Wes Ball, a 6-foot-9 sophomore standout from Pima College, has become one of the hottest post prospects in the country. After an exceptional season with the Aztecs, Ball has garnered significant attention, including a coveted offer from the University of Kansas.
Ball played a pivotal role in Pima College’s record-breaking season. The Aztecs finished with an 18-0 undefeated conference record in the ACCAC and an overall record of 35-1, finishing third in the nation among Division-II junior college programs.
On the court, Ball averaged 12.7 points, 7.9 rebounds per game, and shot 62% from the field. He also demonstrated a versatile offensive game, shooting an impressive 46.7% from three-point range and 81.8% from the free-throw line.
Ball’s combination of size, skill, and shooting touch makes him one of the most sought-after post prospects in the country. With a scarcity of high-level post players available, Ball’s stock has skyrocketed, and he’s now being heavily recruited by numerous Division-I programs.
Among these suitors, the University of Kansas stands out, having extended a significant offer. Kansas, known for its storied basketball tradition and competitive presence in the Big 12, would be a monumental next step for Ball. Although he has yet to make his college decision, Kansas is seen as a strong contender, and his recruitment remains one of the most closely watched stories this offseason.
It is still unclear as to when Ball will make his college decision, but I will continue to follow this story closely and bring you any updates as they continue to develop.
