Chiddick appeared in two games in the 2025-26 season, scoring three points. The guard will provide a strong presence on the practice floor, along with experience in Kevin Willard’s system (something only three other players can claim).
The roster now stands at 14 players with the “recent” additions of both Chiddick and Bucknell transfer Brady Muller. It’s still to be seen if Willard adds a third center to the roster, but with Matt Hodge on track to be ready by the opener, it appears it’s center or bust at this point for the Wildcats.
