Mocaby commits to Northern Kentucky basketball

Senior shooting guard Bryant Mocaby made a non-binding oral commitment Tuesday to play basketball at Northern Kentucky.

I feel great about my decision.

— Bryant Mocaby

Mocaby, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard who transferred this year from Goddard, also received an offer from Texas A&M Corpus Christi.

“I feel great about my decision,” Mocaby said. “When I visited Northern Kentucky everything just seemed like it fit, and I could see myself playing there the next four years.”

Northern Kentucky finished 24-11 in the 2016-17 regular season, finishing third in the Horizon League. It won the league tournament to advance to its first NCAA Tournament in its first season of eligibility.

“I really didn’t know much about Northern Kentucky at first . . . then I looked them up and they made the tournament last year and lost to Kentucky by nine,” Mocaby said. “So it would be cool to go to the tournament and make a run.”
