"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Five-star center&amp;nbsp;DeAndre&amp;nbsp;Ayton&amp;nbsp;has committed to Arizona, he announced on SportsCenter&amp;nbsp;Tuesday evening.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The seven-foot Bahamian prospect is Scout.com\u2019s No. 1 overall recruit in the 2017 class. His commitment came somewhat surprisingly on Tuesday, with little fanfare ahead of the decision.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ayton&amp;nbsp;plays at Hillcrest Academy in Arizona, where he transferred ahead of his junior year. A physical, true center with the athletic tools to succeed at the college level, he is a surefire NBA prospect and at this stage, a near-lock for the top of the draft whenever he declares.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;DAVIS: Inside Ayton\u2019s rise to No. 1 prospect&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In picking the Wildcats and head coach Sean Miller,&amp;nbsp;Ayton remains close to his current home. He is Arizona\u2019s second commitment in the 2017 class, joining four-star guard Alex Barcello. His decision comes as somewhat of a surprise, with general consensus centered on Kansas and Kentucky, his other two choices.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-&amp;nbsp;&lt;em &gt;Jeremy Woo&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
