Would be huge...

 

[Tillweezy]

Huge!

 

[madcityCY]

F-YEAH!!!

...really hope that's true

 

[gocubs2118]

When was the last time we got our top two targets for a class?

 

[Dryburn]

I hope it is true. Man, the motors that he and Sledge have will drive other teams nuts!

Love the new New York Pipeline. Those kids can ball

A good sized guard from the Bronx with toughness and a high motor-- worked well last time for us!

 

[CyBroncos]

Can't wait to hear Iowa fans try to talk down this commitment while pumping up Fran the Man's recruiting

He was also offered by Pitt.

Wow... Way to go Fred and Crew...

THis is great if true, because I have a feeling with the teams that are looking at him, he is someone that could really shoot up the rankings if he has some good outings. We need to get him before the Kentucky's of the world start to offer him.

He was also offered by Pitt.

Was he? I know the story for a while was that he was waiting on a Pitt offer. If he was offered that is an even bigger coup for Coach Fred given that at one point it looked like Pitt was a front runner if they offered.

Matty A!

Pitt offered and his coach was on record saying it would be a great fit for him. So they wrote a whole article about the pitt offer so it's true.

Ya, Pitt offered him. I remember everyone had given up on Okoro once they did and I didn't understand why. We've been his leader since January and the staff has been going after him hard. I didn't think we'd let him slip away.

 

[CyBroncos]

Keeping my fingers crossed he'll still be ours on signing day

Pitt offered and Kentucky probably wasn't going to. They cherry pick the top 20 kids.
