Arizona Wildcats basketball’s Jaden Bradley and Koa Peat were listed in the top 100 of the best players in college basketball ahead of the 2025-26 season, per ESPN’s Jeff Borzello and Myron Medcalf.

Borzello listed Peat as the 47th best player in college basketball headed into the season. He noted Peat as one of the most college-ready players in recent memory and his skillset makes him one of the top players to watch out for.

If Cameron Boozer is among the most decorated high school prospects in recent memory, Peat isn’t that far behind. He also won four state championships but also added four gold medals with USA Basketball to his trophy collection. Peat is physically ready for the college game, can score in a variety of ways, is a high-level rebounder and is unselfish.

Peat enters his freshman season at Arizona after winning his fourth high school championship with Perry High School during his senior year. He also won his fourth gold medal with USA Basketball at the FIBA U19 World Cup in July.

Peat was a five-star prospect coming out of high school and was ranked the top prospect in Arizona and 11th in the nation, according to 247 Sports. He was recently listed by ESPN as the 17th best newcomer in college basketball ahead of the season.

Bradley was listed by Medcalf as the 60th best player headed into the season. Medcalf said the senior guard’s play was a big factor behind Arizona’s run to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament last season.

The version of Arizona that got hot at the end of 2024-25? Bradley was a factor. Caleb Love deserves the praise he received, but Bradley averaged 12.8 points and 3.1 assists while making 53% of his 3-point attempts over the Wildcats’ last seven games of the season. The 6-3 guard should carry that momentum into 2025-26.

Bradley is coming off a strong 2024-25 campaign where he averaged 12.1 points, 3.7 assists and 3.4 rebounds while shooting 46.7% from the field and 32.1% from 3-point range. Bradley had a strong showing in the NCAA Tournament, averaging 15.3 points, four assists and 3.7 rebounds per game.
