Lawrence Woodmere coach Jeff Weiss compares Igiehon’s body type to a young Amar’e Stoudemire or Dwight Howard. “His upside and his physicality is unbelievable,” he said. “He’s got muscles on top of muscles and he’s very athletic. He jumps, runs, really athletic and his skillset is is pretty good for a guy that size. He’s big and strong. I compare him physically to Dwight Howard and Amar’e Stoudemire when they came out of high school. “I think Aidan’s upside his enormous and if you know him, he’s a wonderful kid,” Weiss said.

Aidan Igiehon, the 6-foot-10 center from Lawrence Woodmere (NY) Academy and the Team Rio AAU program, has postponed his official visit to St. John’s for this weekend and Louisville appears to be the favorite for his services.
St. John’s head coach Chris Mullin saw Igiehon on Tuesday at Woodmere, but the visit was postponed nonetheless.
Igiehon previously visited Oregon and then tripped to Louisville on an official visit this past weekend.
Louisville coach Chris Mack visited Igiehon’s mother in her native Ireland, and Louisville assistant Luke Murray then was at Woodmere last week, as was Oregon’s Dana Altman.
Louisville already has a strong 2019 class featuring point guard David Johnson, shooting guards Samuell Williamson and Josh Nickelberry, small forward Jaelyn Withers and power forward Quinn Slazinski. The Cards would love to add Igiehon to the group.
