"Arizona was the best fit for me and my family. Coach (Tommy) Lloyd is a great guy. They have been recruiting me for a while. He allows his players to play both up and down, but they also execute within a structured framework. Everyone is held accountable. Their style of play is smart and aggressive… I love the fan base. I've been to a few of their games. There is great energy in the McKale Center. It's a basketball school."
Berries wrapped up his high school basketball journey at the McDonald's All-American Game on Apr. 1. It is now clear that he will be joining the Arizona Wildcats and playing college-level basketball next season.
