Was told today that Nebraska has extended an offer to former Winthrop center Duby Okeke, who is set to graduate in May and will be immediately eligible next season.

Chukwudubem 'Duby' Okeke (pronounced like Doobie Okay-kay) is a 6-foot-8, 230-pound native of Jonesboro, Ga., who leaves Winthrop as the school's all-time leading shot blocker, posting 165 blocks over the past three seasons.

He was known for powerful dunks and being a legit rim protector, but his offensive production wasn't much. He averaged 4.1 points and 3.8 rebounds over his 94 career games.

Okie averaged 3.2 points on 60 percent shooting and 3.9 rebounds this past season, and he ranked second on the team with 47 blocks. He didn't attempt a single 3-pointer and only shot 26.8 percent from the free throw line.
