SignUp Now!IT mentioned Okoye's mother was not on the visit, and doesn't plan on attending any officials with him.Quotes from DE Danny Okoye of Tulsa, OK (247):
“Man, it was great,” Okoye told Horns247. “Great experience. I’m still having flashbacks from all the awesome stuff that went on."
“Just interacting with the staff, talking with folks, hanging out with the players. Just seeing the family that they’ve built, really, and the potential they have coming into this next season and going on.”
“They’re trying to add me as a Buck,” Okoye said. “They just want to use every aspect of my athletic capabilities and all the potential that I have and build me not just as player, but as also as a human being. They want to form a relationship with me so that once I do start playing, maybe, the connection will already be there.”
“I like him (David Gbenda) a lot,” Okoye said. “We were really bonding. He was really informative and answered all my questions in great detail. Talking about like the daily schedule, what’s practice like, what it’s like on campus, what they do to relax and have fun, and what they do when it’s time for business. It was a really informative trip. It gave me a lot to think about.”
“I’m probably going to do it mid-fall, like probably October to November,” Okoye said of his commitment timeline. “Then I’ll sign in December and enroll in January.”
“Just really the way I fit and the way I connect with the players and coaches,” he said. “They’re all down-to-earth people. It’s an electric atmosphere I can really tap into and appreciate.”
“They definitely moved up on the charts after this weekend,” Okoye said. “I’m not going to say where to, but they’re definitely up there now.”

Word was he was not used to how hard Carthage worked.He did, but only stayed there a week or so. He's back at DF from what I understand now. Maybe he didn't fit in well with the Carthage boys.
I like what he said. “That coaching staff is something different”
I hope we impress Smith because I like his filmNext weekends OV list is star studded. Plus you have TyAnthony Smith and Soloman Williams mid week.
I don't doubt itWord was he was not used to how hard Carthage worked.
His offer list is way better than than his national ranking of around #600. It makes absolutely no sense.Underrated as a 3-star
