Top international basketball prospect Henri Veesaar has committed to Arizona, he told ESPN on Wednesday.

"I believe in [coach] Tommy Lloyd's philosophy and how he coaches," Veesaar said. "I've had my eyes on playing college basketball for some time now, and I believe that Arizona is a great fit to make a jump between youth and professional sport."

The 7-foot 18-year-old from Estonia is considered arguably the most promising European prospect committing to the college route in the class of 2022. He was identified as a 15-year-old at the FIBA U16 European Championship, where he had a strong performance playing up a year on the competition, helping him land a contract with European powerhouse Real Madrid, the gold standard of junior programs on the continent.

Veesaar has steadily progressed over the past three years, winning the prestigious adidas Next Generation Tournament in 2021 and earning a call-up to represent the Estonian senior national team as a 17-year-old, making him the youngest Estonian player ever to see minutes in a FIBA qualifier.

Again playing up a year on the competition, Veesaar had an outstanding showing at last summer's FIBA U18 European Challengers, averaging 16.2 points, 11.6 rebounds, 3.8 blocks and 2.6 assists, while hitting one 3-pointer per game.
