We've known for a while that Joseph Uchebo wasn't likely to return to the Pitt basketball team. It appears to be all but official now and the center is expected to play for Charlotte this year.
Ironically, Uchebo will help fill the void left by big man Mike Thorne, Jr., who left for Illinois. You might remember him as the transfer Pitt pursued earlier this year.
Uchebo had some knowledge of Charlotte. He actually visited there back in 2011 when he was finishing up high school.
It's unfortunate he never really worked out for Pitt, but it was a questionable move from the start with his major knee injury.
