T.J. Leaf, a 6-foot-10, 217-pound 2016 face-up forward from El Cajon (CA) Foothills Christian, has decommitted from Arizona.
“Yes, he did,” Brad Leaf, the player’s father, told SNY.tv.
It was first reported by Scout.com.
Leaf had committed last November.
The No. 3 power forward in the Class of 2016 according to 247Sports composite rankings, Leaf also considered UCLA, Duke, Michigan, Florida and San Diego.
“Great opportunity as a freshman,” Brad Leaf, the player’s father, said when his son first committed. “It was just the opportunity as a freshman coming in. They have a hole right there where his position is. They don’t have anybody at his position. In the 2015 recruiting class they don’t have a four. All the other guys that are there now, most of them will probably be gone. No use to waiting.
“We’re just looking for an opportunity to get on the court as a freshman and play major minutes.”
