Cornerstone was the first school to offer Hudson before his junior season started last year. Other NAIA’s Spring Arbor and Davenport recently extended offers just after his 17U season ended.
Hudson also mentioned some additional programs which have reached out to him of late.
“I’ve gotten contacted a lot more after my AAU season was over. I’ve visited a couple schools and a couple out-of-state schools have contacted me; IPFW invited me to a couple of their camps. And then Rochester has reached out, but they’re Division III and I don’t want to go D3 because they can’t give out athletic scholarships,” said Hudson.
The talented senior guard went on to discuss what he’ll be looking for when making a college decision, and when that might be.
“It really just comes down to how close the coaches get to their players, and how welcoming the players are and stuff like that,” he said.
“I was thinking maybe before the season (I’ll decide). But now I’m thinking mid-season, just to see if I can get a couple more offers.”
Hudson is a bit undersized, but his grit and determination on the floor more than make up for that.
“I would probably say my effort defensively and offensively set me apart. I kind of just do all the little things. I can shoot pretty well and I can see the floor pretty well. And I like to get everybody involved,” said Hudson.
“I’m working to be a more consistent shooter, and also on my ball-handling.”
Hudson has been starting at Wayland Union since his sophomore season, and was great last season as a junior averaging 15 points, 4 assists and 5.5 rebounds per game last season.
This year he’ll have to be even better.
“I’ll need to score a little bit more, and rebound and assist a little bit more too,” he said. “I’ll need to be more vocal as a leader. I’d like to make the All-State Team this season, and just be the best player I can be.”
