One of the better high upside forwards still available on the east coast, Chuba Ohams displayed top notch versatility, length, and potential during his time on the playing floor at The Kiski Classic this past weekend. A native of New York and completing his final year of prep play at Putnam Science Academy in Connecticut, things are still in the infancy stages with his recruitment but suitors are definitely not lacking.

Playing alongside such others high-major recruits as UConn signee Mamadou Diarra, elite junior wing Hamidou Diallo, and top-100 sophomore guard Eric Ayala, Ohams has been able to be developed properly and play various spots in the frontcourt for his squad. Standing over 6-foot-7, Ohams has grown nearly half of a foot since the beginning of his junior campaign where it seems the wiry forward is just beginning to become accustomed with in using appropriately on the playing floor. While his production might not warrant high-major status just yet, his versatility, developing frame, and overall potential sure does.

A vicious offensive rebounder of the ball who works best on slices to the basket off of the foul line extended regions on the floor, Ohams has seems to have a good feel for what he wants in a college program. “A place that will help me play my game and a coach that is going to push me,” The Bronx native stated.

After taking visits to Providence and UConn back in October for each of their respective Midnight Madness festivities, and giving a quick venture off to Fordham over the Thanksgiving break a few weeks ago, Ohams remains open with the process. “I plan on making a decision in the spring around March or April after the season is over,” the high-upside forward said. “I am hearing the most from Providence, DePaul, Rutgers, and South Carolina.”

While it definitely does seem that the Friars, Blue Demons, Scarlet Knights, and Gamecocks have a great chance at securing the commitment from an excellent piece in the frontcourt this spring, expect for many more programs to prioritize the senior recruit as the colder months approach the New England area.
