Welcome!

We needed depth in the frontcourt with only 2 true PF/C players. Now we have 3. It would have been impossible to go through the B1G with just Black and Finke. Not much downside on this decision.

Congrats to this young man. Grew up playing soccer in Nigeria, now we’ll see him playing hoops in the orange and blue!

great pickup. Need about 10 minutes a game from him this year,hopefully it will speed up his development because he really does have great upside. Time to coach 'em up OA!

Awesome signing. I think with his huge upside and work with OA, could prove to be perfect for the BU fast paced system.

Also, from watching his interviews, seems to be a really good, glad that he will be representing the Univesrity, he will thrive in the pinch post spot of our offense if he can develop a midrange jumper.

Love it, even if he's only able to give 10-12 min/game that's a HUGE improvement over the depth we had. He could be really good his junior and senior year with OA coaching him!

I'm thrilled with this recruit! I think he'll be fantastic. He'll improve very quickly. Love the films on him.
