Recruiting Report: Chuchu Enechionyia (2016)
Adam Ayalew
<p>One of the more underrated wings in the 2016 class, 6'5 South County forward Chuchu Enechionyia, is starting to make some noise following a terrific summer on the AAU Circuit. He was the X-Factor for Higher Level 17's all summer long. His head coach Oliver Johnson spoke highly of him.</p>
<p>"He's versatile. This kid can play both sides of the floor." Johnson said. "He just has a high motor. He's a kid that's willing to do anything to do to get his teammates involved and help his team win."</p>
<p>Enechionyia is a tough, versatile forward. He's very good at making plays for his teammates. While he's considered a face-up wing, one of his most underrated skills are his low-post scoring abilities.</p>
<p>"I'm an all around player. I can do whatever my team needs me to do." he said. "I hustle a lot which is a big part of my game. Grabbing rebounds, diving on the floor for loose balls, stuff like that."</p>
<p>Another underrated aspect of Enechionyia's game is his feel for the game. He has a very good basketball IQ.</p>
<p>"I know where all my teammates are," he said. "I know how to make the right play."</p>
<p>During the all important live period in July, Chuchu averaged 14 points per game, 6 rebounds per game, and three assists per game in 14 games for Higher Level 17s. During that stretch, he cashed in on 32 three-point field goals.</p>
<p>VMI extended an offer to Enechionyia following his strong performances in July. Mt. Olive, VSU, UMES, are all currently expressing interest.</p>
<p>"My three-point shot has been falling a lot." he said. "I'm working on ball handling so I can attack my man one-on-one from the wing."</p>
<p>Expect Chuchu to pick up more interest as he leads a surging South County Stallions team this season.</p>
