Vivian Iwuchukwu, younger sister of Vince Iwuchukwu, joins USC women’s basketball 2024 recruiting class

Lindsay Gottlieb brings in another elite recruit, adding to what is already the top recruiting class in the nation for 2024.

The No. 1 women’s basketball recruiting class in the nation just got stronger. The USC Trojans women’s hoop team and head coach Lindsay Gottlieb just landed Vivan Iwuchukwu.

Ranked as the No. 47 recruit in the nation by ESPNW, Iwuchukwu is a 6-foot-3 forward out of Florida’s Montverde Academy. Her older brother, Vince, is a sophomore forward on the USC men’s team.

Vivian helped Montverde to a 26-1 record last season, averaging 7.7 points and 5.8 rebounds per game. She and Montverde claimed back-to-back GEICO High School Nationals championships in her sophomore and junior seasons.

“We are thrilled to announce that Viv has signed with our USC squad. We identified Viv as one of the most athletic, high-motor, high upside post players the moment we saw her play,” Gottlieb said of Iwuchukwu. “That her brother Vince was already a valued member of the USC family was simply a bonus. Viv is a unique talent. She is a leader and a dominant inside force that will be a seamless fit with not only her classmates in the ’24 class, but also with the style of play we are establishing with our returning veterans.”

Iwuchukwu chose USC over Ohio State, Florida, Kentucky, Arizona, Georgia and Texas.
