IRVINE, Calif.-- UC Irvine men's basketball adds a talented guard in
Myles Che to their incoming class.
Â
Che makes the trip back to his home state after just one season at Chattanooga. The guard averaged 7.5 points per game behind a team-best 0.527 shooting clip from the floor and scored in 27 of his 28 appearances. Additionally, Che posted seven double- figure scoring performances that includes his season-high 22 points (7-12 FG) which came in the Mocs victory over Louisville.
Â
The incoming sophomore finished his rookie campaign with 211 points, 66 rebounds, 54 assists, and 18 steals.
Â
"Myles was our top guard target in the transfer market, and I am excited to add him to our experienced group of veterans who expect to contend for championships in the coming season," remarked head coach
Russell Turner. "He is a natural point guard and an excellent fit with our returning players because of his intelligence, his competitiveness, and his passing talent. Myles has a bright future as an Anteater."
Â
Prior to his year with the Mocs, Che was prepped by Joedy Gardner at Fairmont Prep and then went on to win a championship with Rob Johnson at The Skills Factory.
Â
Che adds to his family's legacy at UC Irvine after watching his brother, Owen, graduate with his degree in Psychology this spring.Â
Â
Che joins
Kyle Evans in the incoming recruiting class, entering the Anteater program that concluded the 2023-24 campaign with a 24-10 overall record, including a 17-3 conference record to defend their Big West regular-season championship title.
