Sara Okeke's first official game with DME Academy (FL) 21 pts - 8 reb. Very short interview at the end of the game. It seems obvious that she doesn't speak English very well yet, or she is very shy. I also added an article that I'm not sure was posted. A Florida ranking places her ahead of Kelsi Andrews, who is ranked 18th by ESPN. She is certainly a great catch for one of the four teams still on the list. It must be said that she is a world-class player, first team all-star at the 2024 U17 World Cup and MVP of the 2025

Sorry, I didn't see that the video had already been posted.

I just reviewed the entire post on Sara Okeke and I must say that I am really surprised by what I just saw from you. Certainly, Sara Okeke is an excellent basketball player. She finishes very well with both hands near the basket, she is very fast for a player of her size, and she settles very well in the low post with good footwork. But to claim that she is three times better is a stretch. No matter how much I search through the various videos, I don't see her using her outside shot, and even though she was selected for the first All-Star team at last year's U17 World Cup, she didn't live up to her talent in her last two games. She scored only four points against Canada in the semi-finals and only two against France in the bronze medal game.
Spain finished third, while Croatia finished ninth. It should be noted, however, that the draw did not favor them, as they were in the same group as Australia and the USA. Finishing third in the group, Croatia faced France in their first playoff game, losing 63-59. The best they could achieve after that was ninth place.
I have attached the statistics for this competition so that we can compare the two players. Please take a look. Just click on their names for more details if you wish. Olivia Vukosa is solid game after game. Now that Sara Okeke has chosen to finish her high school career in the US, it is quite possible that we will see her in the next ESPN rankings when they are updated. She is currently considered the #1 player in the state of Florida. Personally, I would be very surprised if she were to overtake the Big O.
