𝘽𝙍𝙀𝘼𝙆𝙄𝙉𝙂: Cameron Holmes 4🌟 2026 SF Has Committed To Arizona!
In a move that electrifies the University of Arizona's 2026 recruiting class, four-star small forward Cameron Holmes announced his commitment to the Wildcats on November 9, 2025, selecting Tucson over finalists Dayton and North Carolina. The 6-foot-6, 190-pound standout from Millennium High School in Goodyear, Arizona—ranked No. 32 overall and No. 13 among small forwards in the 247Sports Composite—becomes the program's first pledge for the cycle, bolstering a roster already fresh off the No. 3-ranked 2025 class under head coach Tommy Lloyd. Holmes, who averaged 18.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game as a junior while shooting 48% from the field and 36% from three, brings versatile scoring at all three levels, elite perimeter defense, and impressive footwork honed on the Arizona Unity EYBL circuit.
His decision caps a whirlwind recruitment that saw offers from blue-bloods like Gonzaga, Texas, and Illinois, but Arizona's in-state pull and Lloyd's track record of developing local stars proved decisive.Holmes' choice carries extra weight as the younger brother of Denver Nuggets forward DaRon Holmes II, the former Dayton star who dropped 23 points on Arizona in the 2024 NCAA Tournament's Round of 32. "Arizona's a great school, great coaching staff, great environment," Holmes told ZAGSBLOG in July 2025, highlighting the bonds he formed during in-home visits and a planned official trip for the Wildcats' December 6 showdown with Auburn. Coach Lloyd echoed the excitement, stating, "Cameron is a dynamic wing with NBA bloodlines and Arizona roots—we're thrilled to welcome him home and build our future around talents like him." This commitment not only fortifies Arizona's Big 12 presence but signals momentum in retaining the state's top prep stars, positioning the Wildcats for another elite haul.

Welcome to the Wildcat Nation!
Another great start to a recruiting class. Our staff obviously earned his trust, considering the fact that he didn't follow in his bro's footsteps.
Excited to see arizona lock up cam holmes, I was hoping to also land cam williams, but it's looking like he will go to duke.
Welcome to the family that is Arizona Cameron!
We are glad to have you on board!
I am happy to see Lloyd take an inside-out strategy when it comes to recruiting Arizona for Arizona.
Peat in 2025.
Holmes and possibly more in 2026?
You are checking off a lot of the boxes to continue to push Arizona in the right direction Mr. Lloyd.
So far, you are proving me wrong about you not being the right man for this job.
I apologize coach!
