No reason to believe that we would have any chance to get him, but 6'11" with good size.

6'11" 230. Originally from Nigeria. Also had a Seton Hall offer. When I googled his name, a Syracuse msg board had a similar thread about their interest in him.
Does anyone know how good he is?

Can never hurt for J Jones to contact the guy. They'll be several of the late decommits, and I'd assume J Jones is exhausting all options for bigs.

One can only hope

Yeah, not saying its likely, but I have faith that Johnny Jones can sell LSU (couldnt say that about Trent). Worth a call at least.

Yeah of course. Jones won't lose anything in reaching out to the guy. Hopefully Okafor will atleast ponder the offer and keep it in mind.

He has to be better than a Tuba player.

From the syracusefan.com thread:
Seems like he asked for the release because he found out he was too talented to go to LMU.

ohio st tennessee cincy are showing interest as well

Okafor actually caught my attention in a summer camp game that I watched last summer, which featured players like Stanford Robinson and Chris McCullough to name a few. Okafor was blocking shots left n right and boarded at a high level. Don't remember him doing much on offense though and unfortunately I didn't take notes on him to remember if he had any offensive game. His defense stood out more than his offense that's for sure.

I hear Tuba has looked good in pickup games and new assistant Brent Scott says we are solid in the post.

Brent Scott is a joke. The whole staff was, but at least they had cool violet sweater vests to wear.

Bubba is Johnnie Hiring Brent Scott?

CJJ must read the rant 
Posted on 4/25/12 at 2:17 pm to FamousAmos
Is the RecruitScoop Tweet a joke too, because we're gonna be a joke w/o a big man. I'm hoping we can land at least one big guy, and this dude holds a little more stock to me getting out of LM when comparing him to a North Texas guy.

Any relation to Mek?
Nevermind, I see he is from Nigeria.
