According to multiple sources, Brandon Jennings, the top-rated point guard in the Class of 2008, will be headed to Arizona. “By taking a visit, I knew right then and there this was something I wanted to do,” Jennings said. “I got to meet the AD (Jim Livengood), the academic people and stuff like that." He also liked the lineage at Point Guard U. “I like all the point guards who came out of there -- they’re all stars in the league,” he said. “I believe Arizona can get me ready for the next level. Look at (Mike) Bibby, Jason Terry, Gilbert Arenas.”
“He’s going to be a Wildcat,” Jennings’ mother, Alice Knox, told the Tuscon Citizen. “He’s very excited about it and very comfortable with it.” One of Jennings' coaches, Kelly Williams, said that it came down to location. "He said he wants to be closer to home," he told Jeff Goodman of FOX Sports. "He wants to be closer so his mom and his family are able to come and see him play." Jennings originally committed to USC, but re-opened his recruitment and ended up choosing the Wildcats over Connecticut.
