KU one of eight on Cockburn’s list
Kofi Cockburn, a 6-foot-10, 280-pound senior center from Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Va., has cut his list to colleges of eight, recruiting writer Andrew Slater reported Monday on Twitter.
Cockburn, who is ranked No. 30 in the recruiting class of 2019 by Rivals.com, has a final eight of Kansas, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Illinois, UConn, LSU, Florida State and St. John’s.
He eliminated Kentucky, Cincinnati, South Carolina and Oregon and is in the process of setting up some campus visits.
Cockburn, who is originally from Jamaica, attended Christ The King High School in Middle Village, N.Y. last year. He averaged 16.3 points and 10.3 rebounds for New York Renaissance on the Nike EYBL travel circuit this past spring and summer AAU season.
“I always play physical. I have no choice to play physical. I always played against my older brothers and they were always physical with me,” Cockburn told 247Sports.com. “I’m rebounding, I’m being physical down low, boosting my teammates and finishing above the rim.”
