Oak Hill Academy… what a program it has been over the years. Every year, they have incredible talent and compete for a national championship and it looks to be the same this upcoming season.
After losing several key prospects again to high-major college programs, they are looking to reload. On Tuesday night, 2020 6'8 Bradley Ezewiro from Bishop Montgomery high school in California, announced that he would be heading to Virginia for his senior season, playing under hall of fame coach Steve Smith and at Oak Hill Academy.
As a junior, Ezewiro helped the Knights to a 24-7 before falling to Mater Dei in the playoffs.
Now, he is looking to be a key anchor for Oak Hill down low, bringing his frame and energy to the courts.
'I bring physicality and high energy (to the floor),' Ezewiro told Phenom Hoop Report. 'I can space the floor by hitting a jumper but I usually battle inside for tough layups and dunks.'
Playing for a program with a history like Oak Hill and someone like Coach Smith, expectations are high but he is excited to compete at the highest level as well as learn from some of the best.
'(I want) to win Geico and to ultimately prove that I can play on the biggest stage,' he said. 'I think I can learn how to play more against great competition every night and I want to learn how to become a pro.'
As far as his recruitment is going, Ezewiro announced his final six schools not long ago, mentioning Tennessee, Virginia Tech, LSU, Georgia Tech, USC, and Arizona State being all in the mix.
All the coaches from those programs like his will to win and want to use his size to battle down low, as well as improve his perimeter game.
Right now, Ezewiro has visits to LSU on August 30 and USC on September 20 planned.
