She’s new to basketball, but Kentucky prospect knows what she wants in a college program (Lexington Herald-Leader, 7/9/2023)

Vivian Iwuchukwu, who only first picked up a basketball four years ago, said the right fit will be willing to focus on her continued development.

“(I want) a school that’ll help me skill-wise,” Iwuchukwu said. “Me being the fact that I started basketball a little bit late, you know, my skill isn’t up to par where I want it to be. So I feel like I’m really looking for a school that can adjust to that and help me build my skill. And not just, you know, rely on my lyricism and pinpoint me to just that.”
