The senior from Desoto averaged a team-high 16.6 points per game this past season and finished his two-year career with 964 points, which ranks 17th all-time in school history. Flemings scored 20-plus points in 10 games this season including 29 on Saturday in a loss at Idaho, that ended UH's season at 10-20.

Flemings scored in double-digits in 23 games in 2009-10 and 51-of-58 career games. He had a career-high 39 points in a loss to Cal Poly last month which was the most points ever by a UH player at home and the fourth-highest total in program history.

Last season, Flemings was a second-team all-WAC pick and all-newcomer team selection. He was also selected to the NABC all-district second team.

The 6-foot-7 senior transferred to Hawaii after a stellar 2007-08 sophomore season at WC, where he earned first team All-America honors. He was named Player of the Year in the North Texas Junior College Athletic Conference, averaging 20.6 points per game and 11.7 rebounds for the Coyotes.
