Exactly. I thought for sure Kansas had Sampson locked up and look what happened.

Zagoria got his info from one of Obekpa's AAU assistant coaches and the UC guy Brendel got his info from a "high ranking" Oregon official. This has to be one of the strangest recruitments I can remember, I have a feeling some handlers have their hands out. Honestly I see him going to Cincinnati based on the Adidas connection (his AAU is adidas). I know its a shady tactic, but all schools do it...

Hearing UConn could be getting more seriously involved...and the plot thickens....
Pukonn is a dead program at this point. No one is going there.
There's a big difference between 6'8" or 9" and 6'11", so I would like to get real size to compliment our other 6'8" and 6'7" guys.
And, if a kid does not want to be here, he should go elsewhere, for his sake, and ours.
I am confident Lavin will bring in another big guy, and I think we will be VERY competitive next year in the conference.
As has been said, I think our recruiting class is under the radar because it includes a few transfers and JC kids. That's great. We will sneak up on a lot of people.

Per Zags....
Obekpa has taken officials to DePaul, Cincinnati and St. John’s and unofficials to Providence and UConn. All of those schools remain in the mix for his services.
Asked about a potential May 5 announcement date, Lipscombe said: “No that’s not certain, that’s not certain, because he’s not rescheduled the Oregon visit so we’re not sure yet.”

Is there any chance this kid still winds up a Johnny? I thought not from what I have read here.
That's fine with me.

If so Moose, do u think we will pull offer to Felix?
Why. They lost Oriakhi, Bradley and Drummond. Really no productive bigs returning I don't think Wolff or Olander are going to scare away quality bigs and Daniels underwhelmed last year as well. And Stutterin Jim seems to like having 4-5 on the roster. They have room for both Nolan and Obekpa.
