Sean Obi visits

[stick]

According to ESPN, he's currently on a visit to Vandy and is looking to schedule one for Duke. Anyone know of UConn's status?

He sent me a message yesterday saying the staff is really interested in him and he's interested in UConn. That's where things stood then.

Didn't Coach K speak recently about his dislike for transfers that can play right away? I guess it's ok, if he's attempting to get one. Needs to figure out a way to overcome the Mercers & LeHighs of the world.

Yes he did. Rather disingenuous.

Sean Obi will have to sit out a year.

Chatter is he's deciding between Duke, Northwestern and Vanderbilt. Not sure how much stock I put in that.

I've only seen that here and I don't know how much I can trust reddit when it comes to college basketball news, especially when the OP of that thread doesn't provide a source (although he may be the source because he says he used to be pretty close to Obi). Have you heard that anywhere else (just curious)?

Rice to Vandy, Duke, and supposedly Northwestern, are his guardians dictating his recruitment?

If he has to sit out a year I don't want him, 1 year of MJ Rhett or Justin Martin is a much better option.

As hot as Ollie is- we will be able to get a 4-5 star and a character kid for the following year. Unless it is a RP with 3 years left when he is eligible I do not see KO tying up a ship.

Geez a rebounding kid big bodied kid who proved himself for one year in a decent league with solid freshman numbers? Add to that the fact he will have a full year to work and practice with UConn, not a HS team, I take this one in a second even if he has to "sit out". Doubt you can be sure of getting that from a HS kid……...

If nothing else, he'll be real good practice for PN AB, Rock and Facey.

Obi is one of SI.com's top 10 available transfers.

Sean Obi, F
Former team: Rice
It’s no shock that Duke is reportedly among Obi’s suitors. He is a 6-9, 265-pound force that just finished a freshman year in which he averaged 11.4 points and 9.3 rebounds and shot 59.1 percent from the floor. If Obi continues that trajectory, he might not use all three remaining seasons at his next stop, but he’s an impact addition for one or two more years.

Rice transfer Sean Obi will visit Duke tomorrow through Saturday.

Thomas Chandler ‏@tcf_15 33m
@AdamFinkelstein Do you know if he is planning on a visit to UConn at all?

Adam Finkelstein ‏@AdamFinkelstein 43s
@tcf_15 don't think so​

private schools...

I would love to see us involved with Martin.

 

[BlueMAB]

If we get either of them I'll be thrilled. Depending on who comes back, both of them could be that missing piece to another final four run.

Never say never…………

Although we know UConn is a great school it sounds like they are staying in the upper echelon with the Northwestern's, Dukes and Vandy huh………if basketball means anything maybe he should give Emeka a call and then try Casey Sanders………..
