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 20 Feb 2019 19:34:02 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Arizona]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Recruiting]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Christian Koloko]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Josh Green]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mark Phelps]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Nico Mannion]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Terry Armstrong]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Zeke Nnaji]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.zagsblog.com/?p=185675</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p><img width="2048" height="1438" src="https://www.zagsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Nico_Mannion_3916-X4.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" srcset="https://www.zagsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Nico_Mannion_3916-X4.jpg 2048w, https://www.zagsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Nico_Mannion_3916-X4-300x211.jpg 300w, https://www.zagsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Nico_Mannion_3916-X4-768x539.jpg 768w, https://www.zagsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Nico_Mannion_3916-X4-1024x719.jpg 1024w, https://www.zagsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Nico_Mannion_3916-X4-1200x843.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px" /></p> <p>By JACOB POLACHECK Nico Mannion, the 6-foot-3 […]</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.zagsblog.com/2019/02/20/nico-mannion-reaffirms-commitment-to-arizona/">Nico Mannion reaffirms commitment to Arizona</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.zagsblog.com">Zagsblog</a>.</p> ]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img width="2048" height="1438" src="https://www.zagsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Nico_Mannion_3916-X4.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" srcset="https://www.zagsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Nico_Mannion_3916-X4.jpg 2048w, https://www.zagsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Nico_Mannion_3916-X4-300x211.jpg 300w, https://www.zagsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Nico_Mannion_3916-X4-768x539.jpg 768w, https://www.zagsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Nico_Mannion_3916-X4-1024x719.jpg 1024w, https://www.zagsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Nico_Mannion_3916-X4-1200x843.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px" /></p><p><strong>By JACOB POLACHECK</strong></p> <p><strong>Nico Mannion</strong>, the 6-foot-3 point guard from Pinnacle (AZ) High School, reaffirmed his commitment to Arizona, he told <a href="https://cronkitenews.azpbs.org/2019/02/19/doyle-high-school-nico-mannion/">Cronkite News on Tuesday</a>.</p> <p>Arizona is one of the schools tied to the <a>federal basketball scandal</a> where a formal NCAA inquiry has begun.

I’m really confident with all the coaching staff down there and the program,” he said. “With all the answers they’ve given us, I really have nothing to be worried about.”</p> <p>According to 247Sports, Mannion is ranked as the No. 10 overall player in the Class of 2019 and the No. 1 player from the state of Arizona. He is joined by <strong>Josh Green</strong>, <strong>Zeke Nnaji</strong>, <strong>Terry Armstrong</strong>, and <strong>Christian Koloko</strong> in Arizona’s 2019 class.</p> <p><strong><a

He will take his official visit to Arizona later this month (Oct. 11-13).</p> <p class="p1">“This is probably the biggest decision I’ve ever made,” said Green in the video. “I want to look back on it and make sure I made the right choice. I choose to be a Wildcat.”</p> <p>Green chose Arizona over his <a href="https://www.zagsblog.com/2018/09/12/josh-green-sets-two-official-visits/">final six</a> of North Carolina, Villanova, Kansas, USC, and UNLV.

I would be able to play a combo guard position, one and two, so just a great system for me to play in and a great conference.”</p> <p>According to <a href="https://247sports.com/Player/Josh-Green-46037279/">247Sports</a>, Green is ranked as the No. 10 and the No. 3 player from the state of Florida.
