Harvard made 4-star wing Chisom Okpara's top six. He says he's going to make his decision some time in either September or early October.

Apparently we've been recruiting him the longest, so hopefully that counts for something...

Chisom Okpara committed today! 247 has him as the composite 87th-ranked player in the class. Sounds like he's a really good athlete with a lot of defensive versatility. Sounds like his shot might be a work in progress, but should provide an immediate spark on the offensive glass and in transition. Great start to the class.

Here's a quick scouting report on him, and a Q&A he did after his announcement.

Great news!

Assuming the Pro Insight article is correct and he is the son of a "Morgan Stanley executive," Chisom may have foregone a full scholarship in a power conference in favor of paying for his Harvard education. Could also fit nicely within the AI workup.

Appears to be a great get by the recruiting team and Coach Amaker.

Looking forward to more news like this!

From SB Nation's Duke Basketball Report - Tommy Amaker Gets A Major Commitment For Harvard

- However, Amaker built a reputation for recruiting above Harvard’s traditional level so it’s nice to see he’s still doing that: Amaker has a commitment from Chisom Okpara, a 6-7 220 lb. 4-star forward who could have gone to any number of places, including Chris Collins’ Northwestern or Jeff Capel’s Pitt.

That he chose to go to Harvard says volumes about the staying power of Amaker’s program. -
