How are his grades?

I want to get him and Sampson. Although I will admit he may fit our needs the most.

At this point, imo both are absolute musts

I've agreed with you twice tonight, Baldi.  LOL  It's now imperative we nab both of those kids.

Everybody is forgetting about Sheppard. Hes a great talent.

Agree, agree, agree.  Must say, however, that while Lavin might have prioritized Sampson and Obekpa over Gathers (at least I'm telling myself this), it is very discouraging that our former recruit, Gathers, tells everyone who would listen that he was going to wait until the spring to make his decision, and then he turns around and chooses Baylor before the spring signing period even starts.  Stating the obvious (one of my few strengths), it would really help our recruiting efforts if at least ONE of our targeted recruits commits soon.

It will also help our nerves if 1 of the targeted recruits commits soon.

Thats some weird angle because it has Omar Calhoun being almost as tall as Noel and taller than Chris.

Look at the YouTube vids on the basketball diary's page.  He is legit in size.

@BSnowScout: Look for uncommitted four-star center Chris Obekpa to visit St. John's this weekend

It's not us.  He's visiting uconn according to BSnowScout.

Felix Balamou is visiting SJU this weekend.  He's Obekpa's current teammate, and some claim that Obekpa has a strong desire to play with him in college.

We could use another shooter, sign them both up.

Can Balamou shoot it?

Man, we need this kid in the worst way.  I am a little bummed about the inconsistencies with the players and I think getting some big timer would boost the morale

I didn't think so.  Thought he was more of an athlete/slasher
