They need to bring in an impact player with the last scholarship as this is a bit of a head scratcher.
Welcome aboard

Not a head scratcher when you see what the other big men are asking for and getting around college. Probably figured better to take a gamble on someone cheap and try to coach them up rather than overpay for a mediocre guy.
Talented, but raw Nigerian player who looks like he has a lot of upside. Has not had the benefit (or disadvantage) of being in the circus of AAU ball here. We did well with Ike and Mike. I trust Sha and the coaches on this one.
The Nigerian Freak! Welcome to the Seton Hall family! Excited you made the choice to be a Pirate. Can’t wait to see the energy you will bring to next year’s team. Work hard! There’s a lot of talent around you and a coaching staff that knows what it takes to be successful. Good luck! There is a plan for you!
At this point we should have a decent amount of NIL $ left to go after a legit quality PF starter.

Welcome Emmanuel Okorafor to the Seton Hall Family. Your in good hands with Coach Sha and Staff.
Does not look like a stiff. Very quick for his size. Kind of a cross between Ro and Ike. He is going to prevent points in the paint.
I like it. Looks athletic and active. Averaged 1.4 blocks in 15 min his freshman year. I think Sha will coach him up well. If this is what our C depth chart will be I think he will compete with Gus for the starting spot like we saw Bediako and Everett did last season
Before we get disappointed, just remember Bediako and Everett were not big name players or put up big numbers coming into last season. Give Sha a chance to coach these guys and get them ready for BE play

Welcome Okorafor.
Active, athletic and doesn’t avoid contact.
Need to establish positioning and polish.

Welcome to your new basketball family.
You made a wise decision...Thanks

Looks like a depth piece with athletic ability and some upside. Assuming Wusu is back that leaves the starting center as the only piece left.
Last year the roster was top heavy totally reliant on the five senior starters. This roster doesn’t have the same starter experience but it looks like we will see a 9 man rotation with more bench balance.
Does Sha go with a traditional center or a collection of PF’s?
4/5 right now is Prince, Gus, Okorafor, Tubek, Godswill and Mbawe. Essentially 5 guys (Mbawe limited minutes) 80 minutes. That group is really light on experience.

Looks like he has a decent handle and a smooth mid range jumper in this video Love the fact that Sha can mold his talents. Might have found a diamond in the rough,
How many experts thought that Jaden wasn’t a BE center?
Africa basketball is the new Canarias. This looks to be part of the recruiting strategy. Could be a good way to find talent and not blow your budget.
Strong body, will be good to get him in the weight room with Yalden for inspiration. I like the pick up,,team taking nice shape, should be some tough practice sessions
Here is some interesting commentary from a big Louisville fan. Also has some nice footage from an international tourney against tough competition.
A quality center and an anonymous unlimited Crispy Cream gift card sent to KR and I am happy with the prospects of next year.
Agree. I think we're good there tbh. Probably our deepest position right now
