Obinna Ekezie Jr. changed the conversation against Kansas. How much can he change Louisville’s ceiling? Ryan Keeling and Alan Thomas break down Obi’s breakout exhibition performance, the shooting upside, and why his defensive presence alongside Flory Bidunga could make Louisville so difficult to attack. Plus: what his development says about Pat Kelsey’s program, how Louisville can balance Obi, Flory and Alvaro Folgueiras, and two bold predictions—including ACC Freshman of the Year potential and a surprisingly small number of starts.Does Obi belong in the starting lineup, or could he become Louisville’s ultimate weapon off the bench? Give us your take in the comments.Full YouTube video: https://youtu.be/OGQJTpRYmjgYouTube channel: https://youtube.com/@thestateoflou#louisville #louisvillebasketball #basketball #uofl #gocards #loubasketball #obinnaekeziejr #obi #acc #nbadraft2027 #nba #accbasketball #cbb #collegebasketballStarting Five02 is powered by Alumni Hall. Use promo code **SOL1912** for 10% off your order online at alumnihall.com or in store at 4600 Shelbyville Road.Get involved in the show has NEVER BEEN EASIER!
