Looks like a good rebounder and shot blocker.

Offers according to Rivals, unranked by them:
Fordham
Manhattan
Minnesota
Monmouth
Niagara
-
What, no interest from Duke?

Call me crazy but I hate the affiliation we now have with Duke

My friend it is the school's desire to go in that direction so they can survive. Many school's will have issues in future years unless they can prove the cost of the degrees they offer are worth their rising costs. MU really has little choice but to become more competitive.
-
Competing with Cal and Northwestern. He only averages seven points, but have you seen his ACT score? Recruiting will be much different than it was with Buzz.

ACT scores higher than PPG averages? This is uncharted waters...

Yeah, it sure sucks to be loosely linked with an elite school that offers an Ivy League-level education. ::)
-
Let's just hope this isn't plan B for losing Ellenson/Stone!

If your happiness hinges on MU signing one or both...you might want to get a crying towel.

Could be an interesting recruiting contest between two ex-Duke assistants and the guy that 'backed out" of our coaching search.

Wait!....We are now Franchised with Duke>.

I saw him play at an AAU tournament. He is a physical presence for sure and intriguing because of that. He is very raw however, I think he needs to significantly improve all aspects of his game to be a factor at the high D-1 level. I saw him getting beat by smaller 6-5 ish type quicker guys consistently. If we were to take this kid, I think he would benefit from a red shirt year and with enough training and coaching he might be a factor in the later part of his career.

What AAU team does he play for?

The team I saw him play on was the House of Sports Gauchos, I think it is some kind of B team affliated with the Gauchos that plays out of the House of Sports .

Just passing on a little info on the big guy:
1. He averaged close to 20pts per game last season in HS
2. He does have good grades, in fact he's a nation honor society kid
3. That list of offers from rivals is very old and out dated. Here's a more accurate count: http://www.verbalcommits.com/players/jonathan-nwankwo
4. He plays for the House of Sports. They're not affiliated with the NY Gauchos, although there were for 1 year. By the way, the House of sports basketball program and basketball team is ran by former Duke player, Andy Borman.
5. He does struggle against 6'5 centers, as most big men do, but I doubt he'll face too many of them in college.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the info.
Right now I don't think Nwankwo is on our radar. CoWojo is more focused on local kids Diamond Stone and Matt Heldt for that class.

Not really--remember Durley?

Thanks for postin' on Scoop, Jonathan.

Yep, you must know:

A source told me that 2015 Jonathan Nwankwo next offer should be Marquette

Yes it will. A bunch of unranked smart kids. That will keep the fans showing up!!

So, is MU Beaver a dude or a chick?

Nice, subtle.
Send pics if the latter. ;)

Never said I knew anything. Just didn't think it. I hadn't heard Marquette mentioned with him until that tweet
-

You mean even with it being yours, you wouldn't know?
-
He committed to Minnesota yesterday.

Does anyone know if we progressed beyond initial interest in him?
-

Hahaha!

well, if MU Beaver lives in Eugene it can sometimes be difficult to determine...

No involvement in recent times. #MattFactor

He is definitely a project but the upside will be there for the Golden Gophers if he works out.

I don't know, but it seems likely that once Matt Heldt was in the fold there wouldn't have been much need for Wojo to continue the recruitment.
-

Available again. Minnesota released him. Fingers crossed.
-
How did they release him?
-
So if we would get him (or anyone in the 2015 class), does that mean we're full for next year too?
-
Sounds like he couldn't get in to Minnesota; not sure Wojo would be interested anyway.
-
Wouldn't see MU getting involved here.
Let's bring in Kyle and and get ready for the fall!

Yes, we need to be recruiting based on ACT score first and foremost. After all, they are student.....athletes.
