    Fordham has landed a pair of Australian big men.

    Abass Bodija, a 6-foot-10 redshirt freshman from Brisbane, Australia, is transferring from UC Riverside to play for coach Mike Magpayo after visiting this weekend with Jack Whitbourn, a 6-11 Aussie from UCR who also committed.

    One coach described Bodija as “very talented.”

    The duo visited along with the previously committed Rikus Schulte, a 6-9 German from UCR who signed earlier this month.

    Fordham expects to add more players going forward.
