'12 NY PF Christopher Obekpa

[bearcatrunner]

Relax guy. Let the the kid make his decision. He loves uc but maybe he wants to check all his options. He is allowed to do whatever he wants.
I would absolutely Love to have him and would be pissed if we didn't get him but it is not my place to judge him and it's not yours or anyone else's on this board.

See that is where you are wrong! You can judge all you want. It is not against the law. Doesn't mean anyone cares about your judgement and it is cool that you think my judgement of this situation is bad. It just annoys me when people tell other people what they can and cannot do.

You are also right that he is allowed to do whatever he wants. It is his decision and like many have said it is an important one. This one just happens to fall on the opposite side of ones like Chane's where he commited to early and then changed his mind. Some of us are just frustrated this it is taking so long and seems kind of shady with the whole Oregon thing.

I guess we all just want it over one way or another and I don't think he cares what we want and why should he. Just like I can judge all I want he can take as long as he wants with this decision. It is his decision. Hopefully he makes the smart one though and becomes a bearcat.

Kind of funny how interest in Obekpa has waned a whole bunch.

Everyone was cool with him taking him time and going to Oregon but his handlers seem to be taking over his recruitment.

Not good.

I'm not sure what calling other forum members names really does for you but seems a little classless to me. Seems like something a gangsta fan would do.

Isn't that exactly what you just did?

It's just tough to stay really pumped about someone when you really get the sense that he is holding out for something he perceives as better (or quite possibly, a payment).

No I said it seems like something a gansta fan would do. The word seems means that this person is giving off the apperance of being a gansta fan but it doesn't actually mean I think he is. I never once called him a name or anyone else on this forum.

In the end all I am trying to do is help this message get to the century mark like everyone else.

If this kid or his handlers ever read into page 73 of this post I just want to say I still would love to have the kid. As a fan of this program I'm just not feeling the love from him. So I am acting out like a child the best way I can and by posting on this forum.

Come on Chris with you and all of the weapons we have have coming back it could be a huge year. SK will take the scoring pressure off of you, Cash will make sure you get some easy dunks. All you have to do is wait to see if someone actually makes it past our pressure and then you can just swat that shot away. Run up the court and cash will give you a nice pass for the easy dunk.

I'll add to it.

Come on Chris, be a Bearcat!!!

With Ryan Taylor off the board, I wonder who the backup plan is (if there is one for 2012) for Obekpa should he end up somewhere else. Would love Montrezl Harrell......

Pocket the scholarship if Obekpa goes elsewhere. I think Obekpa is going to be a Bearcat though.

Yeah you have to pocket it if we don't get Obekpa or Harrell. We are recruiting a ton of kids for 2013 and we are in on some pretty good players, mostly guards though.

@Adam Zagoria
All signs point to 6-9 Chris Obekpa of Our Savior New American landing at Cincinnati, multiple sources told @SNYtv.Today is last signing day.

LETTTSSSS GOOOOOOO

 

[JackBauer151]

COME ON BABY!!!!!

 

[Thegreatone]

I wonder if he is going to make it official today. From everything we know it seems like he will not but I am hoping that Zags got this information and they have decided to end the process

 

[mplebanon]

I read Taylor committed to Marshall.

I read somewhere that Harrell is UK bound.

I read also that Obekpa is going to sign with UC today. I hope it's true. Not holding my breath though.

 

[Thegreatone]

Where did you read Obepka is signing with us today? Are you referencing Zags tweet or something else?

This kid is going to be our Tyson Chandler/Serge

 

[waterhead]

It would be a bit strange for this news to come out today as if it's a new story and then not have Chris sign today. It's the same news we've been hearing for the past I don't know how long. I am excited we might actually hear something conclusive. If not...what was the point of releasing this today? It's old news unless something has changed.

It is the last day to sign LOI, which is why I think this is coming out. But he doesn't have to sign with anybody, just needs to sign some scholarship papers and enroll in class. The only problem with that is he is still fair game until classes start.

 

[Thegreatone]

I wonder if Mick forces his hand some. All indications are he is ours to lose but we need to know who we have going forward.

So you are saying it's coming out today simply as an update because it's the last day of signing? It's old news being updated because it's LOI day. It probably doesn't mean he is signing today. I can see that.
