2019 Hoops Commit - Olisa Ngonadi

[ColonialInsider]

First and potentially only commitment for the 2019 recruiting class. Olisa Ngonadi, a forward from National Christian Academy in Maryland, is a 6-foot-7 shot blocker and rebounder.



Robert Morris has two scholarships available for 2019, as Matty McConnell and Malik Petteway will graduate Olisa Ngonadi just took one. The other is scheduled to go to Elijah Kiah El, who is not on the team this year but attending classes to get his academics in order. RMU will also have Philmon Gebrewhit next year. He's practicing with the team but is academically ineligible.

I'm sure RMU will keep recruiting for 2019, because transfers are a reality in college hoops. But if all goes well, they shouldn't need to add much.

Great news and thanks for the post and some of the scholarship issues!

Did they end up Seth Rouse a scholarshipthis year? Wasn't sure if they did or not.

Any how would expect at least 1 or 2 guys to leave. Tough job recruiting when there is such fluidity.

Probably has a lot of "upside." According to his coach, he has only been playing basketball for two years.

National Christian Academy senior Big O is off the board.2yrs ago he had never played organized Bball. One of the hardest workers to come through the doors of NCA.

Some info about him here including a brief video and interview. Apparently he had a good summer at Hoop Group (of course) and UA Challenge. You may like his Block of the Week video.

NCA dropped a 5 point game to local powerhouse First Love. Olisa had 9 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks.

Thanks, RMU_Fan. I believe First Love is loaded with D-1 caliber players. Impressive stats for Olisa.
