Before Kenneth Ogbe committed to Utah, there was significant pursuit for the 6-foot-6 German prospect. Tony Jones of the Salt Lake Tribune reported that after speaking with a source close to Xavier's coaching staff (Xavier, along with Georgia Tech and the Utes, was recruiting Ogbe) and that person confirmed Ogbe '...was special.'
