Coastal Carolina transfer Josh Uduje to announce tomorrow
Originally from London (NOT KENTUCKY), he visited VU in mid-April. He averaged 13.3 ppg, shooting 42% from the field, 32% from three, and 91% from the line in this past season, his sophomore year. He has a long list of suitors.
And guess what? He's 6'5".

That is one serious long list of quality programs who want him.

Re: Coastal Carolina transfer Josh Uduje to announce tomorrow
I'm not impressed by his list. First off, those are the schools who have "contacted" him. I don't take that as offering or targeting him.
Those schools are over 90% mid- or low-majors. And quite frankly, Louisville was about mid-major in performance last year--that place is a dumpster fire right now.

I know he visited Oregon State and Vandy. That's all I got.

Shoots 91% from the line, that's impressive.

AJ Ogilvy, if you consider all Aussies to be descendants of convicts sent there from the British Isles.

Rumors going to Utah State… hope that’s wrong

Re: Coastal Carolina transfer Josh Uduje to announce tomorrow
Could be off here, but doesn’t VU now have only 2 openings? I’d likely pass on Uduje. Not the most efficient option. Went 1-12 against Mizzou early last season (did go 5-6 at the FT line, but honestly think Stack could do better; also think the last 2 spots should go to bigs).

Re: Coastal Carolina transfer Josh Uduje to announce tomorrow
On the one hand, we do have an openings and probably need to have a non-freshman option at the SF spot. OTOH, his numbers are not particularly impressive compared to say, Taylor, and they were obtained against very weak competition on a very bad team. Overall, Uduje is a 6'-5" scorer who didn't do much rebounding, assisting, or drawing fouls and struggled with accuracy from the floor. His FT% suggests he could improve on his 30% three point accuracy, but he was not particularly adept at getting to the line to take advantage of his accuracy.AuricGoldfinger wrote: ↑Tue May 02, 2023 1:48 pm Originally from London (NOT KENTUCKY), he visited VU in mid-April.

And guess what? He's 6'5".
I would not be particularly broken up if we do not end up with him.

Re: Coastal Carolina transfer Josh Uduje to announce tomorrow
There seems to be a discrepancy on his height. Most sites list him at 6’4 to 6’5. While a google search of his name suggested he was a 6’8” transfer
