On this episode of Pawd Slama Jama, hosts Andy Yanez (@AYanez_5) and Da’Yon Dunlap (@DayonDunlap) are joined by Kordelius Jefferson (@korrdel), the first recruit to commit to the University of Houston men’s basketball team for the class of 2023.

The trio talked about Jefferson’s early years in Bouge Chitto, Mississippi. The three sports he played growing up: football, baseball and ultimately basketball. Jefferson’s favorite food from the south, and his transition to Fort Worth, TX. Jefferson talked about his style of play and what he is looking forward to in his senior season of high school.

Then the trio talked about what drew Jefferson to the Houston Cougars. Jefferson talked about how choosing a program with a family atmosphere was important to him. He talked about the current Houston Cougars players that helped guide him during his visit; the messages shared by the UH coaching staff and what has stood out to him about the program from afar.

Jefferson talked about his goals for the future, and he mentioned how a knee injury in the third grade caught up to him in eighth grade. Lastly, he said he is ready to put a full offseason together ahead of his high school senior season and gives Houston fans a message for 2023.
