Or at least so it would seem.
Head coach Sean Miller's 2012 recruiting class is already ranked as the top collection of incoming talent in the country by many publications. Tuesday, the Arizona basketball program added another weapon to their arsenal for the future by adding guard T.J. McConnell, who will transfer to Tucson from Duquesne University.

McConnell, a 6-1 guard from Pittsburgh (Miller's old stomping ground), averaged 11.9 points per game as a sophomore and shot .432 from three-point range for the Dukes, who finished their season with a 16-15 record.
As a freshman in 2010-11, McConnell averaged just under 11 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.8 steals per game while being named the Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year.
McConnell was also considering Virginia and must sit out next season in accordance with NCAA transfer rules. He has two seasons of eligibility remaining.
