Maryland, VCU and NC State in play for Georgetown transfer Qudus Wahab

One of the biggest improvements this past season from a developmental standpoint was Qudus Wahab, a sophomore center from Georgetown. A former three-star prospect from Lagos, Nigeria, the 6’11 center had several power conference options out of high school, before picking Patrick Ewing and the Hoyas.

Wahab had to come off the bench to start off his college career, playing behind All-Big East starter Omer Yurtseven. Since these two couldn’t play together on the court, the freshman big man got back up minutes, although did start seven games when Yurtseven has injured. For the season, Wahab averaged 5.5 ppg and 4.3 rpg in 15 mpg.

Once Yurtseven decided to go pro last offseason, Wahab was elevated into the starting center role, something he seemed to be ready for. The big man started off this past season on the right note, producing 12 points and 12 rebounds. Wahab had four double-doubles in the first nine games, including being one block shy of a triple-double, along with 17 points and rebounds in a win over St. John’s.

Wahab became one of the top low post scorers in the country, averaging 12.7 ppg, 8.2 rpg, and 1.6 bpg on the season. He also was a good defender and played a big role in Georgetown’s Big East Tournament title run, notching a double-double in the win over Creighton to go dancing.

Wahab also had a team-high 20 points and 12 rebounds in the Hoyas NCAA Tournament game against Colorado, which proved to be his last with the team. Along with over 1,000 players, Wahab elected to enter the transfer portal.

We now know a reported six programs that are in the running to land the sophomore center. Here’s a closer look at how Wahab would fit with each current roster.
