14-year old Udoka Azubuike is the next big thing?

Udoka Azubuike. He’s 14 years old. He’s 6-foot-11 and 260 pounds. He was born in Lagos, Nigeria, but grew up in Delta State, Nigeria.

He has been playing basketball for two years, and only took up the sport because “everybody said ‘you’re the biggest and should play,’ ” he told a handful of reporters.

He now lives in Jacksonville, Fla., after being discovered two years ago at a Basketball Without Borders clinic by a coach with ties to Steven McLaughlin, the head coach at tiny Potters Christian Academy in Florida.

Colleges like Florida, Florida State and Kansas have already expressed intense interest, and McLaughlin said “everybody but Duke, North Carolina and Kentucky” have called him or visited the school.
