Arizona signs Clemson transfer RJ Godfrey

By ADAM ZAGORIA

Arizona has signed Clemson transfer forward RJ Godfrey, who is expected to start in the frontcourt for Tommy Lloyd assuming he’s declared eligible.

The 6-foot-8 Suwanee, GA native averaged 12.0 points and 5.3 rebounds last season on 61% shooting for the Tigers.

He was among the players granted a fifth year of eligibility in the recent Colorado court case, and opted to transfer to the Wildcats, a Final Four team a year ago.

Godfrey joins 6-11 Nebraska transfer forward Ugnius Jaruševičius and 6-10 Idaho State transfer center Evan Otten in Arizona’s new-look frontcourt.
