Abdrer Iguodala Jr. does not have any college offers yet, but after Arizona missed out on another former alum's son, Alijah Arenas, who went to USC, the Wildcats may want to get Iggy Jr. on board.

In October of last year, the three-star spoke with ZAGSBLOG about possibly going to his dad's alma mater:

“I like the style of play. The coaching staff treats me well whenever I’m there. And then I like the area. They have a good business school too. So academics is pretty important and that’s a big thing too. They develop pros," he explained.

"They brought in Carter Bryant this year. The squad is looking really good this year. I just like what [Tommy Lloyd] is doing with the players," he added. "The player development there, they can just develop me into a pro. That’s a big thing for me and obviously pretty important.”

Andre Iguodala Jr. has already officially visited Arizona, with the school being the likeliest he would land on. If he does, he will be teaming up with another NBA son, Bryce James, son of his dad's former Finals opponent, LeBron.
