Osobor was ranked as the No. 5 transfer in the portal by 247Sports and has shortlisted four programs for his future: Kentucky, Louisville, Texas Tech, and Washington.
He is going to visit all four of them in the next few days, as reported by On3's Joe Tipto on X:
"Utah State transfer big man Great Osobor, the Mountain West POY, has scheduled the following visits, his agent George Lanberg of GSL Sports Group tells On3sports: Kentucky, Louisville, Texas Tech, Washington."

"Will be surprised if it's not Kentucky," said one fan.
"Texas Tech is the place great Osovbor," said another.
Most felt that Texas Tech would be the best place for him, while some wanted him on their teams.
"Has to be a situation where they don't let em leave Lex without a commitment. Throw everything he wants at em," said another.
"Hopefully Kentucky blows him away and cancels visits to the lower level programs," stated one fan.
Meanwhile, some said that Utah State was the best destination for him to be.
"Utah State clears all those school sadly," said one fan.
