On Saturday night, Hudson was named the Class AAAAA player of the year for the second time by the Louisiana Association of Basketball Coaches (LABC) at the Marriott after averaging 19.7 points, 13.4 rebounds and 2.7 blocked shots this past season in leading Ruston to the Division I non-select state finals. He was previously named Mr. Basketball in the state.
A source told Tiger Rag Sunday that new LSU basketball coach Will Wade is very interested in Hudson also playing for him.
Hudson’s father is former LSU guard Antonio Hudson, who played for the Tigers from 2002-05 and was also honored at the LABC banquet Saturday night. Hudson is the coach at Lincoln Prep, formerly Grambling, in Grambling and was named the Class A coach of the year for the second time. He led Lincoln to the Class A Division IV select state title this past season at 30-3 for the school’s first state championship in 34 years.
