Undecided on College Choice

Ojeleye has been offered by Missouri and is now being pursued by UCLA as well. He also exploded for 50 points in a game recently. Wisconsin was the first to offer Ojeleye last summer. Ojeleye's brother, Victor, plays for Kansas State and was valedictorian of his class in Ottowa. The younger Ojeleye (full name Semilore, aka "Shimi") has stressed that academics will be a factor in his school decision. His family is originally from Nigeria.
