Four-star Class of 2027 big man Kamsi Awaka has officially trimmed his list to four schools.
The 6-foot-10 big man from Blair Academy (NJ) and the New Heights AAU program is considering Arizona, UConn, Florida, Michigan and Michigan State.
Awaka was named Defensive MVP in the 17U All Circuit Awards, as he averaged nearly four blocks per game as New Heights ripped off five consecutive victories.
As a jumbo-sized, true big, Awaka has the upside to ultimately emerge into a similar threat as current Florida Center Reuben Chinyelu.
The younger brother of former Cardinal Hayes (NY) star and Arizona big man Tobe Awaka, Kamsi Awaka is flushed into a prominent role at Blair Academy next season.
“Literally, the physically strongest guy I’ve ever coached here,” Blair Academy head coach Joe Mantegna said of Awaka.
“Now that he’s playing with more physicality, he’s becoming dominant. As you know with human nature, once you learn how to dominate then you always want to dominate.”
