Verbal Commits: "2024 Cowley College (KS)/California commit F Jeff Nwankwo is reopening his recruitment."

This one hurts. The 6-foot-6 Nwanko is a Top 10 community college recruit this season. He committed to Cal in early May.

*** An Okalhoma City native, Nwankho just signed with Oklahoma. A better NIL payday? Closer to home?

San Jose State University has offered 6-foot-11, 250 2024 Tuscan Onuoha of Dodge City Community College (KS). Does he look like 250?

But Jake Lieberman doesn't have San Jose State University listed in his tweet : "6'11 250 pound prospect Tuscan Onuoha from Dodge City Junior College & Sydney, Australia tells me that he's recently heard from Butler, UT Martin, Southern Utah, UNC Asheville, Tennessee State, UAB, Idaho & Elon."

Hmmm.

Stellar Hoops: "Class of 2025 6’11 (Team Trae Young 3SSB) Jax Kerr holds an offer from San Jose State. Jax uses his length to make plays everywhere inside the lane, runs the floor, valuable on the block, athletic, blocks shots, rebounds & keeps plays alive with his instincts around the rim."

He weighs 190 right now.

..................................

Simply Basketball: "Kellen Hampton (2025 6'7) continues to improve his stock on 3SSB Circuit ! He holds offers St. John’s, Creighton, Mississippi St, Cal, Washington St, San Jose St, San Francisco, Montana, Arizona St, & more."

Early expectations were that Hampton would be a national blue chipper. That hasn't happened but he will be seriously sought by many. Out of Hayward, he plays AAU ball with Team Lillard even though he attends school down in LA.
