Arizona did not make the final list of schools for Richmond, Calif., guard Jabari Bird, according to his travel-team coach, Derrick Artis.
But the move is hardly a surprise, since Bird said last month (and has for a while) that California and Washington are leading.
Derrick Artis, Bird's coach with the Oakland Soldiers, said Bird is planning to visit Cal, Colorado, Washington and Oregon. Bird told Zagsblog he plans to take all the visits in September.
Artis said Soldiers forward Aaron Gordon is planning to visit Arizona this fall; Gordon told Scout.com he will do so for the Red-Blue scrimmage on Oct. 21.
Gordon has listed Kansas, Kentucky, Oregon and Washington among his other leaders.
