Kentucky - Derek Willis - 3* PF/C out of Kentucky.  Same year as Randle, Lee and Johnson. Already had Noel and Cauley-Stein  Don't think they expected him to play. Recruited over by Lyles and Towns and again by Labissiere and they still want at least one of Rabb, Zimmerman, Diallo, Swanigan, Bryant.  I don't think Cal ever expects the kid to play or see the court. But he recruited him and gave him a scholarship.  And oh by the way.  Obokoh was ranked higher than Willis by R!va1s.  Also schools like Uconn, Nova and Michigan St took players ranked lower than Obokoh.

It honestly happens all the time at every program especially with big men. And I'm not even talking about the Bryant part.  And by the way, Obokoh was the #2 player in NYS, #25 Center in the country.   And just for giggles here are the other schools that offered Obokoh a scholarship: Nova, Temple, Dayton, Miami, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pitt, Providence, Seton Hall, Texas.

SU offered Obokoh because they needed a Center but didn't think they'd need him right away.  Give it up.  Your axe is just a club now.
