Alex Oriakhi has committed to play for Missouri.

“We’re very excited to add a talented and proven player like Alex to our program,” Haith said in a statement. “Addressing our frontcourt depth has been a major emphasis of ours for this next year, and when you add Alex to a group of newcomers including Stefan Jankovic, Ryan Rosburg and Tony Criswell, we are definitely heading the right direction.”

Oriakhi, a 6-foot-9, 240-pound power forward, averaged 6.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 21.5 minutes per game as a junior at UConn this past season.

He will be eligible to play at the start of next season.

Alex Oriakhi, a junior forward who received his release from UConn last month, has narrowed his list of transfer schools to North Carolina, Missouri, Kentucky and Xavier.

Oriakhi previously considered Duke, Ohio State, and UNC-Charlotte.

He isn’t expected to make a decision until late April.

Alex Oriakhi is planning visits to North Carolina, Duke, Missouri, and Kentucky, his father confirmed.

Oriakhi’s father also listed Ohio State, Xavier, and UNC-Charlotte as possible destinations for his son to land.

The junior forward requested his release from UConn on March 21.
