Kofi Cockburn - C - Oak Hill Academy - ILLINOIS

Oscar Delarosa?  Not too long ago. Not sure if Coach A pushed Rawle to us. He was a buddy of Slice I know.   Not pointing fingers and no idea who there is to blame if there is a rift but city coaches should have much respect for our head coach.

Coach Arbs (who I never particularly cared for as a student of CTK, always had that kind of douchebag vibe and always was flirting w the senior girls even though he is married to another teacher at the school) posted on Twitter the other day that SJU doesn't come around anymore after Slice left and that they are the ones who stopped Rawle and Jose Alvarado from coming or something to that effect. Dude will never be happy with SJU not being at their gym everyday. And this all happened before Kofi came to the game on Sunday though so who knows.

It's too bad because this kid is a beast. He'll be borderline 5 star by sr year. Can't teach that kinda size.

Like with Lavin and his early recruiting success, in order keep getting top talent you have to show that your program is working. We'll start to get the kids who only consider good programs once we look like one of them.

Per Jerry Meyer:

2019 big man Kofi Cockburn was dominant at the #pangosaacamp

More from Jerry Meyer:

Not only is Cockburn a physically dominating force, he has a skilled game to go along with his brute power. Arguably the top performing big man in the camp, Cockburn showed touch around the basket, rebounded with a passion and was good in the open court. And to top it all off, he showed some shooting range as well.

Hate saying this but with Ewing Gtown I think we will be playing from behind

Well we can hope G'Town gets an even better C and leaves Cockburn for us. There is also Igiehon so hopefully Ewing can't get them all.

Well I was referring to Kofi being of Jamaican descent like Ewing as well as star big man.

As for Aiden maybe the Mullin Irish connection works

Saw Kofi this spring and although he is absolutely huge he didnt overly impress me. Aiden from the tape looks like the better prospect IMO.

Andrew Slater -

Duke, UCLA, Kansas & South Carolina have reached out for 2019 6'11" Kofi Cockburn of Christ The King & @NYRhoops 247sports.com/Player/Kofi-Co…

Kofi Cockburn: One of the revelations of the EYBL season nationally has been the rapid development of 6'11" rising junior Kofi Cockburn, who averaged a near double-double for the RENs. The exceptionally strong Jamaican native is a major challenge to contain in the low-post. His improved skill-level and passing out of double-teams make him even more of an overall offensive threat. Cockburn was, perhaps, the best defensive rebounder in attendance. He has the size and frame to be an instant-impact freshman. The trajectory of his development in his two years in America has been the most impressive aspect of his ascent. The keys for the Christ the King rising junior will be that he tightens his physique, diversify his low-post game, and develop a semblance of a face-up game in the coming years. Cockburn has earned offers from Indiana, UCLA, Syracuse, Miami, Cal, St. John's, LSU, Oregon, Rutgers, Seton Hall, Illinois, Providence, Creighton, Georgia Tech, and Cincinnati as well as interest from Duke and Kentucky.
