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.
