Kelvin Odih, a former four‑star recruit from the New York City area, has officially transferred from St. John’s to Fordham, joining the Rams ahead of the next season. The move comes after a brief stint with the Red Storm, where he saw limited action but was part of a Sweet 16 campaign.
During his single year at St. John’s, Odih appeared in ten games and posted a career average of 1.5 points per game. Though his statistical footprint was modest, his presence on a deep tournament run highlighted his potential as a developmental piece.
Fordham’s recent form showed a turnaround, as the Rams won five of their last seven regular‑season contests before dropping a close decision to George Washington in the Atlantic 10 Tournament. The loss also marked the end of a season that had not seen an NCAA Tournament appearance since 1992.
A Boost for the Rams' Outlook
The coaching staff believes the newcomer can contribute a dynamic dimension, offering depth at the guard positions and bringing a winning pedigree from a program that consistently competes at a high level.
St. John’s, for its part, enters the conversation as a top‑15 contender in the nation and a favorite to battle for the Big East title, setting the stage for an intriguing matchup whenever the two schools meet on the court.
