Have you heard anything about his attitude, work ethic, off court issues, etc? If he had a Sexton type of mentality/work ethic, I think the pick is a no-brainer (assuming no one else scoops him up.)
The only other thing I'm reading/looking at as a potential issue is lack of elite wingspan... If we want him to guard 1-3 (or even 4 in spurts), I'm not sure a 6'8 3/4" wingspan is ideal (but also isn't so bad that its a deal-breaker).
Yeah word is he is cut from the same mold. Super hard worker constantly working on his weaknesses. I know Sexton is known as sort of a weirdo/monomaniac. Okoro has the work ethic, but also his teammates reportedly love him.
He was a 4 star not 5 star recruit. Ranked 36 out of college Freshman and played his way into the top 10. He is also super loyal. He played for Auburn because they were the first ones to show interest and he rebuffed offers after that. Odds of him sticking with Cleveland are high.
McEachern High recruiting pipeline could prove key to Auburn basketball's 2020-21 hopes
It started with Isaac Okoro. Now, the Atlanta-area high school is responsible for 25% of the scholarship players on the Auburn men's basketball roster.
