New head basketball coach Jai Lucas continues to build his roster through the transfer portal, as Ernest Udeh Jr. is the latest addition to the Miami roster.

The 6-foot-11 250 250-pound center from TCU averaged 6.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game last season and will join the Miami Hurricanes foe the 2025-26 season.

He notched six double-doubles in the 30 games he appeared in and ten games with ten-plus rebounds.

Originally from Orlando, FL, out of Dr. Philliops High School, Udeh is a former four-star recruit, according to Rivals.com and McDonald's All-American, who originally signed with Kansas in the 2022 class. That cycle, he was the 35th overall prospect and the sixth-ranked center. He played at TCU for both his sophomore and junior seasons.

The Hurricanes have also brought in Michigan transfer Tre Donaldson and Indiana transfer Malik Reneau this week.
