Former Oakland (Mich.) standout forward Trey Townsend is taking an official visit to Arizona this week, while also planning to visit Ohio State and Louisville later this month, according to On3.com.
Named the Horizon League Player of the Year, and given the Lou Henson Award as the top player at the mid-major level, the 6-foot-6 Townsend made a national name for himself during the NCAA Tournament's first weekend.
Between Oakland's stunning first-round upset of Kentucky and an overtime loss to eventual Final Four team N.C. State, Townsend averaged 23.5 points and 12.5 rebounds while shooting 42.5%. He had 30 points and 13 rebounds against the Wolfpack.
Born to parents who both played for the Golden Grizzlies, Townsend played four seasons at Oakland and still has his COVID year remaining.
Townsend has been a top Arizona target this spring to replace Keshad Johnson as the Wildcats' starting power forward, though UA also has five-star freshman forward Carter Bryant scheduled to arrive next season.
