BREAKING: Spartans Have Their Backup PG, Land Ugochukwu.
It seemed likely it was going to happen; it was just a matter of when.
On Sunday, transfer point guard Divine Ugochukwu from Miami (FL) committed to Michigan State, per multiple sources.Ugochukwu, who visited East Lansing this past week, will likely serve as the Spartans’ backup point guard.
The young transfer comes off his first collegiate season, one in which he averaged 5.3 points, 2.3 assists, 1.9 rebounds and a steal while starting 16 of 28 games.
