Mo Njie receives scholarship offer from Virginia Commonwealth

Virginia Commonwealth offered a scholarship to Centerville High School junior Mo Njie. The 6-foot-9 forward announced the offer Tuesday on Twitter.

Njie is a three-star recruit who ranks 247th in the 2020 class, according to 247Sports.com. He’s averaging 8.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.1 blocks per game. The Elks (17-5) play Piqua on Friday in the first round of the Division I sectional tournament.

Njie received a scholarship offer from Dayton last June and also has offers from Providence, Xavier, Toledo and others.

VCU, which sits alone in first place in the Atlantic 10 after Dayton's victory at Davidson on Tuesday, has one Ohio recruit on its roster: freshman guard Vince Williams, of Toledo St. John's Jesuit.

Blessed to receive an offer Coach Mike Rhoades and VCU !! 💛🏀@VCU_Hoops #RAMNATION #GORAMS pic.twitter.com/1Nd8jVyVGv
