Arizona offers 2022 Irish forward ND Okafor

The international recruiting market was very good for the Arizona Wildcats in the 2020 recruiting class, so there’s no reason to suspect they’ll stop tapping into that well in the future.

Arizona has extended a scholarship offer to ND Okafor, a 6-foot-7 forward from Ireland who is part of the 2022 class.

A monster performance at the 2019 FIBA U16 European Championships got Okafor on the international radar. He averaged 16.1 points, 14.3 rebounds and 5.0 blocks in eight games, recording a double-double in every contest, highlighted by a 23-point, 18-rebound effort against Sweden.
