Mark Fox finished strong in the fall signing period by signing Derek Ogbeide, a big man from Mableton, Georgia. Either a 2* or a 3*, depending on where you look, Ogbeide is a nice piece, and the Dawgs managed to beat out Memphis (among others) for his services.
While there are no Top 100 players in the class (yet), everyone who is committed addresses a position of need. Assuming Mann and Gaines both return for their senior seasons, Fox will send out a team that's deep at both guard spots and big enough down low. That's a winning formula in college basketball.
There is also one scholarship remaining. The dream scenario, of course, has Jaylen Brown taking that spot. No matter what, though, it'd be nice to see Fox take a win-now approach with that opening. That means either an instant impact freshman (which is hard to find in the spring), or an experienced graduate transfer.
Regardless, Fox is off to a much better start this fall than last. Welcome to the family, Derek!
