HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – Northern Kentucky University men's basketball head coach Darrin Horn announces the additions of Darius Harding and David Böhm for the 2020-21 campaign.
 
Harding and Böhm join incoming freshmen Marques Warrick (Henry Clay HS, Lexington, Ky.) and Trey Robinson (Hamilton HS, Hamilton, Ohio).
 
Darius Harding
Harding is a 6-5 guard from Elizabethtown, Kentucky (Elizabethtown HS/Motlow State). He joins the Norse following a stellar year at Motlow State where he averaged 19.3 points and 6.0 rebounds per game. Harding registered 13 games with at least 20 points and two 30-point contests, including a 38-point, 9-rebound effort on the ledger, in 30 games played for Motlow.
 
Horn on Harding
"We are thrilled to get a player of Darius' experience and ability. He has been a consistent scorer and can impact the game on both ends. With all that we lost, he provides us an athletic presence on the perimeter who can really shoot and score the ball. I love the fact that playing in Kentucky and being a part of winning were so important to him in his decision."
 
David Böhm
Böhm joins the Norse after playing as part of Montverde Academy's (Florida) Center for Basketball Development National Team this past year. Prior to that, Böhm played for USK Prague where he averaged 18.2 points and 5.0 rebounds per game. The 6-8 forward also represented the Czech Republic at the 2019 FIBA U18 Division B Tournament, where he was named to the All Star Five Team after averaging 13.6 ppg, 5.3 rpg and 2.1 apg in leading the Czech Republic to a third-place finish.
 
Horn on Böhm
"David is a special talent with good size and great versatility. He can literally play all over the floor and fills two needs for us with length and shooting. He has been productive at the highest levels in his age group in Europe and has added to that a good year at Montverde Academy, where he has been well schooled. What's most exciting is he is just beginning to tap into his talent. We think along with Trey and Marques he makes up an exceptional freshman class that collectively lays a strong foundation of talent for our program moving forward."
