Here is the story for the St. Raymond's championship game yesterday. A lot is written about Okoro. Didn't see if this was posted or RT'ed by SvrWx...
Star power: Okoro, Dingle lead Ray's to first Archdiocesan title since '05 - m.NYPOST.com
Excerpts:
...When Mount (20-7) got within 53-52 with 4:37 left on a vicious Omani Manhertz slam dunk from Malik Gill, Dingle responded with two straight baskets. The 6-foot-5 Okoro did it on offense and defense, guarding Gill, the lightning-quick 5-foot-9 point guard, in the fourth quarter.
“Kerwin is big enough and quick enough,” St. Raymond coach Oliver Antigua said. “That was the game plan and it worked.”...
...Antigua was happy for Okoro, who hasn’t had his best season in terms of scoring points, but does everything else that helps St. Ray’s win.
“If he scores four points, he’s happy and if he goes for 23 and 14, he’s happy,” Antigua said. “He just wants to win. … That’s why he’s going to the Big 12.”...

Note: The Marc Raimondi story lists Okoro as 6'-5". Previously saw him listed as 6'-4", so maybe he's grown a bit. Maybe he'll add another inch yet.
Two highlight videos for you this morning for your Monday viewing pleasure:

Sounds like a perfect fit for our team with his team-first and lock-down defensive mentality. Maybe a smaller Ejim. Definitely like that he is able to guard small point guards.
Updates have been made to both the 2012 & 2013 Lists -

as long as we are getting better I'm fine with it. 99% of the posts on this board are just simple fan speculation if players are too soft to ignore it they probably don't have the mental toughness to play at the level this team is headed anyway.
