When Olivier Robinson-Nkamhoua committed to Tennessee basketball on Tuesday, the 6’8″ 210-pound forward was a little-known commodity. And consensus was that he would just be another body who may develop over time.
After all, Robinson-Nkamhoua had barely played his junior year, hurting his chances to boost his star ratings, and he hails from Cumberland, Md., which is in Western Maryland, a part of the state with limited competition. So there was plenty of reason to not expect anything from him.
But even as a three-star on Rivals who is not ranked in his own state, Robinson-Nkamhoua’s profile is quickly rising.
