Arizona basketball recruiting: Wildcats 'focused' on getting five-star Ike Obiagu on campus

Ikechukwu Obiagu, a 7-foot, 230 pound center out of Decatur, Georgia, is arguably the best shot blocker in the entire country, even being compared to four-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year Dikembe Mutombo.

On May 5th, Obiagu was offered a scholarship by Sean Miller; adding to a long list of schools that are vying for his rim-protecting abilities.

On Monday, he and I spoke shortly about the recruiting process and his U of A offer.

While he said the first time Miller and he talked was when he received the offer, Arizona's top assistant has been in Obiagu's ear for a while.
