Any news on Orukpe?

[Txlen]

I bet that it will be more than 100.

Besides, we need to start a post-LOI thread to see how many pages it will go.

Now that he is playing basketball, the discussion can center on his development.

Next...

This is 100? We are the champions 8) :good: :good: :good: :clap: :clap: :posterwsu:

I imagine with 3 fouls he'll end the half with 6 points, probably 3 blocks and I haven't tried counting rebounds. Rebounds seem to be maybe 4 or 5.

EO ended up with 6 rebounds.

4 blocks.

Not very impressive, but Carter's were

[SubGod22]

For his first real game in America I'll take it. Sounds like he'll be a defensive presence as advertised. It'll be interesting to see how his offensive game comes around as the season progresses.

Also sounds like maybe we should sign Carter next week as well. Everyone seems quit impressed with him. Although I hate not having a FR in the class. If we RS 2 this year it may work out.

I'll second the motion to sign Carter. I'm pretty sure the motion will pass on SN. I hope Carter is agreeable.

If EO is as athletic as advertised then the raw material is their to be molded. Hard to say how far the basketball skills will be developed but the fact that he is at TRCC for one year of his eligibility might actually be a plus in that he will probably get much more game experience at TRCC then he would had he been at WSU this year.

Shocks will have a very athletic 7 footer with limited basketball skills and a 7 footer with good basketball skills but limited athletic skills. As each conitinues to work on and improve on their weak sides we should have a pretty formidable pair of post players at some point.

They'll make each other better

The big fella had 10 blocks Saturday night against SE Illinois!

[WuDrWu]

Only 6 points on 1 fG and 4-8 from the line (actually, I am surprised he made 4).

14 blocks in 2 games. By the way, his first 2 real games, ever, in this country.

There might be some upside.


In 2 games, Mr. Carter is averaging 23 points, is 67% from 3, 100% from the line, 55% total FG, 4 rebounds/game and has a 2.29 assist/turnover ratio.

He is dominant.

Marquise will make up for Maurice
