Arizona is loading up on talent for the 2025-26 season, adding Real Madrid forward Sidi Gueye to a recruiting class that already includes Bryce James and Koa Peat. Gueye told ESPN's Jonathan Givony he has committed to the Wildcats and praised head coach Tommy Lloyd as a key factor in his decision.

Social media raved about Sidi Gueye's potential with the Arizona Wildcats after the commitment from the international basketball player was reported.

Sidi Gueye, one of the top international prospects in his age group, told ESPN on Wednesday that he has committed to Arizona. "Coach [Tommy] Lloyd is one of the top coaches in college, and he has coached many international players before," Gueye told ESPN. "He made me feel comfortable and showed me how I can improve and produce in his system."
