Obi put up 38 tonight in losing effort against IPFW. Seems like he has been around forever.

and i think he did get medical redshirt so he is only a jr.How good is this kid?im thinking he will get drafted if he leaves.

Obi is listed as a Senior on ORU's website.

11/12 - started as a true Freshman at Western
12/13 - transferred to ORU, sat out year due to transfer rules, counted as "redshirt" year
13/14 - played in 4 games for ORU before going out with injury, applied for "medical hardship" redshirt, but don't think he was granted it
14/15 - played season for ORU as Junior
15/16 - playing season currently for ORU as Senior

Three years later the obi transfer still gets under my skin.

You cannot apply for a 6th year (medical redshirt) until you complete your 5th season. So Obi is a senior, and would be able to apply for a 6th year due to missing a majority of his third year (the 2013-14 season) after this season is complete. Unless the NCAA has changed it in the past couple years.
