Josh Uduje – 6’5 – Guard – Coastal Carolina
Nearly a month ago, Louisville’s staff showed interest in Josh Uduje, and Louisville was far and away the most prestigious school on his list.
Coastal Carolina transfer Josh Uduje (@JUduje) tells me that these schools have contacted him:

ORU
CSUF

Averaged 13.3 pts & 3.9 rebs in 30 minutes per game
Uduje put up 13.3 PPG, 3.9 RPG, and 1.2 APG on 42% shooting in a pretty impressive sophomore year.
But since reaching out to him in late March, the trail has gone cold, and now Uduje is visiting Vanderbilt and Oregon State.
6’5” Josh Uduje @theuduje, who averaged 13.3 for Coastal Carolina this year, while shooting 90+% from the line, will visit Vanderbilt next week and Oregon St. after that.

Again, I don’t think this would be a huge swing and miss for the Cardinals. Uduje is a little too reliant on his three point shot for a guy that isn’t the best at shooting them, but I think he would’ve been a nice rotation guard for the Cardinals to add.
