Ariza's Westchester Comets are set to take on Alijah Arenas' Chatsworth Chancellors on November 19 in the 2024-25 season opener. Alijah is the son of NBA legend Gilbert Arenas. The matchup between the second generation of two basketball legends is likely to be a treat for the fans.

Alijah Arenas is the No. 3 overall recruit in the Class of 2025. He boasted an average of 30.3 points per game with a 49.4% shooting percentage last season. Arenas has offers from over 15 schools across the nation. He is also the No. 1 prospect in California from the 2025 class.

On the other hand, Tajh Ariza is the No. 6 overall recruit in the Class of 2026. He is the second-best small forward and No. 5 overall in California. Over 10 institutions have made their offer to the former Los Angeles Lakers star's son. At 16, Ariza is already stamping his authority on court.

Which school will Tajh Ariza commit to?

The Washington Huskies and the USC Trojans were the first teams to offer Ariza a contract. According to On3, the 6-foot-7's possibility of joining the Trojans is 17.4%.

UCLA and UNV are following it closely, with 15.2% and 13% probabilities, respectively. Despite making the first offer, the Huskies are currently tied with Kansas with a 10.9% chance of landing Tajh Ariza.

Trevor Ariza opened up about the mental challenges his son faced as the son of an NBA legend in Slam High School's "A Day in the Life With" series.

"A dad that played professional sports, you got a target on your back. So, when he was younger, wasn't as confident in himself, he would feel that pressure a little bit, but once we started to work on our game, work on his game, the confidence started to come," Trevor revealed.

Tajh's graph seems to go upward only. Will the youngster earn more offers from other top colleges? Where will he end up? Let us know your thoughts!
