Welcome to a typical game from Ebuka Izundu of the Charlotte Aces at the Atlanta Jam. The 6-foot-9 big man from Victory Christian (NC) was the best big man at Suwanee Sports Academy and arguably the best big men at a non shoe event during the first live evaluation period event in April.
Izundu was, for all intents and purposes, trending. The class of 2015 big man was released from his National Letter of Intent with the University of North Carolina Charlotte prior to the event and was an instant priority guy for schools still looking for a 15-minute (or more) a game freshman at the college level.
Head coaches from Charlotte, Cincinnati, Boston College and Georgia came in to see him in person. Tennessee was also on hand to watch Izundu, too. That’s an important note to the story. Desmond Oliver was the lead recruiter for Izundu when he was at Charlotte. Now Oliver is on board at UT and has the Vols very much involved with the big man.
Assistant coaches from Memphis and Arkansas were also in town to see Izundu play at the Atlanta Jam.
According to Charlotte Aces big man Kevin Lignon, Michigan, Western Kentucky and Tulsa have also asked to recruit the big man.
Izundu will retake the ACT this Saturday and could take a couple of visits in April and May.
The athletic big man isn’t a flash in the pan or instant hot recruit. He is a top 75 prospect in the class of 2015, according to 247Sports.com. Izundu was one of the best big men we saw in the fall.
