After a strong freshman season for Kyle Smith and the WSU men’s basketball team, big man Efe Abogidi was named a finalist for the Kyle Macy Award. CollegeInsider.com gives the annual award to a top freshman. Abogidi was part of a young WSU roster and jumped right into the lineup, giving WSU the type of play from the center position the team has missed in recent years.
Being named a finalist means Abogidi is a Kyle Macy All American, joining quite the list of freshmen across the country. It’s a testament to Abogidi’s basketball ability and Kyle Smith’s recruiting acumen, but Efe likely won’t need to prepare an acceptance speech.
