DePaul offers 8th-grader a scholly, commits violation while doing so


"Just when DePaul thinks it's done something right, it goes out and screws it up again.

Jahlil Okafor is a 12-year-old. (Yes, he is a distant cousin of Emeka Okafor.) He is also the prized recruit of DePaul's 2014-15 recruiting class.

Still in eighth-grader, Okafor is already 6-7 and doctors said he could top out at 7 feet, 3 inches. Those kind of genes tend to catch quite a few coaches' eyes at an early age.

Interim Blue Demons coach Tracy Webster, who may or may not be given the title of head coach at the end of this season, has gone after Okafor "early and often," a phrase that was born out of Chicago.

Anyone affiliated with a recruit cannot comment on said recruit until he or she signs with the program."
