Four-star class of 2022 guard Shaedon Sharpe of Glendale Dream City Christian arrived Wednesday for an unofficial visit to Arizona, the Star has confirmed.
A 6-foot-4, 175-pound shooting guard originally from London, Ontario, Sharpe visited Kentucky last weekend after receiving a lot of attention from UK and he has also become a top priority for Arizona.

Sharpe transferred from Kansas' Sunrise Christian to Dream City last season and drew praise from Dream City coach Kyle Weaver while averaging 21.4 points and 6.0 rebounds in the Grind Session last season.
“He’s a highlight reel every game," Weaver told the Marshall County (Ky.) Daily in January. "He can jump over a 7-footer to score. He can easily hit a jumper over a 6-1, 6-2 kid. He dunked over a 6-5 kid one game who is still trying to take the charge. He’s just a flat-out scorer and shoots about 44 percent from the 3-point line.
“He does not have to have the ball to be good, either. He doesn’t need 15 dribbles before he can take a shot. He’s fine if he doesn’t need any dribbles to get off his shot. You will never see him over dribble. His game will translate well to the NBA one day. Just his pace and way he moves is like a NBA guard already.”
