I believe Akeem will be taking an Official Visit to URI this weekend. He is an AAU teammate of Norance Berry with B Maze Elite.

Both visiting together? Reminds of the Beatles song "Come together...right now...."
Let's hope for two commitments....

Re: ‘20 TN PF/C - Akeem Odusipe
I guess he picked a top 10 a while back, but that has changed? I also saw he was hoping for an offer from the Vols. I don't know if he ever got that offer.

The Vols have a monster class coming in next year so we have the "more playing time" advantage.Billyboy78 wrote: ↑4 years agoI guess he picked a top 10 a while back, but that has changed? I also saw he was hoping for an offer from the Vols. I don't know if he ever got that offer.

Re: ‘20 TN PF/C - Akeem Odusipe
I mean a boy can dream, so if we land both of these kids, wow another really good looking recruiting class for Cox, that would be just outstanding. So I hope we win tomorrow and we slip into the top 25 just in time to help get commitments.

Re: ‘20 TN PF/C - Akeem Odusipe
This is Akeem’s first Official Visit. He has taken unofficial visits to Auburn, Vanderbilt, South Carolina & Seton Hall. It doesn’t seem like any of those four are still on his list. My guess is he will take 4-5 official visits so this is early in the process. Cox will still try to close at the end of the visit. You never know what an 18 year old will do. Always good to be first. Says a lot about his interest in RI.
Akeem and Berry are traveling to RI today. Probably staying in Newport tonight and starting their OV Friday morning.

Re: ‘20 TN PF/C - Akeem Odusipe
These late signees always concern me. Hopefully their whole families are with them. Cox will be able to sell both these guys easily on playing time, and atmosphere. Awesome game to be a part of.Rhody83 wrote: ↑4 years ago This is Akeem’s first Official Visit. He has taken unofficial visits to Auburn, Vanderbilt, South Carolina & Seton Hall.

Except the Dayton game of course.

A sold out Ryan Center with a rabid showing in a potential NCAA season on national TV could get a 5 star to sign that night.

Which makes it that much more important that we put on a great show, keep the crowd in a frenzy, and win the game.

How big is he weight wise? Looks like a big kid. Would be a nice pair with Harris/Walker.

He is 220 lbs. strong for his age. A preseason with Chase and he will be able to handle the physicality of the A10.SandorClegane wrote: ↑4 years ago How big is he weight wise? Looks like a big kid. Would be a nice pair with Harris/Walker.
