6'10 220 lbs, from Nawnan, GA 16 offers on Rivals.com. We're a little late to the party but who knows. Check out the highlights from the YouTube link in the Twitter post. Pretty quick on his feet, athletic, nevertheless the competition doesn't look very difficult.

From Scooperman 7/29/19 - scoopmantv.com/2019/07/29/2020-center-firm-on-decision-timeline/Right now, Dowuona has the likes of Georgia Tech, Auburn, Pittsburgh, South Florida and Ole Miss making him a major priority, while Ohio State, Florida, Kansas State, Vanderbilt and Tulane, among others, have offered. He wants to take officials in August to Pittsburgh, Georgia Tech and South Florida. He’s already spoken to all three about scheduling visits, and could also schedule more. After his visits, don’t expect him to narrow down either. H e will take his full list with him to his November/December commitment. From Hoopsceen 8/12/29 - hoopseen.com/news/player/201908/2020-big-man-ebenezer-dowuona-now-moving-his-recruitment-visit-stageDowuona said he has offers from Arkansas Little Rock, Auburn, Clemson, Denver, Georgia Tech, Kansas State, Minnesota, Mississippi State, Missouri, Murray State, NC State, North Florida, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Pittsburgh, South Florida, Tulane, Vanderbilt and Wake Forest. He added Cincinnati, Georgia, Princeton and San Diego State are interested but haven’t offered yet. Dowuona will officially visit Denver on August 20. He will go west again on August 30 for a trip to San Diego State. He’ll officially visit South Florida September 20. His coach, Joey Jerome, said trips to NC State and Pittsburgh are also in the works. He’s been to Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech and Ohio State unofficially.

Players are allowed 5 official visits. It looks like Dowuona's five are Denver, SDSU, USF, NC State and Pitt. (With Clemson, GA, GA Tech & Ohio State unofficially)
According to the NCAA, players invited on an official visit, "the college can pay for transportation to and from the college for, lodging and meals...and players parents or guardians, as well as reasonable entertainment expenses, including three tickets to a home sports event."
We can only assume that the Aztecs must plan to offer if its an official visit on 8/30. With 15 to 20 offers why come to San Diego if there is no offer?
BTW, Coleman Hawkins is also here at that time.

hope he is seriously considering coming to SDSU for basketball not just coming out for a trip to SoCal for the weather and beaches . Seems as though E. D is some one who could play the 5 and Coleman the 4 . So both could be options . Think most of the current guys should be here so a good time to evaluate how they would fit in . Our coaches should be able to handle that

Our coaches should be able to handle that He is Ghanaian, perhaps he has a bond with some of our current Aztec players from Ghana. I don't think he is just coming to vacation in San Diego.

Aztec Hoops Nation will provide and update tomorrow on the visit. All should be confirmed, however, he has many offers from both P5 and G5 schools.
What I don't understand is that he visited the University of Denver on 8/20 and SDSU on 8/31 but has offers from Auburn, GA Tech, Kansas St, Minn, Mississipi St, Mizzoui, Wake, Clemson and The Ohio State.
Is he a project or did the big P5s lose confidence in him? How good is he?

would guess that the reason we are getting the visit is the connection to our guys from Ghana . Not sure similar to Nathan or Joel how much basketball he has played growing up . So could be the same as Nathan and Joel may need more development , did see that he is noted for defense and rebounding but seems active near the basket . Also Bigs do not always get opportunity to play much against other quality Bigs
Do not think the P5 schools have dropped off on recruiting him but at this state he may be able to choose his visits . He can always do unofficial to the schools near him .
Do hope the visit goes well - we could use a guy that plays near the basket in 2020 - we lose Yanni and Nolan after this year and not sure how much Joel wants to play the 5 .

he could be a very valuable addition for the Aztecs but see very strong competition to sign him -

If we could land Ebenezer, Hawkins and Evans we’d be looking good for years to come with Johnson being with them for 3 years.

you may also want to include PG Butler - who is the only one who has signed and was there when Che visited - would be great if he came by again this weekend
