It was announced today that Auburn basketball signee Chuma Okeke was named Mr. Basketball for the state of Georgia. Okeke is a member of the class of 2017 ranked as the No. 45 recruit nationally by 247Sports and will join Auburn’s No. 17 recruitment class with Davion Mitchell. Okeke is averaging 24.4 points, 15 rebounds and 2.4 steals per game for Westlake High School in Atlanta, Georgia.
He is the No. 8 small forward as ranked by 247Sports, joining an already impressive class of to-be sophomores for the 2017-18 season. As recruitment continues, and as the next season progresses, the odds for a postseason run are growing larger for the Tigers.
