Playing for AAU program D1 Minnesota this summer, Ola-Joseph exploded. He landed his first college offer in late June from Loyola-Chicago, then the Gophers hopped in a short time after. Loyola-Chicago and Clemson were also finalists.
6-foot-7 and 215 pounds, Ola-Joseph can play inside and out. Last season, he led Osseo high school with 16.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game.
