Tommy Lloyd has seemingly done it again! Ivan Kharchenkov has been been one of the most sought after international prospect. Arizona seemingly has gained a commitment from the German-Russian talent.

Is he a better fit for the starting small forward role than Dwayne Aristode?

PLUS! Baseball has won the Eugene Super Regional after defeating Cal Poly with some record breaking performances, football gets a visit from a four star quarterback, Aari McDonald is Caitlyn Clark’s newest teammate, and so much more!
