NOTING HUDSON: A strong wing guard that can play the forward position as well ... Should battle for a starting position right from the start of the season ... An incredible shooter that transferred into the program from ACC (Atlantic Coast Conference) power Clemson University ... Will certainly be expected to play at several positions on the court, including point guard and small forward for the Wildcats ... A highly-touted athlete that can put the ball on the floor and run the point guard position, if needed ... Shows his multi-talented ways whenever matched-up against a smaller defender he may be able to shoot over or take off the dribble ... A pure shooter that can either come off screens or create his own shot ... A true player to watch for the future as he increases his talents and looks to break the B-CU three-point shooting records.

Averaged 11.1 points per game, as well as 9.7 points in league play ... Saw action in two games for which he never left the court the entire contest ...
