It was down to St. John's and Cincinnati.
Cincinnati fans are accusing St. John's and Steve Lavin of paying Obekpa....lol.
Maybe he wanted to stay in NY...what a novel concept.

I'm guessing that you read the same forum I did, because some of those UC fans are totally ridiculous. A whole bunch of sour grapes and we didn't want him anyway comments.

Not sure I would describe simply being listed as a favorite of a recruit with less than half a dozen offers as big news, especially five months before he can sign a LOI and 15 month before he would attend a class.

Anything for new members, right?
But then again, if I had a scoop on a recruit, I'd do my best to make it sound exclusive and juicy as well. The nature of the beast I suppose?
So basically there's nothing left to report on the 2012 class. While Altman has upgraded the backcourt depth, the frontcourt is now going to be a work in progress for the next couple of seasons.

Really disappointing. We need a JC big or two + a stud out of high school that can play down low..

If we want to compete, that is.
Unless they get some transfers in, then the frontcourt is really going to a question mark. Having almost no veteran post players past next season is just something that Altman never addressed this off-season.

It's not like we got zero people.
Practice begins in October, games start in November, and league play kicks off in late December. Baring a total collapse Armstead has prior commitments until January. He might contribute but it doesn't lessen the need for "full time" bigs.

He may play his FR season, but I'm thinking he'll eventually choose football full-time before he's done at Oregon. He's at best a temporary stop-gap player that can contribute until Altman gets the next class of post players in.

I'd be shocked if he played more than 2 seasons... and honestly... I'm not sure that he's even any good?

He's more skilled than Austin Seferian Jenkins, and he gave the Huskies quality minutes last season.
As for Roschon Prince (not directed at you, just talking generally), he is a top 100 player on Rivals. I'm not sure if their rankings are good at this point in the process, but he definitely is a good player.
