Any news on Orukpe?

Re: Orukpe

Maybe after we get news -- good, I hope -- about Orukpe's interview, WuDr or someone can start a new thread with his name spelled correctly so mulligan's error (what a surprise there!) won't be perpetuated any longer.

The name is Orukpe.

FWIW, some shocker started a thread on ValleyTalk about him and misspelled his name in the thread title there too...

Topic title fixed.

Doesn't surprise me. I think there are still a few who can't spell Braeuer correctly. At least Ehimen hasn't shown up yet so there's that excuse.

I notice you are a regular visitor to this esteemed forum.

If EO does not get a visa and/or he does not wear a Shocker uniform, you may report back to your people that mass suicide has occurred on ShockerNet.

I'm praying for Ehimen to continute his dream to play basketball, hopefully with us

[goshocks]

It will ultimately help his country, kind of like how Manute Bol helped his country when he made tons of money in the US. If NBA scouts are making comments about this kid, the country needs to open there eyes and support their people and talent to the fullest degree. Its not like this kid is a felon or criminal, he is just a kid trying to make a life and name for him, his family and his country.

Spelling

Thanks for your valiant efforts at getting his name right, Royal.

Hakeem Olajuwon of Nigeria, one of the five best centers in NBA history.

He has a Big Man Camp, which I believe is in Houston, but I am not sure. He does not charge participants. No fee.

Including his years at Cougar High, he played basketball in the Houston area for 20 years.

He is highly successful in real estate investments. He pays cash only for properties. Muslim law does not permit Muslims to pay interest.

Plan B may be for him to enroll at a certain school a stone's throw away from campus. :whistle:

[goshocks]

I bet other schools want this kid now, but I think Orupke seems like a loyal kid, and realizes who has stuck with him till the end, but at the end of the day, I don't care where he goes, as long as he gets an education and is allowed to play basketball.

When WSU or someone goes public with the proceedings today, no one is going to be happy....more delays.
