Caleb Holt Commits to Arizona

0:00On March 10th, Caleb Holt, the nation's top high school shooting guard, just committed to the University of Arizona. This 6-foot 16-year from Huntsville, Alabama, now suits up for prolific prep in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He's ranked as the number 4 overall player in the class of 2026 by 247 sports composite and the best at his position. Earlier this week, Holt broke the news on ESPN's first take Tuesday morning. He turned down offers from Alabama, Houston, and Kentucky to join head coach Tommy Lloyd's program. Their bond grew strong last summer when Holt played for Lloyd on the USA basketball under 19 team. Fans and analysts see this as a major win for Arizona basketball. Holt becomes the highest ranked recruit to pick the Wildcats since the Andre Aiden back in 2017. He'll likely step right into the wing spot opened by Braden Burries, who's set to declare for the NBA draft after this year. Meanwhile, Holt is the second commitment in Arizona's 2026 class.
