    Gamecock Transfer Five-Star Elite Guard Morris Ugusuk Committed To WVU Basketball Over South Carolina, Texas and Alabama

    West Virginia University (WVU) has secured a significant addition to its men’s basketball roster with the commitment of transfer guard Morris Ugusuk from South Carolina. The 6-foot-4, 170-pound Helsinki native brings a potent combination of shooting prowess and international experience to the Mountaineers.

     

    Ugusuk, who spent two seasons with the Gamecocks, appeared in 62 games, starting six. During the 2024–25 season, he averaged 5.9 points and 1.4 rebounds per game, shooting an impressive 40.7% from beyond the arc . Notably, he delivered standout performances with 20 points against Vanderbilt, 18 against Indiana, and 15 against Oklahoma.

    Originally a three-star recruit from Drive Basketball Academy in Finland, Ugusuk reclassified to join South Carolina in 2023. In his senior year at Drive, he averaged 17.2 points, 5.3 assists, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.2 steals per game. He also represented Finland at the 2022 FIBA U18 European Championship, contributing to a third-place finish .

    Ugusuk’s decision to transfer comes amid a broader roster overhaul under new WVU head coach Ross Hodge. The Mountaineers have added eight transfers this offseason, including Ugusuk, and one high school recruit, forward DJ Thomas . With two years of eligibility remaining, Ugusuk is expected to play a significant role in WVU’s backcourt, providing depth and a reliable shooting option.

    His commitment follows an official visit to Morgantown and marks a strategic move for WVU as they aim to rebuild and strengthen their roster for the upcoming season. Ugusuk’s versatility and experience at the high-major level are anticipated to contribute positively to the team’s dynamics.

    As the Mountaineers prepare for the 2025–26 season, the addition of Ugusuk signifies a commitment to enhancing the team’s competitiveness in the Big 12 Conference. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how his skills translate within WVU’s system and contribute to the team’s success.
