However, neither will spend the next season suiting up for the Volunteers. Awaka and Aidoo entered the transfer portal a few weeks ago, and Awaka has found a new home. He committed to the Arizona Wildcats over several other programs on Monday morning.

Awaka spent last summer with Team USA at the Fiba U19 World Cup. He started six of the seven contests, leading all players in the tournament in double-doubles. Awaka posted an average of 11.6 points per game, good for second on Team USA. Many saw this as a potential breakthrough opportunity, and his game did jump in confidence after his summer stint in Hungary.
