On Wednesday, UNLV basketball added 6-10 senior-to-be Chris Obekpa. The St. John’s transfer will sit out this season and be eligible for the 2016-2017 campaign.
Sam Venecie, CBS Sports, doesn’t love the move and has questions for Dave Rice.
Is the one-dimensional, defensive minded Obekpa a good fit with more well-rounded big men (Goodluck Okonoboh, Stephen Zimmerman, Dwayne Morgan, Ben Carter) already on the roster?
Will Obekpa be happy with a potential lack of playing time?
Why did Obekpa join a team with a coach on the hot seat?
Did Rice take a risk with a player who was suspended at his previous stop? The N.Y. Post said the issue was a positive marijuana test.
