Rivals has hm as the # 2 ranked player for 2023, that pretty cool!

Former Jefferson High player, like Silas Melson.

We're officially competing with Tommy for a kid, although I'm sure that are many more.

247 suggests he is also known as "Mookie."

Mookie likes GU. Been on campus for an unofficial already.

That dreaded Arizona logo keeps showing up. He's from Oregon so hopefully that helps.

[scrooner]

From what I've been reading Kentucky (Ty Ty went to same prep school) and Oregon seem to be the biggest competition. Regardless, that is a tough list of schools to beat out.

Tommy Lloyd is the next up and comer. He just brought the Zag system to Arizona, and you see what he is doing with it. They will be hard to beat not only with Cook, but with a lot of people, because a lot of these players listen to all that crap about Gonzaga is not that good they don't play anyone, you can't win a championship there. You hear this over and over east of the Mississippi. There are a lot of coaches that use this against the Zags when it comes to recruiting. Those coaches can't use that against Tommy and Arizona. Tommy will not only hamper Zag recruiting in the future, and a lot of other teams as well. I would think good players would love to play in this system, whether at Gonzaga or Arizona. I would love to see Tommy do well, but am a Zag fan first and foremost.

Yup - in a recruit's eyes Arizona is now everything that Gonzaga is, minus the negatives. Love the Zag's style? Come to Arizona, a school in a Power-5 conference, and play under the new hotness!
