6-10 kid on Athletes First?

[DFWHoopster]

anyone know who the big Nigerian kid on Athletes First is? He's 6-10 and a freshman (2018). Very raw but big body and frame and moves well. He's one to keep an eye on. Watched them versus the Dallas Mustangs yesterday.

I didn't see any OU coaches there (GASO in Duncanville) but was only there for a few hours in the afternoon.

Tristan Clark (2017) on Pro Skills said that OU, Baylor, Northwestern, Vandy and Wake Forest were some of the power 5 schools recruiting him the hardest.

I liked him a lot. Big body- 6-8 220 and really good footwork and can move. Stuck behind Bolden and Herard (two top 100 guys) on Pro Skills and that is why he hasn't had a chance to shine

DFW, the 6' 10" kid must be a new addition. The latest roster I could find does not show anyone that tall.

What are your thoughts on Kristian Doolittle? He's second on the team in scoring with a 15.6 average (Jacolby Long averages 15.9 ppg), and he leads the team in rebounding by a large margin with an 8.8 rpg average.

I'm anxious to see him play, but since that may have to wait for a while, I'm interested in what you think of our 2016 commit?

He kind of reminds me of Ron Artest in some ways. Not as aggressive with the motor but he's put together like Artest. Ish Wainright at Baylor might be another comparison. Needs to play harder more consistently but physically he is ready. He's not "explosive" but plenty athletic. It is not like he is passive or lazy at all. You just look at his body and you want more domination. Pretty solid skill level.

Thanks! Based on what you and others have said, he's obviously a kid with the potential to be really good someday. The common theme is that he needs to be more aggressive, something I'm sure our coaches will work on when he gets to OU.

Lon and Henson were here today, as was Weber, Drew, Dickey and Smart. Shaka dresses and looks like a HS player.

Olawale Odofin 2017 had a double double 14 rebounds 10 points and 4 blks. Dominated the interior #Athletes First. My guess is that this is him.

A guy from Tulsa named Roy Pinder brings mysterious foreign kids to Oklahoma. This is likely one.

Runs SOYLA "school"....

That guy is one of Roy's kids. He had several living in his garage at one time. I think many of them come from the islands and several times can't play in OSSaA. He had another one that couldn't get eligible his entire time in Tulsa.

He has several in that class that are supposed to be freaks.

If he's a Pinder kid he will likely not be an OU recruit.

I believe that.

Roy is coaching the young Athletes first teams I believe. They may not have the backing just the name.

Pender is know for bringing these kids in from the islands and Africa and claim them to be in a class but no documents to support. The OSSAA are aware of Pender and his sketchy tactics. So far none of these kids have made it to a high school.

Pinder helped Buddy get over here...
