Not a bad night for the kid who played his high school ball at Greens Farms Academy in Westport CT. Doesn't get heavily recruited by UConn. Goes to Rice for his freshman year and puts up 11 & 9. Shuns UConn doing his transfer process and gets a ring while sitting his year of ineligibility out at Duke.

With that academic background, there's no way he was transferring to a state university. Sorry to bust the narrative, but...

And when you end up at Rice as a freshman, there were more programs than just UConn that overlooked you.

VerbalCommits actually has Rice listed as his only D1 offer coming out of high school.

Doom and gloom.

Are posters still running with the narrative that UConn "missed" on him? Look at the school he went to and look at the schools on his transfer list, as @Stairmaster pointed out he was never going to UConn.

I doubt there was ever interest on either side.

This ain't a kid who came up through a fancy prep education. He came to the US from Nigeria in 2010 for his junior year and lived with a sponsor in Greenwich.

Rice was the best offer he got which was just plain bad scouting on behalf of, well, everyone. He was a little overshadowed on his AAU club with Drummond and Dunn, but still.

UConn tried to recruit him as a transfer, but no one is beating Duke there.

In the same vein, he had very little ties to UConn being that he didn't grow up in CT. He's not really a CT kid at all.

I saw him play at Greens Farms. He was overweight & slow. He did dominate the boards against the Fairchester League.
