The Arizona Wildcats are one of seven finalists for San Francisco grad transfer Charles Minlend, according to Jeff Goodman of Stadium.

The 6-foot-4 wing averaged 14.4 points and 4.7 rebounds per game this season, while shooting 42 percent from the field and 30 percent from 3. Minlend was an All-WCC Second Team selection for the second consecutive season, helping lead the Dons to a 22-12 season.

The Concord, North Carolina native is also considering Butler, BYU, Arkansas, Mississippi State, Indiana and Gonzaga. Per Jake Weingarten of Stockrisers, Minlend had a virtual visit with Arizona on Wednesday.

One of Minlend’s best games this season came against Gonzaga, when he scored 22 points on 9-of-18 shooting. If he were to pick Arizona, he would be a candidate to start at the 3.

“He’s a scorer, a high volume guy who needs to work on being more consistent with his shot,” one scout told Stadium. “When he’s willing to facilitate, he adds a dimension to his game.”
