Aug 31, 2012 11:15 PM

Aaron Gordon, an athletic 6-foot-7 wing who was California’s player of the year as a junior, has set an in-home visit with Arizona for Sept. 10.

Gordon likely won’t decide until spring, after the college basketball season.

“He kind of wants to get a better feel for most of the coaches and see how they do this season,” Gordon’s high school coach Ted Kennedy said. “As he gets to know them, he wants to see how they play on the court.”

Gordon is also considering Kansas, Kentucky, Washington, Oregon and Cal.
