Desert Vista's Osasere Ighodaro (24) has an easy layup against Brophy during the second half of their game in Phoenix, Thursday, Feb .14,  2019.

Phoenix Desert Vista forward Osasere Ighodaro doesn't have an Arizona school among his final four, but there is a good collection from around the country.

The 6-foot-9 senior put out on social media this week that his final four colleges are Texas, Vanderbilt, Stanford and Marquette.

Ighodaro made brief comment on what he likes about each school to The Republic:

Marquette: "The success of the basketball team and the player development."

Vanderbilt: "The NBA experience of the coaching staff and the SEC."

Texas: "The level of competition and coaching staff."

Stanford: "The academics and their commitment to me."

Ighodaro averaged 10 points and six rebounds and 2.2 blocks last season for the Thunder, which won 17 games.

He is a 247Sports Composite four-star recruit with a No. 17 nationally rating at power forward in the 2020 class.

Besides Stanford, his other Pac-12 offers are from Arizona, and USC. Grand Canyon also offered him.
