The Giant Finds His Stage: Olivier Rioux Commits to UC Irvine and a Fresh Start

2 months ago BallSoHard

Olivier Rioux — the 7-foot-9 Quebec native, Guinness World Record holder, and the tallest player in college basketball history — has committed to UC Irvine after two seasons at Florida in which he played just 17 total minutes despite becoming one of the most beloved and viral figures in the sport. Rioux redshirted during Florida's 2025 national championship run, appeared in just 11 games as a sophomore in mop-up situations, and averaged 0.6 points per game before entering the transfer portal in March 2026. UC Irvine head coach Russell Turner, who previously developed 7-foot-6 Mamadou Ndiaye into a productive college center, is viewed as the ideal fit for a player who carries three remaining seasons of eligibility and the physical tools to become a legitimate force if given meaningful time. We break down every chapter of Rioux's journey from Quebec to Gainesville to Irvine.
