Recruit Scoop- Steve Lavin of St. John's saw Chris Obekpa, a 2012 PF from Our Savior (NY), yesterday. He's recently visited UConn, PC, DePaul & Cincy.

I was just trying to find OSNA's schedule to see if he was the reason Lavin was in New Jersey.

perhaps seeing Sina

Typo maybe? He could of meant NY but typed NJ

“@TheRecruitScoop: Oregon's Dana Altman, UConn & St. John's are watching 2012 OSNA (NY) PF Chris Obekpa today. This is his final high school game.”

“@TheRecruitScoop: Oregon's Dana Altman, UConn & St. John's are watching 2012 OSNA (NY) PF Chris Obekpa today. This is his final high school game.”

I have a bad feeling about Dana Altman all of a sudden getting involved in this recruiting process.  I don't think the HC would fly cross country to kick the tires on a Long Island product if he didn't think he had a legitimate opportunity to reel him in.

Not suprising really.Tomorrow is the St Paddy's day parade in huntington. He probably wanted to come out for that also and have the school pay for the trip

I would think that getting Branch would rule us out for Sina

What "Updated story coming" mean? If there is no decision, what's the story?

Knowing Zags, I'd expect about 4-5 recycled quotes--half or more that weren't even made to him and another that was made by text--and about 200 extra words to say exactly what he said in that tweet.

“@AdamZagoria: Eric Jaklitsch on Chris Obekpa: "Chris hasn't made a decision on what he's going to do." #stjbb Updated story coming”

"Republicans haven't made a decision on who will be their candidate"   Updated Story Coming

WTF does this exchange between Obeka and a fan mean?

You know Zags as well as you know Lenn?  Does he lift stuff from you like Lenn does?

I literally have no idea what that means.

And looking at that exchange, I think that girl that tweeted him is a basketball player headed to our women's team.

It's Nigerian pidgin English, a derivative of British English but used in western Africa so the British wouldn't understand what the people were saying. I came across it while living in Ghana and always struggled to make heads or tails of it.  Apologies for the less than helpful response.

Sounds like his spirit is telling him not to go to St John's, and we're not paying either him or his spirit.
And that's Karma.

Hope Lavs knows this...  Not sure if this kid realizes these tweets are public...
