Jahil Okafor 6'9 HS Frosh Gtown Top 4

by IamHagel on Jun 28, 2010 10:38 AM EDT

Jahlil Okafor will be a High School Freshman this year at Chicago's Whitney Young HS. He is already 6'9 and may grow to 7 ft, or even 7'3 as doctors have suggested. While attending a HS basketball camp at Illinois, his father was quoted saying "Kentucky, Georgetown, Syracuse and Connecticut," are his four favorite schools. "He enjoys Illinois. I haven't pushed my biases on him yet." He already has an scholarship offer from DePaul, which he received while he was in the 8th grade. Still a long way to go for his recruiting process, but Hoya fans should be happy to see he currently thinks very highly of the Georgetown Program.

Clean Recruiting

Following Okafor’s recruiting I can tell you that they value a clean process, at least that is what his Dad says who is managing his recruitment.

a recruit out of Maryland who measured an estimated 6 pounds at his mother’s sonogram appointment last month. … his mother also says he is considering Kentucky, Syracuse, and Florida International ….
