Good sign for the 2025 3🌟.& Arizona.
Does he currently hold an offer from us ?
UofA official offer should be coming soon.
Is he Arizona good, like his dad was?
Over the weekend, the Wildcats hosted Link Academy (Missouri) three-star small forward Andre Iguodala II on an official visit.
The 6-foot-7, 185-pound wing is the son of former Arizona star Andre Iguodala, who won NBA Finals MVP with the Golden State Warriors in 2015.
Turns out, Arizona made quite an impression with Iguodala.
"The visit to Arizona was great," he said. "I've been as a recruit and just for fun... and I loved the environment."
While some may be hesistent to enter into one's famous father's shadow at his former college, Iguodala II is intrigued by the possibility.
It could give him a chance to write his own chapter.
"It would be great to go to my dad's alma mater, not because my dad went there, but to create my own legacy," he said.
Iguodala II doesn't have any other trips planned and said he'll make a college decision "when I feel it's right."
If that ends up being Arizona, it would give Arizona two sons of NBA Finals legends to go along with Brewster Academy (New Hampshire) five-star center Dwayne Aristode, the nation's No. 24 overall prospect.
On Lil Iggy
"While he's still on the thin side and will need to focus on the weight room when he gets to college, Iguodala is an elite mover with well above average athleticism. He runs extremely well in transition, he changes directions laterally and he has outstanding length to go along with this 6-foot-7 and growing size. A bit of a tweener, he can play as a big wing or as a small ball four man. As a senior, he's developed significantly as a jump shooter and has turned into a dangerous spot up shooter with range beyond the three-point line."
I love it. His dad was a hard worker with a fun personality that pushed everybody on the team to be better.
Based on the interview, it appears that his kiddo has the same mentality. PLEASE bring him in!
Lloyd is going to have to figure out a way to recruit and retain quality role players if he wants to take Arizona to the next level.
If not, this program will continue to max out as a second weekend NCAA tourney program.
Igoudala/James are good prospects that would most likely stay at Arizona because (1) they are not there for the exposure/money and (2) I am sure there is another.....I can't finish that statement.
Both prospects would be good for Lloyd and for Arizona.

6'7" 185 (If legitimately a true 6'7") is not really "thin".
Weight can shoot up quickly. Having the true Height is actually a good thing. If Deuce has any talent for shooting, leaping/dunking, passing, or defense then he could quickly become a 4 star prospect and heat up.
It only takes 1 summer of strength and conditioning to put on 15-25lb of "good weight" and with the frame in place, if you keep your agility... then you have something to work with.
Also, people really sleep on Iggy's legacy. If not for Lebron, Iggy may have been the best "2 Decade" player in recent times. He made 5 straight Finals. He won a FMVP over Lebron directly. He has the Olympic Medals. He's extremely underrated "All-Time".
I welcome this kid everyday. I love these kids coming where their Dads and Moms played.
