"Worse" than BMK?  Time to give up the vendetta.  Kid was a class act who represented the program well, and played a major, major part in a final four run.

Moving on...

I had a chance to see Obokoh play last season when I attended practice.  Kid had [at the time, this was the first few weeks of practice] zero concept of where he was supposed to be on the floor from a positioning standpoint.  He's only about 6-8 or so, doesn't have particularly long arms, etc.  Ran the floor pretty well, but didn't look like a gazelle [always seemed to kind of coast along at 3/4 speed].

But when they started scrimmaging, all of the sudden the switch flipped.  Kid is VERY aggressive as both a shot blocker and a rebounder.  I was shocked, after watching the first two hours of practice how much he got after it.  If he ever learns how to play in terms of skill, he's going to have the opportunity to be a very good player for us.

I love kids that display a high motor.  Give him a year or two to get some game experience, and I predict Obokoh will be a good one for us.
