The Wednesday announcement that Phoenix Compass Prep 2023 5-star point guard Kylan Boswell will reclassify to the 2022 class and join Arizona basketball for this coming season is important for a number of reasons. First, it’s time to fully trust Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd, because he’s been ahead of the curve every step of the way. From telling the Tucson…...
