Aidan Igiehon

On October 19, 2018, Igiehon committed to play college basketball for Louisville over Kentucky, Oregon, and St. John's. He was considered a four-star recruit by 247Sports and Rivals, and ESPN ranked him as the 36th best player in the 2019 class. On February 24, 2019, Igiehon led Lawrence Woodmere Academy to a second straight NYSAIS Class B title and third consecutive NYSAIS championship. He also helped his team reach the Federation Tournament Class B semifinals. After averaging 26 points and 18 rebounds per game and guiding his team to a 22–2 record, Igiehon received USA Today All-USA New York first team recognition.

Igiehon missed most of December in his junior season with an ankle injury. He averaged 21 points and 18 rebounds per game, leading Lawrence Woodmere Academy to a 20–6 record, a New York State Federation Tournament appearance, and an NYSAIS Class B championship. After the season, Igiehon made his Under Armour Association debut with Team Rio, playing alongside five-star recruits Bryan Antoine and Scottie Lewis. He averaged 9.7 points and 6.4 rebounds per game.

In 2012, Igiehon was introduced to basketball by Dublin Lions coach Mick White, who noticed Igiehon and his friend kicking around a football outside Moyle Park College. White, who was holding under-13 tryouts and needed extra players, invited Igiehon and was impressed by him. Igiehon soon joined the Lions, with whom he learned how to play basketball and quickly improved his game. He also grew about one foot (0.3 m) by the following year. In addition, Igiehon played basketball for Moyle Park College, leading his team to an All-Ireland final. In the summer of 2014, he moved to the United States to enroll at Lawrence Woodmere Academy, a K–12 private school in Woodmere, New York, as an eighth-grader. Igiehon's mother remained in Ireland, while he began living with his aunt and uncle in Brooklyn. He became a starter on his school's varsity basketball team in eighth grade.
