Okogie underrated
There are always prospects that fly under the radar in every class before going on to have very productive college careers. A prospect can stay under the radar for a number of reasons, whether they aren't playing enough, aren't getting seen by enough coaches, or they simply don't have the measurable a coach desires.
For Josh Okogie, he plays on a pretty high-profile travel team with CP3 and he plays as much as anybody on the team. He's always productive, yet his offer list doesn't necessarily reflect it. At 6-foot-5, he's a bit undersized for a college small forward, and that's likely what is holding back his recruitment to some extent.
That's not to say he doesn't have some great options. Tennessee's new staff offered him last month after having him on campus for a camp. Georgia Tech extended an offer as well, and Brian Gregory was spotted watching him quite a bit in July. Kansas State, East Carolina and Tulsa also offered at different points this summer and, most recently, Temple offered on Monday night.
He may not have the prettiest game, but one school is going to be very happy they signed Okogie. The knock on him in the past had been his shot, but he's become a much better shooter since the high school season ended. His ball handling was another question, but he's improved dramatically in that area as well.
What has never been a question with Okogie are the intangibles. He's always leaving it all on the court. He's a tough kid. He's a team player. Those attributes when combined with the skill he's starting to develop are the recipe for a very good college player. "
