"Yabi is an extraordinary talent and one of the best high school prospects on the West Coast," Joyner said.

Beyond his skill set and IQ, he brings toughness, feel, and a great approach to the game. He has tremendous character on and off the court. Yabi has a bright future ahead of him, and we're excited to help him develop. Yabi represents the future of Oregon State basketball, and we couldn't be more excited to welcome him to Corvallis."
