Yesterday Jon Rothstein confirmed that former St. John’s Center Chris Obekpa will be visiting NC State in the near future, which we reported back on July 3rd after speaking with Obkepa himself.

Wherever Obekpa lands, he will have to sit one year before playing out the final year of his eligibility.  If Obekpa chose to run with the Wolfpack, he would join BeeJay Anya, and they would have two of the top shot blockers in the country on the same squad.  Obekpa averaged 3.1 blocks per game last season, which ranked 5th in the NCAA.
