Chinonso Obokoh to Syracuse
Chinonso Obokoh, a 6-foot-10, 220-pound center from Rochester Bishop Kearney, has committed to Syracuse, according to multiple reports.
His commitment follows his visit to Syracuse this past weekend for Midnight Madness.
“He is already a top five post defender in his class,” Jim Hart, Obokoh’s coach with the Albany City Rocks, told SNY.tv. “He has underrated skills as a shooter and ball-handler. He runs the floor hard for 32 minutes and gives 110 percent.”
A native of Nigeria, Obokoh also considered James Madison, Villanova, Temple, and Texas, said Hart, whose program also produced current Syracuse freshman big man DaJuan Coleman.
Dominic Woodson, the Rivals No. 2 center in the Class of 2013, visited N.C. State for Midnight Madness this past weekend and heads to Baylor and then Oklahoma next.
JaJuan Johnson, a 6-foot-5, 188-pound shooting guard from Memphis Southwind, enjoyed his weekend visit to Marquette and is now weighing his next move.
Quadri Moore was invited to Midnight Madness at both Seton Hall and Rutgers this past weekend.
Austin Colbert, one of the top power forwards in the Class of 2013 out of Gill St. Bernard’s, will be contributing periodically to ZAGSBLOG entering his senior season. He is down to Illinois, Miami and Seton Hall and visited Seton Hall this past weekend. Here’s his third entry:
GREENBURGH, N.Y. — After missing the first two preseason games of the season with a bruised left knee, Amar’e Stoudemire returned to practice Monday and said he’ll be ready to go for Friday’s exhibition against Toronto in Montreal.
Jermaine Lawrence, one of the most sought after forwards in the Class of 2013, visited St. John’s Friday for Midnight Madness and has several other visits coming up this fall.
