Okoro is only ranked No. 36 in the RSCI, but his statistical profile and strong frame indicates he may be the most underrated player in his class. Okoro is a 6’5 wing who should make a major impact on Auburn next season. He hit 46 percent of his threes as a rising senior on Nike’s EYBL circuit and also dished out four assists per game while limiting turnovers, good enough to earn him second-team all-league honors. He projects as one of the best perimeter defenders in this class, using his length, strength, and quickness to keep offensive from the basket. While his free throw percentage of 68 percent is cause for concern, his true shooting percentage of 65.8 percent was one of the best on the circuit for a perimeter player. His projects as a high-IQ, two-way wing.

Practice / Performance Notes

Returning Players

- C Austin Wiley looks as 'heatlhy and fit as I have ever seen him.' Aggressive and played through contact (sure) with an emphasis on improving getting the ball and finishing.

-G Samir Doughty shooting the ball very well and with confidence. He seems locked in

-F Danjel Purifoy is making strides and shows progress towards improving body composition.

New Players


- G/F Isaac Okoro currently on the "starting 5" at the 3. He stood out on defense and skill "going down hill and in passing" while solid on open shots.

- Expects Allen Flanigan to contribute this year as a 'glue guy.' Great athlete who can play above the rim, fundamentally sound and solid on open shots.


- F Jaylin Williams seems to be a project but flashed a high ceiling. Good athlete + frame
