Lucas: James Okonkwo Embracing Carolina Culture

West Virginia coach Bob Huggins resigned in June, just as Okonkwo was preparing to play in Macedonia for his native Great Britain's U20 squad. A few days later, the center entered the transfer portal and began speaking with Hubert Davis. (GoHeels.com)
