Obekpa

@StJohnsBBall: Practiced yesterday. New look for him.   “@gionysports: Most interested to see if Obekpa plays tomorrow. #sjubb”

So what's the look and why wouldn't he play ?

Who knows, probably his appearance. Too many folks assumed he was in dog house, because of Thursday's exchange with Lavin.

I don't care about the new look but a poster on redmen.com said CO didn't want to reenter the Providence game, and Chillib said the odds of him returning next year are slim to none, heard from a reliable source.

If so here's hoping DLo intercedes and persuades him to come back.

Lets not just go assuming that he won't return. How many people said D'Angelo was gone and that Jordan was going to transfer after he went home. These are just kids, they make decisions based on emotions. If Obepka wants to leave that's on him but if he sits down after the season and thinks about it rationally I dont see why he would leave. He is going to get a ton of pt next year.

CO has 30 mpg and and Big East Defensive Player of the Year waiting for him.  He'd be foolish to pass on that.  We need him...we are much better with him than without.  He's a good kid.  I would have been pissed too.  Let's no write the kid's future for him...we are always wrong.

Reminiscent of his humorous D'Lo references last spring I assume.

Harrison should have gone to Baylor.
As I stated during the Harrison posts I have no inside information. Harrison to Baylor made sense to me if he was going to transfer. But it was mostly to bother anti DLO people on board.
Obekpa is based on nothing, was a joke. Besides him clearly looking pissed off all season, only thing I have seen is the Redmen chatter that he refused to go back into game.

COs options are transfer, but he would loose a year ,which I cant see him doing, Try his luck in the D league or Europe or return. I agree returning makes the mosr sense. but you never know whats on these kids minds, maybe he doesn't like Lavin.

I'm lost why do y'all think he is transferring?

a lotta rumors, and a lotta consistent heartache.

Someone posted a while back that rumor was he would prefer to be NBDL next year than St. John's, and then with the rumored refusal to go back into the game, the gossip is rampant about another prized prospect leaving us because we all have very low self-esteem and have been burned by the likes of Cedric Jackson, Dwayne Polee, and Norvel Pelle before.

Chilleb posted recently he heard from a reliable source the chances of CO returning are slim to none.

If Obekpa stays, we should be reminded of that everytime Chileb posts "inside" information.

Because we didn't make the NCAA and the sky is falling...

I'm pretty cool with his people I don't know if he is transferring but if he did anything like that he would probably go over seas before going to another school

Like someone else said, he could be DPOY in the Big East next year and really take his game to another level if the Johnnies feed him the ball on offense more.

I really hope he stays and Lavin figures out how to use him more on offense.
