Add Silas Demery. Georgia connection with the new assistant coach.

Just in case anyone is interested, pretty good matchup with Texas Tech and JT Toppin. Other than the lack of shooting, this guy is like the anti-Kidd. I’m coming around.

Side note: Jace Posey (James’s kid) is going to be a lot of fun.

From April 1, 2025 -- Udeh Evaluation from Yahoo Sports

Udeh Jr. recorded six double-doubles for the Horned Frogs this season. The junior from Orlando, Florida scored 16 points and grabbed 15 rebounds during TCU’s upset win over Baylor on Jan. 19.

Udeh Jr. also posted 16 points and 11 rebounds when the Horned Frogs defeated UCF on March 1. An All-Big 12 Honorable Mention this season, Udeh Jr. was a bright spot during a disappointing 2024-25 campaign for head coach Jamie Dixon and the Horned Frogs, who went 16-16 overall and failed to qualify for the NCAA Tournament.
 
HC Lucas starting to build a good looking team. No clue if they will gel well together but the parts are starting to fit in nicely

Wonder why he only scored at a 6.6 ppg average? Given his size inside, and All Big 12 Hon Mention honors, that seems very low!
His offensive game is pretty much just being a lob threat. I wouldn’t expect much more than that. TCU as a team was also pretty abysmal offensively.
