UIC got a commitment from Nathan Ojukwu today. He’s a 6’6” guard from a prep school in Florida (originally from Idaho). He played for DME Academy, a top 10 high school team in the nation.
Can’t find much info on him but know he was offered by Drake.

This seems like a pretty good get. Big, Valley-ready in terms of body, seems to be both crafty and explosive inside, but also appears to be able to shoot it. Offered by Drake and Akron at least. Some fans on the Drake board seemed very interested in this kid.
Big concern is he’s a freshman, so will he be sticking around after his first year? We have so many guards on this team…if he doesn’t get to play, a likely transfer…if he’s good enough to play significant minutes among this group, still have to worry about transfer. It’s the risk with high-schoolers now.
Still can’t believe we’re bringing in another guard, even if he’s bigger. Yak must be worried about people leaving. We still have a couple more offers to bigs out there…a recent one to UNLV C David Muoka, I believe. We have 1 spot left. Even if we’ve brought in some quality players, to not address the front court in any way would be an objective failure.
