Campbell guard Cedric Henderson Jr. drives to the basket while Duke guard Jaylen Blakes defends during the first half of their Nov. 13 game. Henderson, the son of former Memphis player Cedric Henderson, committed to Arizona on Thursday.

Campbell grad transfer Cedric Henderson Jr. announced Thursday via Instagram that he has committed to Arizona.

A 6-foot-6-inch wing from Memphis, Henderson visited Arizona earlier this week and made the decision shortly afterward. He had also recently visited N.C. State and Texas Tech.

Cedric Henderson Jr. announced he has committed to Arizona.

Henderson averaged 14.0 points and 5.6 rebounds per game last season while shooting 38.4% from 3-point range and 53.8% from 2. He also proved himself during the Camels' only game against a high-major opponent, collecting 18 points and 11 rebounds in Campbell's 67-56 loss at Duke early last season.

After the season, Henderson was named an honorable mention pick in the Big South, which was the third set of five all-conference players. He then entered the NBA Draft and transfer portal, then withdrew from the draft before taking his official visits.

While Arizona now has 10 players hand as of now for 2022-23 but still needs another guard and/or big man after losing three starters to the NBA Draft and super senior guard Justin Kier to graduation. The Wildcats are also pursuing Texas guard Courtney Ramey, Illinois forward Jacob Grandison and WSU forward Efe Abogidi, among others.

On3 says its intel suggests that Ramey will commit to Arizona within a week. He is also considering West Virginia.
