In Memoriam:
Josh Uduje – 6’5 – Guard – Coastal Carolina
More than a month ago, Louisville’s staff showed interest in Josh Uduje. Based on the list that was released, 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

Averaged 13.3 pts & 3.9 rebs in 30 minutes per game
But after making the initial ‘have contacted’ tweet, there wasn’t much mutual interest between Louisville and Uduje. And on Wednesday, Uduje announced his transfer destination.
Firstly, I’d like to thank my Lord and saviour Jesus Christ for blessing me with this opportunity and guiding me to come to this decision. To my family thank you for supporting through this time…With that being said I’m glad to announce I’ll be attending the Utah State Univ. pic.twitter.com/3xAxNCAdkM

If the commitment to Utah State didn’t make it obvious, this isn’t a huge miss on Louisville’s part. Uduje would’ve been, at best, a role player off the bench. With two scholarships left, there are much better players available.
