Angelo Chol, top available big man, picks Arizona Wildcats - ESPN

Angelo Chol, the top available big man in the ESPNU 100, committed to Arizona over Alabama, Kansas, North Carolina and Washington on Thursday from the Hoover High School auditorium in San Diego, Calif.

"There were many reasons for my decision," said Chol. "[Coach Sean Miller] has had great success with players like Derek Brown (who played at Xavier and is now on the Charlotte Bobcats) and current Wildcat Derrick Williams and they feel I can be in the same mold."

Offensively, the long, athletic and left-hander possesses a sweet jump hook over his right shoulder, which is his go-to move inside and has improved each year under Hoover coach Ollie Goulston. He also goes after missed shots, has impressive footwork, brings energy to his team, consistently works on his jumper and is improving from behind the arc.

"Angelo is like a sponge, he listens and learns, along with a great work ethic," said Goulston. "The sky's the limit for him."

In a short period of time, Miller and the Wildcats are making a lot of noise on the recruiting front and with the addition of Chol they jump up to No. 8 in the class rankings from No. 12. He joins three other ESPNU 100 prospects to commit to Arizona in shooting guard Nick Johnson (Gilbert, Ariz./Findlay Prep), point guard Josiah Turner (Sacramento, Calif./Quality Education Academy) and power forward Sidiki Johnson (Bronx, N.Y./Oak Hill).

Sean Miller Is A Recruiting Genius!
