Four-star forward from Southern California has included Arizona in his top five preferred schools and has planned a visit to Tucson on August 30-31, coinciding with the Wildcats’ Hall of Fame weekend.
He played under UA coach Tommy Lloyd with the USA Basketball U18 team earlier this summer, has also shortlisted Duke, North Carolina, Gonzaga, and UCLA as his final contenders.
According to On3, Nik Khamenia has planned visits to Arizona on August 31, North Carolina on September 6, and Duke on September 13, while 247 reports he will visit Gonzaga on October 6.
At the Section 7 event in Glendale this June, Khamenia emphasized that his decision would heavily depend on his relationships with the coaches.
“Those are the people you’re gonna be with every single day,” Khamenia said. “They’re gonna be your second family. So it matters a lot.”
The 6-7 forward from Harvard-Westlake High School in Studio City, California, averaged 7.7 points and 6.3 rebounds while shooting 38.5% from beyond the arc during USA’s gold medal run at the FIBA U18 AmeriCup in Buenos Aires earlier this summer, where Tommy Lloyd was the head coach.
