This is a huge test on Coach Boals' ability to recruit big fish.
Get him Jeff! New arena, alumnus just made NBA, UMBC beat # 1,
Ohio St Top assistant, etc, etc, etc. The deck is about as
stacked as it could be right now. I agree, push the big fish in
a small pond angle all the way, in addition to the above.
This was Pikiell's mgmt team strength, which clearly
overshadowed his X's and O's, but in the big picture, it is his
recruiting that got us on the map. This is a defining moment
for Coach Boals, IMO.

Do we have a reasonable shot at getting this kid
[/quote]
If we are on his short list and he’s making an official visit
this weekend - after someplace else - I’d say we do.

Old Seawolf I agree land this kid along with Lattimore already
signed and we have some decent talent coming in . Still have
one more scholarship to give but get this kid to say yes first.

Lattimer is already the best recruit in the AE, Seawolves get
Otchere then we may be talking best class in the AE
in the last 5 years

I've been checking twitter and this page frantically hoping to
see some news on Otchere. At what point do he's passing on SBU
and going elsewhere?

some size and stretch the floor. Get him and Otchere and we're
cooking with gas for 18-19!

Totally overlooked this post. Whoa that kid looks good. Only
watched A minute of film and his offensive skill set jumps out
immediately. He's a decent athlete, with mobility. Has court
vision with size. Ability to put it on the deck a little and hit
3's

I have heard his name before. He would be a keeper t 6'8
shooting 3s like that . Can only wait and see what these kids
decide .

And he works out with Ochefu.

I like him less than you guys do but I think he’d be a solid
add. Love the energy and handle for a big guy. However, I worry
about the jumper with the awkward release, and I didn’t see much
in that video with his back to the basket (or at all
defensively).

Him working out with Ochefu should be a positive. I'm not that
bothered by his awkward release due to his size and ability to
create space with his handle. On spot up shots his release would
be even less of an issue because he wouldn't be guarded when its
passed out to him.
I like the series of moves Ochefu put together in that workout.
They all look fluid also. Kid is going to be really effective
next season.
