Chris Obekpa

 Wonder if Obekpa becomes more prominent possibility with Katin off the board. We'll see.
 
Love this kids shot blocking ability-would be great alongside Pelle or interchangeable for defensive purposes. 
 
 How does he compare to Gathers?

From what I can tell.... Other than both players being pretty athletic there are really no comparisons. Gathers is a brute, muscular kid who uses his strength and size on both ends of the floor. Basically, Gathers can bring it on both ends.

It seems like Obekpa, at this moment, is a heckuva shotblocker and a pretty good rebounder at this moment. Those seem to be his positives, according to most recruiting guru's. His offensive game seems to be a definite work in progress. He's someone I'm sure our staff will keep their eyes on, though.
 
Tweet from Zags:

"Our Savior assistant Eric Jaklitsch confirmed Chris Obekpa will take unofficials this week to St. John's and Ga. Tech. Providence later"

A 6'9" sweeper in soccer. I like this kid. Never saw him play, but I predict he'll be the next Dream.

He hosted UCLA, Providence and Cincy on Sunday for home visits.

Understood, when I wrote the post I was assuming everyone was eligible for this season.
