The Washington State Cougars and coach Kyle Smith have secured yet another fascinating, high-upside big-man recruit from Africa in Rueben Chinyelu, a 6’10, 245-pound big-man who is built like a tank and plays with an impressive motor.
Chinyelu is not yet rated by 247sports.com, but WSU was in competition with Florida, Tennessee, and Rutgers for his commitment, mostly due to his remarkable performance at the NBA Global Academy Games. Chinyelu is the second recruit to join the 2023 class for the Cougs, next to fellow big-man Oscar Cluff. Both of them officially signed with the school today.
