Owamagbe Odighizuwa not committing until after Christmas per head coach

| | Comments (13) |

Just got off the phone with Dan Wood, Owamagbe Odighizuwa's head coach at Douglas (Portland) High, and Owa is NOT committed to UCLA, nor will he commit to any school until after Christmas.

Owa is at a basketball tournament, and Wood said the rumors flying around are untrue.

I appreciate that Jon, as Dohn did, believes in dealing with fact not rumor.

Sped,

It's now 16 calls with no answers. But I talked to his dad instead just for you. Hope you enjoyed it.

deal with fact, but dig for special insight. Still waiting to hear how Jon's call with Uko's coach went...

LMAO, Jon. I don't trust his dad to leak anything (but, it was a good try). I'd think after 10 un-returned calls to his coach you might try a different approach, perhaps maybe a drop-in visit or something. Email maybe? Text? Tweet?

Jon is dealing in fact and not rumor, you morons. Somebody on the BRO free FB Forum posted that Owa was a silent commit to UCLA. We asked Jon about it during the UCLA vs Miss St. in game chat and he just followed up on it for us. Freaken ingrates. Get your facts straight before you crucify sombody. Here is the link.

And because "somebody on the BRO free FB Forum" posted the rumor, it's fact?

As to "silent commitments"...My understanding is this- A recruit indicates that he has for all intentions committed to UCLA and has simply/officially requested coaching staff to keep that committment "silent" until he is ready to announce. So how does anyone other than THAT player, the COACHING STAFF, or FAMILY come to be in the know? How is it that you, Jon, are made aware of impending news?
