Head coach Sean Miller has recruited multiple international prospects for 2020, getting Estonian guard Kerr Kriisa, French big Daniel Batcho and Turkish forward Tibet Gorener.
“I guess six years ago when I personally became involved with Team USA and USA Basketball and had my own experience with FIBA, I recognized not only the great talent that’s in the international game but the amazing skill level and coaching,” Miller told Arizona play-by-play man Brian Jeffries in an interview earlier this month.
