The July open period is just around the corner and Semi Ojeleye is ready.
The rising junior wing from Ottawa (Kan.) High is looking forward to taking his game to the next level in front of college coaches.

"I thought my spring was pretty good," Ojeleye told Rivals.com. "I'm trying to play more consistent in July. I think that's what people want to see out of me. Just being more aggressive and assertive offensively."
A four-star prospect who currently ranks #63 nationally in the class, Ojeleye is a big and physical wing. He's improved drastically as a jump shooter over the past year, can play in the lane and is working on improving his ability to create.
"A lot of people tell me to work on my own shot and creating space, making plays," said Ojeleye. "The spot up shooting for me has gotten a lot better. I'm getting to the bucket a lot better when I'm aggressive."
While preparing to hit the road with his travel team MoKan Elite, Ojeley is sliding in a few visits. Wednesday he'll stop by Kansas State where his brother Victor plays as a walkon and on Tuesday he was in Columbia, Mo. meeting with Frank Haith.
"It was good, (Haith) offered me yesterday," said Ojeleye of his trip to Columbia. "He showed me where I fit into the offense and what he thinks I could do for the program."
In addition to the Missouri offer, Ojeleye has also been offered by Wisconsin. On top of those early offers and the interest from Kansas State, he's heard from the likes of North Carolina, Louisville, West Virginia, Colorado, New Mexico, Nebraska, Oregon State, Washington, Texas and several others who plan to watch him during July.
Currently, Ojeleye hasn't even started to think about cutting down his list. He's still feeling out who is really interested, is trying to establish relationships and is looking forward to having a strong July.
"It's more about relationships," said Ojeleye of sorting out interest from schools. "It isn't just schools that you like, it is finding out how you fit in there.
"It's really about trying to find the right fit. If its' not in your best interest you shouldn't be there. But, I'm really just kind of worrying about July right now."
