Jahlil Okafor making push for nation's top player
Posted Dec 7, 2012
Jahlil Okafor's performance against DeMatha led many to believe he should be the No. 1 player not only in the state regardless of class, but also the country. One high-major college coach who was in attendance left thinking there was no doubt Okafor is the best player in the nation after witnessing his 34-point, nine-rebound performance against N.C. State recruit BeeJay Anya. Okafor doesn't have a list yet and says he's considering everyone. One unique aspect of his recruitment is he and Tyus Jones have pledged to play together.
