A Semi Ojeleye Q-and-A with ESPN's Dave Telep

Earlier this week, I caught up with ESPN senior recruiting analyst Dave Telep about Duke's latest recruit, Semi (pronounced Shem-ee) Ojeleye. The 6-foot-6, 215-pound small forward committed to Mike Krzyzewski Sunday night.

Q: What are your general impressions of Semi?

A: Semi is a guy that has a college-ready body. A real balanced approach to the game. He is a threat behind the line. He can put it on the floor and beat you with the mid-range jump shot, and I think the thing about Semi is that he has gotten better since last year. It sounds very simple, but that doesn’t happen for a lot of guys.

Q: How has he gotten better?

Report: SF Semi Ojeleye commits to Duke

On the first day coaches were allowed to make in-home visits to recruits, Mike Krzyzewski added the second player to Duke's class of 2013.

Semi Ojeleye, a 6-foot-6 small forward from Ottawa, Kan., committed to Duke following an visit from Krzyzewski, according to Scout.com. Ojeleye, who received his offer when he visited the Durham campus in June, chose the Blue Devils over Indiana, Oregon and Stanford. He is the second 2013 commit for Duke, joining DeSoto, Tx., SG Matt Jones.

Rnaked the No. 30 overall 2013 prospect by Rivals and 38th overall by ESPN, Ojeleye is widely considered one of the most athletic players in the upcoming class. Check out the video and see for yourself.
