Tajh Ariza schedules first official visit amid growing interest from top programs
Tajh Ariza has scheduled his first official college visit. The 6-foot-8 small forward will visit Oregon on September 6. Ariza is ranked No. 8 nationally, No. 3 among small forwards and No. 5 in California according to the On3 Industry Rankings.
Ariza holds offers from Kentucky, USC, Arkansas, Kansas and other schools. He previously took an unofficial visit to USC.
In an interview with On3 on May 18, talking about committing to a program, Ariza said:
“I don’t really have a set time for a commitment or any of that. I’m just weighing all of my options. It’s not going to happen for a little while. I’m weighing out my options and seeing what I have.”
Mark Pope, head coach of Kentucky, and Jason Hart, the assistant coach, have been pursuing Ariza persistently. Talking about Kentucky, the five-star forward said:
“Pope and Jason Hart talk to me every other day. They had a pretty good year considering they’re new to that environment. They did pretty well and made it to the tournament. They’re only going to get better.”
Despite strong interest from Kentucky, On3 currently gives Oregon a 63.4% chance of landing Ariza. USC follows at 19.7%, while Kentucky is at 1.3%.
