Television: Pac-12 Networks (Paul Sunderland/Matt Muehlebach)
Radio: Arizona IMG Sports Network (Brian Jeffries/Ryan Hansen)
Satellite Radio: Sirius 91; XM 91
Rankings: Arizona – No. 1 Associated Press/No. 1 USA Today Coaches Poll; Northern Arizona – Not ranked in either.
Aaron Gordon
Given the circumstances that Arizona coach Sean Miller’s team is balanced and Aaron Gordon has not yet found his stride, the freshman standout compares favorably with other standout freshmen.
The productivity rating posted to the left indicates that Kentucky’s Julius Randle is playing as advertised at Kentucky leading a list of talented freshmen. The list includes Rivals.com’s Top 10-ranked players in the Class of 2013.
ESPN.com college basketball writer Jeff Goodman ranks his Top 10 freshmen periodically. Goodman has Gordon ranked fourth behind Duke’s Jabari Parker, Randle and Syracuse’s Tyler Ennis (who was No. 22 in the Rivals Class of 2013 rankings).
The Sporting News’ Ryan Fagan also compiles “Fab Four” freshmen ranking of Randle, Parker, Gordon and Kansas’ Andrew Wiggins. Fagan rates Gordon third among that group.
