Kofi Cockburn sets unofficials to St. John’s, UConn

By ADAM ZAGORIA

Kofi Cockburn, the 6-foot-11 big man from the NY Rens and Christ the King High School, has set two unofficial visits.

Cockburn will trip to St. John’s (June 26) and UConn (June 29), a source close to the situation told ZAGSBLOG.

Cockburn is looking to cut his list to 10 schools in the coming weeks. He currently has a group of schools that currently includes Georgetown, Kansas, Illinois, Ohio State, Villanova, Syracuse, St. John’s, UConn and Tennessee.

Cockburn recently said he plans to cut his list to 10 schools “after AAU season.”

“I have like 30 [offers] now,” he said.

Cockburn recently picked up offers from Kansas and Tennessee but said he wants to hear from the “blue blood schools” — Kentucky, Duke and North Carolina.

“It’s always good to have them on your stuff and they produce pros every year,” he said. “And that’s one of my goals, is to become a pro.”
