Arizona offers 6'9 2020 4-Star Wing Osasere Ighodaro out of Phoenix. He's ranked No. 98 overall in the 2020 class. Ighodaro is considered the 17th-best power forward in the country and the No. 5 prospect in Arizona.

A 6'9 wing sounds wonderful!
I'd bring him in for an elite froncourt with good length and athleticism.
He will be added to the 2020 Prospect List.
Thank you
Agree mvp but would love to see outside shot in his repetoire. Not one attempt in his film.
Love his handles for a guy his size. It says above he's a PF so he'd play the same spot as Ira so while a three point shot would be nice it's not totally necessary, at least in college. He'd get good experience next year going up against Ira and Zeke and it's always nice to keep the in state guys at home.
He reminds me of a taller Brandon Ashley. I've seen him dominate games in the valley and he especially owned Jalen Graham who ASU is getting next season.

I understand the traditional logic, but we put AG at SF and just because he could attempt shots from the outside doesn't mean he was a "good" shooter.
We could put this kid at SF, allow the offense to create driving lanes for him to work.
It will never happen, but I like to maximize the versatility/athleticism of a prospect to completely shift the scale in favor or my squad.
Thanks for the update wild an mvpreed2 you do heck of a job updating the 2020 thread thanks love looking at it.
Much respect to Sean Miller an how hard he works to recruit players an if he is interested in this player I am sure he will get him I like way Sean Miller getting the talent from Phoenix an bringing them to be a wildcat.

Absolutely. This kid should be a priority.
Not only does he have a variety of ways to score, he dishes out creative assists...which is a huge asset.

The assists are nice too! Seems pretty skilled all around and with the 3 point line being moved out there will be more room for him to attack the basket and find guys cutting or on the wing.
Quick question for those willing to discuss, KCC mentioned his passing and playmaking ability, Eggdog mentioned his assists as well.
Would you be willing to bring him in play him at SF, or leave him at PF and try to pair him with another tall wing to try and exploit the SF/PF combo?
As long as we have two capable outside shooters, Ighodaro could be utilized as a SF in a big lineup. Although he shouldn't be taking 3's with the deeper arc, he would create some serious matchup problems.
I'd love to see him in the game with B-Will, Baker, Brown and Lee.
Oh not at all!
I should have made it more clear, OI would not be shooter in any lineup regardless.
I personally would like to see Miller go bigger instead of smaller.
A lot of teams are using the "4 Out,1 In" offensive scheme, but we were very good when we had AG/BA/KT as our starting frontcourt.
6'9/6'9/7'0 was very difficult to matchup and rebound against.
We were still able to push in transition and run a half-court set.
That's not happening though, but it doesn't hurt to dream.
I think what's great about him is he fits the type of positionless basketball being played more and more and he could come in as a wing or power forward depending on what Miller wants to do. He could take a big man on the wing and blow by him or post up on a smaller guy. I do like the idea of a big line-up like you suggested, we'd get all the boards and he looks like a good playmaker for his size. Kind of like what I expected from Akot but he looks more comfortable handling the ball, of course he's playing against high school players and not college ones.
My friend coach's Oso at Desert Vista. Basically he can bring the ball in transition, guard 1-5, good passer, good IQ, not a great shooter yet.
Welcome and thanks for the info Mdub. He looks smooth in his highlights.

I would say we have a pretty chance with him he may take an official visit after he took an unofficial visit we will see.
Arizona did not make his final 4 list. Looks like he's Stanford's to lose.

Any word why we did not make his list it seemed like Miller was actively recruiting him surprised that we are out.
