July 21, 2018
Sidney Umude aimed to become St. Thomas Aquinas' first NBA player while committing to Youngstown State.
Sidney Umude brought athleticism and determination to St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, a school with a rich athletics tradition but no NBA alumni. The 6-foot-7 forward showcased his ability to finish at the basket, rebound, and attack the rim after transferring from Texas.
Despite being initially overlooked by recruiters, Umude's talent became undeniable through his play with the Each One Teach One AAU program. He committed to Youngstown State, where his combination of athleticism and continuously improving outside game projected him as a future Horizon League standout.
