With all the offers he has back East, I'd be really surprised if he even came out for a visit.

From what I have heard/read, it seems likely that Obekpa will trip to Eugene. Is it realistic to expect Oregon to gain his commitment? With us being the clear outlier, it is difficult to say.

Yup, he's going to visit Oregon. Right now, Cincinnati may be the favorite to land him, though that could obviously change after a visit to Oregon.

The fact that Altman was able to convince him to out for a visit is pretty huge. Oregon will also be his last visit before he makes his decision.

Edit- he also really liked St. John's and one of his teammates will be their next year. I realize that Lavin didn't coach the team, but they are a disaster. Their best player already declared for the NBA draft and this year's recruiting class isn't nearly as strong as last year's.

One other thing to keep in mind.

Tony Stubblefield used to be an assistant coach at Cincinnati. This definitely bodes well for Oregon.

Good stuff oregontrack, and you are definitely dead-on with Stubblefield. Many people thought St. John's would have a good shot of gaining his commitment last week on the OV, but that didn't occur. It at least shows that Obekpa is keeping an open-mind, but we'll see where this goes.
