After landing a scholarship offer from Ohio State last week, Felix Okpara will take an official visit to check out the school in mid-June.

A four-star center from Chattanooga (Tennessee) Hamilton Heights Christian Academy, the 6-11, 210-pound Okpara said his first trip to Ohio will be from June 15-17. It will also be his first official visit.

Okpara said his relationship with the Ohio State coaches dates back to last year. Assistant coach Jake Diebler is his primary recruiter, and the two sides have built a relationship via the virtual tools at their disposal. Doing so allowed him to eventually earn a scholarship offer, Okpara said.




He is the nation’s No. 37 overall recruit, the No. 3 prospect from Tennessee and the No. 5 center in the country. Okpara said he’s been working on expanding his game and has added a three-point shot to his skills.

“Pretty much all the schools who are recruiting me are talking about how I have the ability to stretch out the floor and be a mismatch to the other, traditional bigs,” he said.

The four-star rising senior center who left Nigeria for the United States three years ago went on an official visit to Ohio State a month and a half ago, took time to think it over, then told the coaching staff on Friday that he's ready to take the next step with them. On Monday, the 6-foot-11, 215-pound big man made it official by committing to play hoops for the Buckeyes.

TONY SKINN JOINS MEN’S BASKETBALL STAFF

Skinn, who was born in Nigeria and grew up in Takoma Park, Md., played his college basketball at George Mason, where he was a 1,000-point scorer and two-time All-CAA selection. George Mason was the top college basketball story in 2006 when the Patriots earned an at-large bid and made a run to the Final Four. The March Madness run was deemed one of the most improbable and unexpected performances in college basketball history.

Just sayin': I'm guessing that Tony Skinn was very instrumental in his commitment too
