Jahlil Okafor blogs about recruitment and life
Posted Sep 11, 2012
Jahlil Okafor: "I’m kinda used to having big time coaches in the stands, but it’s still exciting when they come. It’s not as stressful as people think. It’s a blessing to me. I had a really good conversation with Coach (Roy) Williams recently. He called me from his office and he told me that there were only two people from Chicago that had that number for him and it was me and Michael Jordan. I thought that was pretty funny."
