Obioha, Corbin Set To Join Men's Basketball for 2024-25

WILMINGTON, N.C. – Harlan Obioha and Joshua Corbin will join the UNCW men's basketball program for the 2024-25 season, Head Coach Takayo Siddle announced on Wednesday.

"As we continue to add players to the roster, our main focuses continue to be talented, high character young men who only care about winning," Said Siddle. "Our staff deserves a lot of credit for the hard work that they have put in identifying our kind of guys. Both young men that we've recently added will be a huge part of our success next season."

Obioha, who will have two seasons of eligibility, transfers to the Seahawks following two seasons at Niagara. During his sophomore season with the Purple Eagles. Obioha started 31 games and averaged 10.3 points and 7.8 rebounds per game. He recorded six double-doubles with season-highs of 22 points against Rider and 16 rebounds against Manhattan.

"Harlan is one of the most physically imposing young men that we've recruited in my tenure. He can score in a variety of ways, and he rebounds the ball at a high level."

Corbin, meanwhile, is a graduate transfer who played last season at Robert Morris. In 2023-24, he averaged 13.4 points per game and shot 36.3% from behind the 3-point line, making 87 three-pointers. He led the squad with 92 assists. In two seasons with RMU, he started 61-of-62 games played and averaged 11.8 points.

"Joshua is very similar to KJ Jenkins. He is one of the elite shooters in mid major basketball. In a lot of ways, he was a must have type of player for our program."

Obioha and Corbin join Bo Montgomery and Sean Moore as transfers joining the program for 2024-25.
