a real longshot, considering his other offers. Also, I think
that Olaniyi is really more of a SF than another Guard.

other than Tommy Brenton!!! And, the school seems to have an
outstanding basketball pedigree. Check this out:

And both Brenton and McKenzie won state championships before
taking a PG year at Hargrave. I can only conclude that we have
another AE POY on our hands.

McKenzie is a puzzler for me. He could very well be excellent. I
just mean that we'll have him Iroegbu, Almonacy and Long next
year. It makes me wonder how Almonacy is adjusting to the
college game and whether he'll stick. I thought he was a stretch
to begin with, and why fortify the position with both Mac and
Long? It just seems strange to be loading up at PG when, at
least from my perspective, there are more obvious needs
elsewhere. On the flipside, I'm hoping it means we have our
shooting guard in Garcia for the next four years.

I definitely agree that pg didn't look like a need area of the
roster. My guess/hope is that Boals was comfortable with the
pieces in place and was just looking to add the best available
player

Well, this may be the piece of the puzzle we were all looking
for. Coach B. just got his fourth '17 commitment:
Anthony Ochefu (6'8" PF) out of PA. He looks like a good one!!

A great thing to wake up to! Adam Finkelstein called Ochefu and
Olaniyi "immediate impact players."
Anthony is the brother of former Villanova standout Daniel
Ochefu.
A glimpse into what he brings to the table:

According to the story, we beat out Hofstra, Bowling Green,
NJIT, Wagner and La Salle.

good to see he comes with a winning tradition. and 6'8'' 225
could be a warney in the making- he'll put on some weight over
the next year...
we are short on bigs for the future... this changes that, but
still need more.

basket," said Westtown coach Seth Berger, who also coached
Daniel at Westtown. "In some of our biggest games he guarded the
other team's best center."

He's #60 in black here. He's introduced at around 2:05. I admit
I didn't watch much of the highlights.

Great find checkmate.. I watched the video. He can shoot from
15' and rebound. He's a little slow and can be sloppy,only from
what I can tell from that game.. I'm sure with some practise at
the college level Anthony can be a big time player in the AE..
Great grab coach..

I like him on paper.

Good article and this kid could be a difference maker even as a
freshman.

Olaniyi and Ochefu are all coming.
