What Was Said:

'He's strong, tough, and displays a physical approach to the game on both ends of the floor. Okwakol handles the ball well for his size, creates effectively off the bounce, and can reliably create for himself and others when necessary. He's a well-rounded player and athlete with a nice blend of IQ, strength, and overall skill. Okwakol is strong enough to defend bigger players and fluid enough to contain guards along the perimeter. He also makes a quality impact on the glass and can push the break in transition. Okwakol thrives at attacking in transition but can also hit jumpers at a nice rate from mid-range or beyond the arc.'

The senior 6'6 prospect is one that many schools have their eyes on but still feels like he is going a bit under the radar.  That is why we looked to dive into the state with 2023 Nigel Okwakol.  Each of the events he has played in with Phenom Hoops, he has produced. He has really shown the ability to be a true scoring factor on the floor, displaying good athleticism and a fluid feel.  Okwakol is also showing his ability to knock down shots outside, finish at the rim, use his athleticism to help on the boards, and also can share the ball but also impact the game on the defensive end.

Right now, Okwakol holds four offers from Lees McRae, Mars Hill, Converse, and Coker, and when talking to him, he said that Lees McRae has been the one staying strong.' But the senior also mentioned that other schools have been expressing interest, as more teams could be getting involved.' The senior athletic wing-type prospect had flourished this season, and the stats back it up.
