Vermont gets their first 2025 commit

With the season just around the corner, Vermont gets a jump start on the future with a commitment from 6'3 guard Momo Nkugwa. He is currently attending The Governors Academy in MA and is the first commitment for the 2025 recruiting class. What jumps out immediately about Nkugwa is his tremendous athleticism. Smooth and shifty getting to the rim before rising up and dunking everything. He has great length and excels getting out in transition. The offensive similarities between Nkugwa and Shamir Bogues are striking. He is also a threat from the perimeter, a strong defender, and plays with a high motor at both ends of the floor. This is a very strong start to the 2025 group. Nkugwa is going to be a fan favorite and will bring excitement to Patrick. He is a highlight waiting to happen (and another lefty!). The versatility that Nkugwa brings to the program is so valuable. With his length and athleticism at he can play multiple positions and gives the Cats a player that can impact the game in so many different ways. The coaching staff continues to identify hard working, high IQ players, who are all in on winning and do the little things to make themselves and their teammates better. The 2025 class will be a big one for Vermont as the pendulum in recruiting swings back in the direction of high school talent and as the Cats graduate several important pieces. The 25-26 group will be a kind of pioneer group in the new landscape of college basketball. I cannot wait for the season ticket event next week to kick off basketball season. So close!
