Francis Okoro Video
Meet the state’s next star post! His name is Francis Okoro. He attends Normal West High School where he transferred in the middle of the season and didn’t play this year. The 2019 prospect more than lived up to the hype when we saw him for the first time recently.
The 6’10” post has a wide shouldered and physical body. Tremendous strength in his upper body. Rebounded at a high rate snatching them out of the air and starting the break the other way. Really hits the offensive glass well. As an offensive player showed some skill with quick spin moves on the interior and finished through contact every time he went up. Free throw stroke looks good with a lot of arc and even hit a 15 foot jumper. Defensively he was a monster with his length blocking and altering shots.
In this video interview we chat with Okoro about his spring and moving to Illinois. Expect him to be a coveted high major recruit!
