Chamberlain Oguchi (born April 28, 1986 in Houston, Texas) is a Nigerian American college basketball player. A 6'5", 190 pound shooting guard previously at the University of Oregon, he is also a member of the Nigeria national basketball team. His nickname by friends and family is Champ. Is also known for his ever changing hairstyle, which has gone from cornrows to now a ponytail.

Oguchi has been forced into a diminished role for the 2006-07 basketball season, but still serves as an instrumental part -along with teammates Maarty Leunen, Bryce Taylor, Malik Hairston, and Aaron Brooks - to Oregon's top 25 ranking. On April 4, 2007, Chamberlain Oguchi announced he was transferring out of Oregon to an undecided college to seek a better career then he had at the University of Oregon.

Champ's father's name is Godwin and his mother's name is Pearl. He has two older sisters named Stephanie and Leslie, as well as younger brother named Kingsely who plays basketball for the University of South Carolina at Aiken.

He recently decided to transfer to Illinois State University, where he will be eligible to play in the 2008-09 season. He will have one year of eligibility remaining.
