Vincent Iwuchukwu (born April 17, 2003) is a Nigerian college basketball player for the Georgetown Hoyas of the Big East Conference. He previously played for the USC Trojans of the Big Ten Conference and the St. John's Red Storm of the the Big East Conference.

Early life and high school

Iwuchukwu grew up in a military family that traveled frequently, and didn't begin playing organized basketball until he reached high school.^[1] He played for four different high school programs and impressed scouts at each stop, graduating as a consensus four-star high school recruit in the class of 2022.^[2]

Recruiting

Iwuchukwu was a consensus four-star recruit and committed to play college basketball at USC over offers from Baylor, Kansas, UCLA, and Texas.^[3]

College career

USC

Iwuchukwu's college career was jeopardized before it began. Weeks after arriving at USC prior to his freshman season, he suffered a life-threatening cardiac arrest during a routine practice.^[4] Iwuchukwu was hospitalized and doctors were unsure if he would be able to continue playing basketball.^[4] He ultimately received an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator and was able to make his collegiate debut on January 12, 2023.^[4]

The cardiac arrest appeared to stunt Iwuchukwu's development, and he left USC after averaging 5.5 points and 3.8 rebounds per game during his sophomore season.^[5]

St. John's

Before his junior season, Iwuchukwu transferred to St. John's to play for Head Coach Rick Pitino.^[5] He played sparingly for the Red Storm, and entered the NCAA transfer portal after the season concluded.^[6]

Georgetown

Iwuchukwu committed to play his senior season for the Georgetown Hoyas.^[7]
