Kofi Cockburn Visiting
Kofi Cockburn, a coveted 6-foot-11 center from New York, is visiting UConn this weekend. He was at Storrs on an unofficial visit in June.
“Kofi’s a throwback in that he knows he’s a center and wants to be a center,” Oak Hill Academy coach Steve Smith told USA Today this summer. “He’s just a worker and he wants to be in the paint. Guys these days don’t even want to be labeled a center, but he knows who he is and he wants to be that best at that. … He told me he wanted to lead the country in rebounds. It just gives you an idea of his mindset.”
Cockburn transferred from Christ The King in New York to Oak Hill for this season, and in two games has 47 points and 28 rebounds. This is his first official visit; he has several schools on his radar, according to recruiting analyst Corey Evans, including on Florida State, Illinois, Kansas, LSU, Pitt, St. John’s and Syracuse. … Other big men, Akok Akok of Putnam Science, Tre Mitchell of Woodstock Academy and Qudus Wahab of Flint Hill in Virginia have been in for visits this month.
