Any news on Orukpe?

I think Ainge is just a friend that drops by from time to time.

Nothing goes on in the Shocker athletic department without the knowledge of Danny Ainge, he and $chau$ are that close.

What's the latest? After last night our DOBO needs to get busy.

If there was a "latest" then you would have heard. Don't expect anything this year if at all. Even if he got here Marshall already stated he wouldn't play. Plus, not sure there is much more time for him to enroll in spring classes is there?

I would still hope he gets here and starts punishing our forwards in practice. Nothing like a good motivated 7-footer to put a spark in practice!

I think someone said Jan. 22 is the deadline.

I have yet to see a good reason to believe he won't get here before next fall. You just can't underestimate the politics and difficulties in getting someone out of one of those countries and into ours (which from what I hear isn't that easy either).

Then, shouldn't Harvard be worried about getting Benjamin Frank Eze there too in the fall?

No, because I think he is already here and has been for awhile.

January 22 is when classes begin. I think students can enroll late but I'm not sure how late.

there are 8 week session that come in the second half of the semester.

but i don't see that as being very useful for us

[Snapshot9]

The fact that there is not iota of positive information about Orukpe coming leaves me feeling like it will be much later in the year if he gets here, if at all.

I am a little disappointed in the Snoophounds of Shockernet not being able to have some type of connection to Okon about this.

[KC Shox]

Quite frankly, I wouldn't be too suprised that we will be sweating bullets on this guy on whether or not the paperwork has come through for the next Fall semester. That continent has got issues.

[Aargh]

Bump

This thread made it all the way to Page 8. That's pretty much proof that there's no news on Orukpe

[Overtime]

Is this the recruit that never came? If so we have all wasted an incredible amount of energy on speculation...Kinda of a public relations fiasco for the coach and administration as well...Lets hope he shows up and all turns out well!
