IMO, it has nothing to do with wanting to work hard or not.   Chris kept putting his hand out looking for something.  Same situation last off-season.

How about looking to shoot a basketball in a net.

@JonRothstein: St. John's transfer Chris Obekpa will visit Minnesota in the next few days, source told @CBSSports. Sit one, play one. #sjubb

There was interest between Obekpa and Minnesota. But it ended up not being "right fit," according to a source. Still one scholarship open.

Any chance we get a repeat of last summer where he returns, or has he incinerated the bridge?

More you see with Obekpa the more sketchy it look$.  I still can't picture him sitting out a year and imagine him going to the DLeague.

He'd help us this year, of course, but I want no part of him returning.  And posters like Paultz have said it isn't happening, so probably no need for us to even speculate.   As I've said on Redmen, I think there is basically zero chance this kid suits through an entire transfer year and full season somewhere else.

Probably couldn't reach agreement on who's set of rules CO would follow, Pitino's or his own. Heard weed was the deal breaker.  ;D

Never happening.

I do want to go back to all those people who defended him after he refused to enter the Providence game.  Writing was on the wall then
Remember who broke the Slice news

Unless he was either going to a top program like Kentucky or a place where they could of improved upon his scoring skill set, he should of stayed. As of right now, he's a 2nd round pick at best.

NC State coach is friends with Lavin and probably asked for his recommendation.  I can't imagine Lavin said anything other than "stay as far away as you can."

Hope he ends up getting his degree, for his sake

Basketball program wise, good riddance, I hope no other team has to deal with him

What a waste.  Kid was the best shot blocker in college ball easily, and one of the best I've ever seen in college ball.  If his attitude was better, the sky was the limit for the kid.
