I hope Uzo will be challenged enough in Spartanburg, especially since both of his parents are college professors.
Yeah, I stumbled upon some articles by his father - who has a PhD. Also, Mezie finished high school with a GPA above 4.00. I felt bad that he won’t get a Charlotte diploma, especially since he sounded interested in pursuing an engineering degree here (USC Upstate has no engineering program, so he said he’ll be forced to major in mathematics on a scholarship).
It’d be a good idea, I think, to keep tabs on him. I doubt if Upstate has too many players at his level - so he should get plenty of touches (most likely against a couple ACC/SEC opponents that love to beat up on creampuffs). If he’s a good defender/high percentage scorer in college, too - we could grab him for 4 years (transfer year + 3 playing years).
A good deal for Uzo, as he can switch majors and have an extra year of college paid for - should he decide to pursue a master’s.
