Welcome to Rich! I know we’ve been on him for a while and I’m glad he decided to come to mason.

Fernandez, Nnaji, Ball and Barron on the wing in the 22 and 23 classes. Pretty damn good.

Congratulations Rich excited to have you in Fairfax

Absolutely love this pickup. I was really high on him in the spring, then it seemed like it went cold and bigger schools got involved... I assumed we were out. Today's announcement kinda came out of nowhere. Big chunky guard/wing, we've got size and shooting in spades in the last two classes. Hot damn!

Yesssss. Lets Gooooooo! Nice get

Took an unofficial to Illinois (but doesnt look like they offered); DePaul, and new A10 member Loyola both did.

He appears to be a bigger, more athletic version of Ian Boyd -- with a better jump shot.

Love this pickup. Love the stealthiness, too.

Now we need a true big... and we need to convince Ticket to use his covid year.

Ojiako is plenty big. What we need to happen between now and next season is for him to develop his skills so he’s ready to take over at the 5 without our production from that spot falling off the face of the earth.

Plus the other Oduro, potentially 2 more years of eligibility for Malik after this season, and our big wings Blake and Elvis.

Today's announcement kinda came out of nowhere.

So it's not just me, then. Usually see a heads-up of "Prospect X announcing tomorrow" in advance. I can't recall any buzz leading up to this announcement.

Great stuff and very happy, just out of the blue it feels like.

To be honest, it makes me like the kid even more. It says a lot about him that he didn't find the need to do some long, drawn-out announcement just to get more attention. It seems like he woke up one morning, came to a decision, and casually tweeted it out with little fanfare.
