Obiagu spoke with Justin Young of HoopSeen yesterday and gave this reason for including the Wolfpack on his list.

NC State: “I don’t really know much about their basketball but I’ve met their coaches a couple of times. Hopefully, I can visit them…in October to see what they are all about.” (HoopSeen)

Scout ranks Obiagu as the #34 overall player in the 2017 class and 247Sports ranks him as the #4 center. The Wolfpack began recruiting him a year ago in September.

Obiagu plays for Greenforest Mccalep Christian Academy in Decatur, Georgia. He is from Nigeria, and moved here as a 9th grader. Volleyball was his first love, not basketball. Both involve a ball where you can jump up in the air and spike it, and Obiagu has applied the same technique to blocking all of his opponents shots.
