SHANE LAFLIN: ESPN – Murmurs about Okeke’s play began this summer after an MVP performance at the FIBA U18 Women’s EuroBasket (13.8 points, 7.1 rebounds, 57% FG through the tournament, including 23 points, 7 rebounds and 3 steals in the final), well before she arrived in the U.S. She’s carried that momentum into this high school season, averaging 17 points, 7 rebounds and shooting nearly 70% from the field — and has the recruiting world abuzz.
Okeke’s physicality is unmatched in the 2026 class. At 6-4, her combination of length, agility, and instinct can’t be taught, and she’s an imposing paint presence who finishes well with both hands and is a fantastic rim-runner. She has made unofficial visits to Indiana, Louisville, and Miami, though UConn and Texas are still in the mix. She plans to take more visits after the high school season.
College comparison: Madison Francis (Mississippi State), Toby Fournier (Duke)
Okeke moves with such uncommon fluidity for her size, much like Francis and Fournier, who both stepped into productive roles right away. It’s not a stretch to say Okeke is reminiscent of the Ogwumike sisters, Nneka and Chiney, who played at Stanford, either.
