Any news on Orukpe?

[WuDrWu]

If this EO thang gets worked out, I will probably wet my pants.

Get the Depends out for me as well. I have high hopes for good news Thursday but also I was encouraged by Marty's comments that if things do not go as planned Thursday, there are other alternatives to explore.


I read as meaning, "this kid is good enough that we cannot give up on Thursday if it doesn't happen and in fact we have already explored the possibility and have a couple of contingency plans in the works."

Tell me I wasn't the only one that heard him say that EO will be taking a letter to this meeting (from the NBA) that states he is one of the top NBA prospects from Africa, please.

[Awesome Sauce Malone]

I did not hear that one.
But I wasnt listening either

Danny Ainge has confirmed the above to be true.

[SubGod22]

Well....If Ainge said it, it must be so.

Was coach Gross on the radio this morning? If so, which show?

[WuDrWu]

This was no Danny Ainge moment. I either heard it on or off the air and it is certainly possible that I heard it a day other than yesterday. He has been singled out by the NBA.

[RoyalShock]

Ok, nevermind. I forgot he was on yesterday.

I don't know about this morning, but my referece is to his KGSO appearance at the GM Tourney on Monday.

That might actually be his best bet to get out of the country. Holding him back from an NBA career would be bad. Especially when it brings exposure to the country he is from.

[WuDrWu]

It was mentioned that another athlete had an invitation to a Nike camp and recieved his student visa in a matter of 3 minutes. Hopefully EO's letter carries the same weight.

[SubGod22]

I pray it does.

You know the old expression.

"If he can play, they will find him."

They = NBA

[Awesome Sauce Malone]

NBA - Where getting athletes out of third world countries happen.

[rrshock]

I'll have alot more respect for the NBA if they pull this off. I currently have none, so I guess anything would be an improvement.
