Player
Jackson, Tenn.—Union University completes their 2001
roster with the signing of Serge Nkoudjo, a 6-foot-7 235-lb.
power forward from Yaounde, Cameroon. Union’ s head coach

ability to be physical inside will help the bulldogs next
year." Nkoudjo averaged 16 points, 11 rebounds, and three
blocks per game last season for the BEAC Yaounde national
team. Nkoudjo shot 70% from the free throw line and 50% from
the field while leading his team to another top finish in
Cameroon. Nkoudjo is coming to America to pursue a degree in
