Obekpa was a monster this weekend at HS Hoops Fest in DC. Recorded a triple double. He was like the great wall in the paint.

Involved but he isn't as primary of a target like he is for PC. Don't get me wrong Obekpa does a lot of things well defensively but he's a very unpolished player. He's more of 3rd or 4th big man on a high major team. He's a role guy.

Gift is much better offensively and no way alike in body frame. Obekpa is a much better shot blocker and thats his most redeeming quality to high major programs.

If I told you we could only get 2 from the choice of Gathers, Jakarr and Obekpa.  Do you still take him?

We have 6 schollies I would take all 3. Obekpa seems like the only center type of the 3 what with him being mainly a shot blocker which is what you want from a center.

Is this a trick question?  Of course you'd take Gathers and Jakarr, right???

That's point.  I think the priority list goes that way.

Maybe I'm not used to rooting for a top recruiting team, or maybe Obekpa is not that talented, but with the state of our front court, I don't know how you could turn down a big man who can block shots and rebound at this point.  All I can say is that I hope we have such better talents in the wings, that he is not a priority.

The way I see it is Lavin said 6 more kids.  Pretty sure he has Amir in that count so thats 1.  Wood would be 2.  Gathers and Jakarr and 3 and 4.  There is supposedly a mystery shooter looking to transfer in which would be 5.

A lot of people say we need a PG. Some say we need a true legit center.  Which way do you go with the last one?

Currently we have Moe Amir and Sir at the 3 in place, so I really want bigs I want Gathers and Obekpa. It is not fair to ask Moe to play out of position again next year.

Both, because now that Nuri's jumped ship we have an extra ride.
