After two years in Tucson, Alex Barcello is looking for a new home.

I want to say Thank You to the University of Arizona and the fans for these past two amazing years but I have decided it’s in my best interest to move in a direction that’s best for myself and my family.

The former Corona del Sol star and one of the most decorated prep players in Arizona high school history averaged 2.9 points per game (9.6 minutes played per game) in 51 career games with the Wildcats.

The former four-star recruit will likely have to sit out the upcoming season. Barcello will have two years of eligibility remaining.

The 6-foot-2 guard helped lead the Aztecs two state championships and was also a two-time Gatorade Player of the Year winner.

Arizona signed two of the top prep guards in the 2019 class in Pinnacle High point guard Nico Mannion and Josh Green, who starred at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. However, the ‘Cats did lose Terry Armstrong when he recently announced he was skipping college to turn pro.
