Vince Walden, the high school coach of Kyryl Natyazhko, confirmed via text message this morning that the 6-foot-10 center "will consider" following Sean Miller to Arizona. Natyazhko, considered the country's top uncommitted center, had narrowed his choices to ASU, Xavier, Pittsburgh and Ohio, but ASU and Xavier were considered the frontrunners just last week. Natyazhko has taken four of the five official visits allowed by the NCAA. He averaged 24 points and nine rebounds his senior season at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla.

I would guess that he follow's Miller to Arizona. I really think the Cats did well in hiring Miller. He's a good coach.

Natyazhko is almost as hard to pronounce as Huitzilopochtli.

I hope this kid(the recruit) is good.

He sounds talented, lets wait and see.

Xavier has been projected as a possible FINAL 4 team next season...he won't get that far if he goes to Zona!

It is your lazy tongue! My name has a beautiful rhythmic sound, very seductive. Consult you Wikipeda. You can say it with soft undulations of the tongue.

Now this other guy? You try to say his name and it sounds like you are jacked on meth and trying robbed a liquor store with a clothing pin on our tongue. Let's just call him "Bob."

And he'll start right away, get eleven times as much TV coverage, and the opportunity to become to Coach Miller what Sean Elliott was to Lute Olson.

U of A is point guard U! Dont waste time with the big men, get a ball handler. Just kidding, we need all the bodies we can get.

I don't know about more TV coverage. Xavier is a well respected and Nationally known program, just like AU. They have played in three Sweet 16 and two Elite 8 games the past 5 seasons and all of the 2008-09 regular season games were televised (contract with Fox Sports) with 10 of them televised Nationally (CBS, ESPN, ESPN2).

wammy, you're delusional if you think Xavier is on the same level as U of A. If it were, you'd still have your coach (or Thad Matta, or Skip Prosser, or Pete Gillen, etc.)
