Four-star center Michael Nwoko committed to the Miami men’s basketball team on Thursday, making him the team’s first commit of the 2023 cycle. Nwoko is the 107th-ranked player in his class and the 13th-best center, according to the 247sports composite rankings.
“It just felt like home,” Nwoko said during his announcement video on 247 Sports.
Nwoko is a 6-foot-9, 240-pound player originally from Burlington, N.C. He attends Prolific Prep in California, which developed current NBA players such as Jalen Green and Gary Trent Jr.
His toughness, physicality and ability to run the floor could make him a valuable player on both sides of the ball.
