SHOGBONYO ON WHY HE CHOSE DENVER: 
Chose the University of Denver because he believes that Coach Wulbrun and his staff can help him reach his fullest potential as a person and as a basketball player.

WULBRUN ON SHOGBONYO: 
"We are adding an explosive offensive player and an elite level defender to our DU program in Nick Shogbonyo. Nick is an aggressive three-level scorer and extremely quick with the ball, making it hard for defenders to keep him out of the paint, and shoot the three consistently. He takes good care of the ball and has impressed me with his ability to make the right play for the team. His contributions will be just as impactful on the defensive side of the ball. He can pressure the ball, get in passing lanes and disrupt, as he takes great pride in his defensive prowess. It is with tremendous excitement that we welcome Nick to our basketball program."
