Former Ironwood Ridge standout forward Mitch Lightfoot narrowed his college choices to five finalists, and it is no surprise that the Arizona Wildcats are one of them.
Lightfoot, now a rising senior at Gilbert Christian High School, also listed Kansas, Utah, Stanford and St. John's on his Twitter post.
A four-star 2016 power forward who initially committed to New Mexico, Lightfoot decommitted from the Lobos in April and quickly picked up an offer from Arizona. He is regarded as a high-motor, energy guy around the basket who can shoot with some range.
