Why Brown?: “ I chose Brown because it is an embodiment of both academic and athletic achievement.”
Coach Mike Martin On Okolie: "Obi has a nice blend of size, athleticism, and skill. He is very well regarded in Canada, having been chosen to play on the U18 team last summer before unfortunately suffering a knee injury that kept him from playing. We feel as though he has a very high ceiling in college."
