'20 NY SG - Femi Odukale (Pittsburgh ---> Seton Hall ---> New Mexico)

[Ramfan22]

Started following Brayon Freeman on Instagram. Don’t know if that means anything.

Maybe went on the same day as Freeman for the visit, so I think it’s a positive

interesting...

[Rhody83]

My guess is he hasn’t visit yet. I think he is visiting this week as is Durugordon.

But Rothenstein said he was on a visit yesterday unless you know more than me

[theblueram]

So do we get a commit later today? I'm sure he had a great visit. Nothing has been said that he was not here this weekend.

[Rhody83]

Rothstein did say two days ago the Femi was visiting RI this weekend. I don’t have anything to refute that. It just seems unusual that none of the traditional post on social media have been posted over the last two days.

I'm sure Archie will make sure his contacts get the first

[SGreenwell]

Finally did this profile! Sorry, was on vacation.

Thanks, SG. Much appreciated.

[Rhody83]

Just realized seeing Femi’s profile that I watched him play at Springfield Commonwealth Academy. He was recruited to SCA by none other than Tony Bergeron. Bergeron started the SCA program. He was the head coach before leaving (the year before Fermi graduated) to UMass. Bergeron tried to recruit Femi to UMass but he selected Pitt. He was the PG in high school.

Connecting the dots…

[SmartyBarrett]

UMass fans were in my mentions about this but I didn’t get the connection. Good stuff 83.

[Ramfan22]

Any new updates on Femi?

[Rhody83]

Guess (and it’s a guess) is that his visit is this Weds & Thurs.

[CamsRams]

[bkoeppen]

he just added the Oregon assistant coach on twitter.

[Billyboy78]

Wow, that's some stiff competition.

[Rhody83]

Listed in Femi’s order of priority.

Archie closes on Femi at the end of his visit.

[steveystuds06]

Wow, that's some stiff competition.

Yup. That's what happens when you're trying to recruit players that can help lead you to a bid. Femi is an absolute stud and without question a high major player.

But ya this isn't exciting at all, right 72?? hahaha

[reef]

Wow, that's some stiff competition.

Sure is and it would be a major win for us to land him

No question. This is how it will be running with the big boys. Let’s goooooo!

Hometown Maryland, close by Seton Hall, slightly further UConn and URI... or 3,000 miles away Oregon.

We may be URI running with the big boys here. But we have a top tier coach and real playing time available.

[phipsiGD'11]

Maryland - seems like they have the need for guards with Fatts gone, but is Ayala returning as a Grad student?

Seton Hall - Holloway could be a beast on the recruiting trail for the next couple of years riding this last tournament wave. "Look at what I just did at small time St. Peters. Come play for me at Seton Hall and the sky is the limit."

UConn - Dan could sell salt to a slug, but also seems like the place Odukale would have the most competition for playing time

URI - starting our "re-build" with a top tier coach and soon to be high amenities. Can come in and have immediate impact, leader of the team, fan praise.

I may be slightly prejudice here, but I don't see how he wouldn't choose URI.

[jcru]

If Archie gets Femi and Durugordon, the only real inside post presence is Samb on the roster, so I think at that point you direct your attention at trying to find a decent frontcourt player. Which, except for last year, was always a Rhody tradition.

URI is definitely recruiting transfer big men right now. We just don’t know who they are, there’s a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes.

[MTK4L]

He is the one I'm most excited about... Stud

Me too, but a much longer shot then Duru.

How about a big juco that clogs the middle?

I think there are still a few juco bigs out there that aren’t yet committed to a school. Players in the top 30 juco’s.

[Big Rhody Guy]

I know Tre generated some more noise today but I think Femi should be our biggest target right now. Getting a guard who can score consistently slots everyone else in our back court into a spot they’re better suited for. I didn’t see any social media posts after his visit though.

[MTK4L]

Are we still getting a visit ?

[ace]

UConn is expected to get a commitment from Virginia Tech transfer Nahiem Alleyne today. With Hawkins, Jackson, Newton, and a possible Stephon Castle re-class, that wouldn’t leave a lot of minutes for a guy like Odukale. That might take them off the list.

SH and Maryland concern me the most.
Rhoden is probably gone but SH still has Richmond.

[jcru]

if UConn ends up being out, this becomes Seton Hall vs Rhode Island, me thinks.

SH has Harris coming back as a senior and another Two guards coming in as a freshman, Rhoden played at PIT tourney last week so that’s a definite he’s gone, Maryland scares me more because they have more open spots, but idk this will be interesting

Getting Femi would be huge and slide in right at the 3rd guard position, and something we’ve been missing since Tyrese left to be able to guard the big guards so
leggett doesn’t get overpowered by them

Femi can actually play all 3 guard positions (including wing).
He would give Archie plenty of options.

Would still like to close on Duru at the wing, good competition with Martin.

[reef]

Let’s hope Femi wants to come here and be the man instead of a complimentary piece at one of the P6

[Rhody83]

Cross UConn off Femi’s list

[Jersey77]

Cross UConn off Femi’s list

Great pickup for UConn and DH.
A 3-year starter for Va.Tech averaged double digits and 39% 3PT.

As said before SH and Maryland will be our main competition.

[rambone 78]

This get would be huge....much more than Sean

[DeanDome88]

This get would be huge....much more than Sean

Time will tell. I'd like to add both players. Femi is bringing much more experience to the table playing 2 seasons while Sean barely played in half a season. I do not get the logic of entering the portal during the season. Seems like a waste of eligibility/opportunity.

[Jersey77]

If Dawes commits to SH, it may help us with Femi.
SH also has Richmond, Harris, Long (injured 21-22), freshman RS 4* Weston, plus 2 CG '22 recruits coming in.
Not even counting Rhoden who I assume will stay in the draft but can return.

Agreed, if the guard from Detroit (Davis) commits to Maryland I think it’ll definitely put us in the drivers seat, I’m just wondering why we haven’t heard anything for a while

Same. I just want to hear something!

[PeterRamTime]

We in business if we land him! Please!

[jcru]

I think this is the new normal with Coach Archie. Don't expect to hear updates, they want everything hush hush until the commitment

[reef]

Come on Femi commit to Rhody !!
