Arizona Wildcats may sign 2 sons of former NBA Finals MVPs
The Arizona Wildcats may sign the sons of two former NBA Finals MVPs in the 2025 recruiting cycle.
Arizona has already secured the commitment of Sierra Canyon (California) three-star shooting guard Bryce James, the son of LeBron James.
But another marquee name may soon join the fold.
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.
Here’s what 247Sports had to say about Iguodala II as a prospect:
“The son of four-time NBA champion and 19-year NBA veteran Andre Iguodala, Andre Iguodala II is a late-blooming prospect with significant upside.”
“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.”
The 2026 NFL Draft is over, but the 2026 NFL schedule is here!
While Arizona Cardinals fans should be excited about Jeremiyah Love and all the new additions, the release of the regular season schedule turns a mere daydream of fall into a more concrete 17-game reality check.
The Cardinals finished last season 3-14, missed the playoffs, and now have a new path towards the postseason.

Arizona’s natural wonders: See the state’s most iconic sites
Arizona’s diverse geography has created some incredible features. Take a look at the best, including Sedona’s red rocks and the Grand Canyon, of course.
The Republic
Despite its desert reputation, Arizona has several exciting roller coaster attractions that make it a fun destination for thrill seekers. One of the best-known rides is the Desert Storm coaster at Castles N’ Coasters in Phoenix.
Arizona is also home to two popular mountain coasters located in the cooler mountain regions of the state.
Mountain coasters are gravity-powered rides built along hillsides or mountains. Riders sit in individual carts attached to a track and control their own speed using hand brakes. Unlike traditional roller coasters, mountain coasters often wind through forests and natural scenery, creating a mix of adventure ride and scenic experiences.
And Arizona is lucky enough to have two mountain coasters. Here’s how to visit.
What roller coaster is in the mountains in Arizona?
There are two mountain coasters in Arizona: the Canyon Coaster Adventure Park in Williams and the Sunrise Apache Alpine Coaster at Sunrise ski resort.
Canyon Coaster Adventure Park in Williams AZ
Canyon Coaster Adventure Park features the Canyon Coaster, which spans 1 mile with a scenic mountain backdrop. It has a peak height of 35 feet and is integrated into the natural curves of the landscape. The 13-acre park also offers tubing across 400 feet of track in summer and snow-covered slopes in winter, facilitated by two conveyor lifts. There’s also a restaurant and bar.
Where: 700 E. Route 66, Williams, Arizona.
When: 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 10 a.m.-7p.m. Fridays-Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday year-round.
Admission: The Canyon Coaster costs $20 per person per ride. Riders must be over 4 feet, 5 inches tall. Children who are at least 3 years old and 38-54 inches tall ride for $10 with a driver who is 18 or older. Visit the website for other attractions and pricing.
Details: 928-707-7729, canyoncoasteradventurepark.com.
Sunrise Apache Alpine Coaster at Sunrise ski resort
Spanning over half a mile with 3,287 feet of track, the coaster’s carts can reach up to 25 mph. Hand brakes let you choose a mellow or zippy ride. Sunrise Park has skiing and other snow activities in winter, plus mountain biking, scenic chair lift rides and more in summer. Dining options include a restaurant and pub.
Where: Sunrise Park Resort, 200 State Route 273, on the Fort Apache Reservation near Greer.
When: 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Friday-Sunday, closed Monday-Thursday. Open every day starting June 2026.
Admission: $19 per ride or buy two rides for $38 and get a third ride free. Tickets are available in person. See the Sunrise Park website for other seasonal activities and prices.
Details: 928-735-7669, sunrise.ski/apache-coaster.

Last night was the seventh consecutive game where the Diamondbacks were held to six hits or fewer. That ties a franchise record, last done in April 2022, and previously in August 2011. The team’s .477 OPS over that time is actually lower than either streak, though due to the efforts of the pitching staff, Arizona are actually 3-4 during the current run. They went 2-5 in 2022, and 1-6 in 2011. There hasn’t been a longer streak in the majors since the Angels went nine in April last year. In the National League, the Pirates went eight in June 2023. And in case you are wondering, the last team to reach a double-digit streak of games with 6 or fewer hits each time? The 1968 Astros reached 11, the year before the mound was lowered.
Let’s hope the D-backs render that moot and the offense comes to life a bit. The three runs added in garbage time last night, because one of the Rangers’ relievers couldn’t find the strike-zone, certainly padded Arizona’s resume. But they were more because of walks than hits. I’ve no doubt the team will hit better. They have batted .152 over the past week. It’s the second lowest in franchise history for a seven-game span. The only worse was April 7-15, 2022 when Arizona hit a remarkable .135, going 28-for-208 in that span. They actually scored three more runs than the current streak, mostly because they had twice as many home-runs (6-3).
