His brother's name is Chinanu Onuaku. I think he is usually called Nanu by his peeps.

Transferred from Duval before his sophomore season. 6'9 240 pounds. As you say, class of 2014.

Played for Riverdale Baptist as a sophomore. Looks to me like he averaged about 2 ppg. But he is having a good summer and might end up being a good player down the line. Don't want to be negative but he is probably a long shot to play at a program like Syracuse at this point.

A Look at Chinanu

Imagine a front line of Chinoso, Chinanu and Youssoupha or Antravious.

It would be pretty awesome to see Mr Excitement handle this.

from sutomcat, "having a good summer":

In summary: 6'9" / 240 lbs and his doctor thinks that he may not be done growing, but very unimpressive stats as a Soph. As a Jr he has to step up. If he is still growing that could explain awkwardness. Will he be a cat rescuer or a 7' version of Arinze?

What can you tell me about his knees?

My only memories of AO shooting FT's I choose to retain involve him knocking them down against Villanova during the 34,616 game. The roof nearly came off when he hit the second one after the and-1 when he was falling backwards.

"Here's a name from the past, kind of: Chinanu Onuaku, younger brother of former Syracuse big man Arinze Onuaku. The 6-foot-10 Riverdale Baptist (Md.) big man is being recruited by Seton Hall, DePaul, Cincinnati, Xavier, Maryland, North Carolina State, Virginia Tech, VCU, West Virginia, Miami and Connecticut.

He's been on the scene for the past year but interest has been minimal at best from SU. I watched one of his games this past season. Here's what I wrote about him.

"The younger brother of former SU big man Arinze Onuaku. Slender built with super long arms. Started off the game scoring a couple of baskets and blocking a few shots before getting a couple of fouls and dealing with it the whole game. Runs the floor well and looks to have some upside, but isn't an instant impact player at this point."

Emphasis on "super long arms".

For those that want to see Chin in recent action. He's #23

Chin NBPA Top 100 Camp mix.

 

[ImperialOrange]

From my Maryland alum co-worker he's pretty high on their board. He's a bit of a project at this point but still young and growing. Also, his defense is ahead of his offense but that's pretty common with young bigs.

I doubt we have room for him but perhaps could be a nice 4 year player ala BMK and really come on later as he matures?

 

[retro44]

he gave a silent verbal to Bernie last year

An updated school list from Terps big man target Chinanu Onuaku on Thursday at the Reebok Breakout Classic.
An above-average rebounder, a good defender and a space eater, Onuaku said Xavier, Seton Hall
and DePaul were the three schools chasing him the hardest, but they aren't alone. He was quick to
point out that he was also considering offers from Virginia, Maryland, Virginia Tech, Cincinnati,
Connecticut, Rutgers, Minnesota, Kansas State and Pittsburgh, among others.

 

[Francis03]

Really surprising that we have shown AO's brother little to no interest at all.
