Coach Gustafsson on Fudge: “With one year of experience behind him, James showed great maturity on the court during the fall and I trust he can build on that even more for the spring. He continually learns how to play the game in a way that best suits him, and is very close to putting it all together. James will be one of our toughest doubles players out there and if he finds his next level, he will do great things in singles, too.”
