Arizona has nabbed the highest-ranked recruit available on the ESPN 100.

Five-star guard Terrance Ferguson told Evan Daniels of Scout on Wednesday that he will take his talents to the desert and play for the Wildcats next season.

"I have a lot of trust in coach (Sean) Miller," Ferguson said. "He coached me at USA. He believed in me. He played me in the right style. They play the same style, run-and-gun. I love the style of play and just I love coach Miller as a coach."

Ferguson is ranked by ESPN as the No. 13 overall recruit in the 2016 prospect class. He comes to Arizona by way of Dallas, Texas and Advanced Prep International High School.

His addition gives the Wildcats the No. 3 recruiting class, behind only Kentucky and Duke. Ferguson joins fellow five-stars Lauri Markkanen, Rawle Alkins, and Kobi Simmons in Miller's star-studded class.

The 6-foot-7 Ferguson was formerly committed to Alabama.
