Georgia Tech Basketball: Yellow Jackets Have Rising Star in Josh Okogie

Twenty-one games into his freshman season, Josh Okogie has shown that he’s a rising star and the sky is the only limit for the Snellville, Georgia native and Georgia Tech basketball.

In the 2016 college basketball recruiting cycle, there were 27 current ACC freshman rated higher than Snellville, Georgia native Josh Okogie. Twenty-one games into the season, very few of those 27 recruits have had as much of an impact on their team as Okogie has had for the Yellow Jackets this season.

While North Carolina State’s Dennis Smith Jr will probably walk away at the end of the season with the ACC Rookie of the Year award, Okogie should very well be in the argument.
