While Lynn Kidd was the MVP of today's win against Farleigh ****inson, the most impressive player may have been freshman Divine Ugochukwu. The freshman PG from Houston finished with 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting, two rebounds, and one assist. He also played excellent defense.
"When he came in the summer, we were planning to redshirt him, but he was so good at just playing basketball, finding the open man, making layups, playing very well on the ball defense, and we told him about a month ago, we were not redshirting you cause you could be a contributor this year as a freshman, and I'm not surprised at all of him leading us in assists he's very good at doing that I was very pleased that he found Yousef whos not been scoring much and he got three quick baskets off of Divines very nice passes" Larranaga said.
Divine was a late bloomer to the Hurricanes 2024 class as he committed to the Canes in the summer, he worked hard in the lab and now is seeing playing time as a Hurricane.
Coming out of high school he was rated as a three-star prospect and averaged 17.1 points, 5.7 assists, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.8 steals over four years at Clements.
