Obi and Jacob, both graduates of Ossining High School north of New York City, played against each other twice in the 2019-20 season when Obi was a redshirt sophomore at Dayton and Jacob was a freshman at Rhode Island.
Jacob spent his last three years in college basketball with the Kentucky Wildcats. He averaged 12.4 points per game last season.
Obi returned to Dayton the last two summers to hold a basketball camp, and Jacob was with him in 2021. Obi will hold a camp for the third straight year this summer. It will be held from 9 a.m. to noon on Aug. 1-2.
