REPORT: Miami transfer says Texas Tech, Michigan State, and USC are recruiting him the hardest

The Texas Tech Red Raiders are reportedly in the hunt for Miami transfer Divine Ugochukwu. As a freshman for the Hurricanes, Ugochukwu finished the year averaging 5.3 points, 2.3 assists, and 1.9 rebounds per game.

Miami transfer Divine Ugochukwu tells @LeagueRDY these three schools are recruiting him the hardest:

Texas Tech
Michigan State
USC

He averaged 5.3PPG, 2.3APG, 1.9RPG and 1.0SPG this season for Miami. https://t.co/nKdJR3hLzF pic.twitter.com/fjcDIVgnkr

The Red Raiders may have an upper hand in this recruiting battle, as Ugochukwu is a Texas native. He attended Clements High School in Sugar Land (TX) which is roughly an eight hour drive away from Lubbock, and it sounds like Texas Tech is working to bring him back to the Lone Star state.

As of this writing, the Red Raiders have added five players from the portal during the offseason - all four-star prospects. Those players include:

Josiah Moseley, four-star PF - Villanova
LeJuan Watts, four-star SG - Washington State
Tyeree Bryan, four-star SG - Santa Clara
Luke Bamgboye, four-star C - VCU
Donovan Atwell, four-star SG - UNC Greensboro
