So who is Ore Arogundade and why has SJSU offered?

Ore Arogundade is a 6-foot-3 2014 backcourter who plays at St. Viator High School in Arlington Heights, IL  and for the Illinois Wolves club team (the same one as Jalen James).

Scott Burgess covered Arogundade in action this weekend:
"This was the signature performance on the circuit Arogundade had always been capable of. He consistently stuffs the stat sheet for his high school team at St. Viator doing anything he has to do to win. Arogundade did just that as he had to step up with star Keita Bates-Diop in foul trouble. The junior started off aggressive from the jump attacking the hoop and getting to the line. His shot caught fire from beyond the arc and he could not miss.  One of his best plays was when he grabbed a rebound, weaved in and out of traffic, then finished an and-1. He hit the glass well and created turnovers on the defensive end. Complete game for the young guard in front of a large contingent of coaches. Arogundade finished with 26 points, 5 rebounds, 5 steals, 4 assists, and 2 blocks"
Here's a January, 2012 evaluation:
"...Upon first glance it is plain to see that Arogundade is extremely well-built.  Arogundade is strong, has a high motor and a tremendous feel for the game.  Not only is he highly athletic (he was also a wide receiver on the football team as a freshman), but he can handle, rebound, finishes well and is an effective passer on the break. 

Right now the only question mark with respect to Arogundade's offensive game is the consistency of his perimeter shooting.  Nevertheless, when we watched him at Wheeling he demonstrated that he has 3-point range..."
Utah State also recently offered. Drake previously extended an invite so new Spartan Assistant Coach Chris Brazelton is the connection here.

Arogundade scored 45 points in a March 2013. game.

Below is a 10-minute video of his junior year highlights:
