Coach Targeting Prep School Standout
Looks like coach Jim Boylen might be getting close to hauling in another top prospect for the Utes.
According to an interesting article in the Las Vegas Sun, the Utes are the favorites to land Godwin Okonji, a 6-foot-9 forward at Findlay College Prep, the heralded basketball prep school in suburban Las Vegas whose team went undefeated last season and beat famed Oak Hill Academy in the first ESPN High School Invitational.
Boylen “has been a regular at the Henderson International School, with which Findlay is affiliated,” the article said, “and he has beamed about Okonji’s tremendous upside.”
A native of Nigeria, Okonji averaged 6.2 points and 6.1 rebounds for the Pilots as a junior last season and wants to be a philanthropist who can save the world, according to a video profile of the blossoming star.
Recruiting services say that several top schools in the Pac-10 Conference are interested in him, too.
