Arizona landed its third Class of 2019 pledge Thursday, receiving a commitment from 5-star prospect Josh Green of IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.).

A native of Australia, the 6-foot-6 wing checks in as the No. 10 overall player in the senior class according to 247Sports.
Green averaged over 20 points per game last summer in the Under Armour Association for West Coast Elite.

Arizona also has 2019 commitments from the nation's top point guard prospect Nico Mannion of Pinnacle (Phoenix, Ariz.) and talented 7-foot center Christian Koloko of Sierra Canyon (Chatsworth, Calif.).

Green chose the Wildcats over North Carolina in a hotly-contested recruiting battle two weeks after taking an official visit to Chapel Hill.
