Still with immediate opportunity to offer graduate transfers next season, Arizona is hosting Campbell graduate transfer Cedric Henderson Jr. this week.

A 6-6 wing from Memphis, Henderson arrived Monday night and is visiting campus Tuesday. His visit was first reported by 247's Wildcat Authority and confirmed by the Star this morning.

Henderson averaged 14.0 points and 5.6 rebounds last season while shooting 38.4% from 3-point range and 53.8% from two. He was named an honorable mention pick in the Big South, which effectively means he was voted one of the league's top 15 players.

After the season, Henderson entered the NBA Draft and transfer portal, then withdrew from the draft. He reportedly visited N.C. State last month and Texas Tech last week.

Arizona has nine players on hand as of now for 2022-23 and at least two potential rotation spots open after losing three starters to the NBA Draft. The Wildcats are also pursuing Texas guard Courtney Ramey, Illinois forward Jacob Grandison and WSU forward Efe Abogidi.
