Arizona Wildcats commit DeAndre Ayton excelling outside of state spotlight
Posted Mar 4, 2017
DeAndre Ayton plays in the national limelight. But in Arizona, there is no spotlight. There no student section engulfing the megastar. Because the AIA doesn't recognize Hillcrest, it isn't being considered for the eight-team Dick's Sporting Goods High School Nationals at the end of March in New York. Phoenix Shadow Mountain, which is 24-0, is among 12 teams nationally considered for it.
