Oswin Erhunmwunse is ready to announce his college decision. The 6-foot-9, 210-pound center out of Putnam Science Academy (CT) will commit on Thursday, January 11th at 4:00 PM ET, he announced on social media.

The four-star big man originally from Nigeria will choose between four schools — Creighton, Georgia Tech, Oklahoma, and Providence. He has visited each of his finalists.

Erhunmwunse is also expected to eventually reclassify to the 2024 class, according to multiple sources. This means that he is planning to suit up for a college team next season.

Erhunmwunse discusses finalists

In a previous interview, Oswin Erhunmwunse provided a few quotes on each of his remaining schools.

“I like Creighton and Oklahoma, I have good relationship with the coaching staff. Providence and GT I have good relationships with the players. Oklahoma has a basketball program that’s undefeated as of right now. Creighton has a winning mentality. GT is a school with a lot of talented players. Providence and Oklahoma fits my style of play.”

Scouting Report

“The immediate takeaway after watching Oswin Erhunmwunse is the athleticism. Listed at 6-foot-9 he has long very arms and a projectable frame. Erhunmwunse is a quick leaper, with his first and second jump. He is vicious around the basket looking to dunk anything within 5-8 feet. He is a good rebounder, tracking well in and out of his area. His offensive game is around the basket, he needs to extend his range to at least become a threat to 18 feet. Defensively is where much of his upside lies. He can slide his feel and act as a shot blocker. He has excellent timing both in the passing lanes and around the rim. Erhunmwunse can open his hips and slide his feet on the perimeter or switch up a lineup to guard on the block. He does a lot of winning things on the floor with a physical a make up you simply cannot teach.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw

According to the On3 Industry Rankings, Erhunmwunse is the No. 24 overall prospect in the 2025 cycle. He’s also the No. 2 center prospect. The On3 Industry Ranking is a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

On3’s evaluators are slightly higher on him, ranking him 19th nationally.
