I know he's still got two years left, but most of these centers never develop an offensive game besides put backs and dunks. But when a kid is a 5 star recruit and you've got to work your ass off to out recruit other schools for him, you would kind of hope he has something to his game outside of blocking shots. I actually do think we only need our centers to be good defensively and just catch a few alley-oops here and there (which Okonoboh can do). But I think if we have to put a lot of our time and resources into recruiting him over a guard (like Joseph, Whitehead, or Newton), than that would be a shame because we are a guard oriented team. For example, Pascal Chukwu would be more than serviceable as a rim protector (and I think has higher upside than Okonoboh), but we wouldn't need to try to beat Indiana, Duke, and other elite schools for him.
 
P.S. I'm one of the few who haven't given up on Rak.  I knew a kid who averaged 9.8 points a game his senior year in high school wouldn't light the world on fire offensively.  It's all about expectations.  I just feel that people here are expecting Okonoboh to be unbelievable, but I see him as another Rakeem, just 15 pounds lighter out of high school
