Ohio State sophomore Felix Okpara entered the transfer portal this morning.

The 6’11” center started 34/35 games played for the Buckeyes. Was offered by most of the SEC in h.s. including Vandy.

Started 34/35 games. Anyone out there have any thoughts as to why he is transferring ? Sure looks like a man who could really help us .

He's from Nigeria but that shirt indicates he went to high school in Chattanooga.

The 7-footer Bradshaw from UK has transferred to tOSU. Could be bothering him? Let's get this guy!

Thanks bhoyal. Just now found the info about Bradshaw to tOSU, so it probably is a major influence.

Jamaine Mann has committed to Gardner-Webb

Drexel center has committed to Kentucky. Leaves us with a better shot at Ohio State's center.

The last Nigerian big man at VU turned out alright. Would be great to land Okpara. Wouldn’t hold my breath, though.

The competition will be tougher for somebody like Aidoo. We should get him in for a visit. You never can tell.

It will be the second time around recruiting him for VU.

This is the center that Nashman has been asking for. Would be a great get - decent rebounder but a very good shot blocker and accurate around the rim though not a great FT shooter. A little foul prone.

Unless we can get Aidoo or Pringle or Omoruyi he might be the one to get.

The backup center from South Carolina, formerly of LSU is in the portal now. Also a 7-footer.
