Ikenna Alozie committed on Tuesday, November 18th, and signed with Houston shortly after. He announced his decision on Friday on CBS Sports Network. The 6’2″ combo guard from Dream City Christian in Arizona chose the Cougars over Alabama and Grand Canyon.
The GoCoogs basketball team has spoken to several coaches about Alozie. One compared him to a young Jamal Shead. He said Alozie is moldable into the type of guard Houston produces.

Areas of Opportunity
