Any news on Orukpe?

[GarH]

After an excruciating long wait.

HALLELUIAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It might take some time for him to come up to speed with the college game, but you gotta LOVE getting a 7 footer with his athletic ability.

[SHOCKvalue]

Yup, I agree with you....you are wrong!

Fabulous post.

A true pillar of internet philosophy you are.

:roll:

I take 12 ppg and 9 rpg anyday, especially just starting out. Playing with his club over there has got to have helped him. He did good at the NBA big man's camp over there.

With Ehimen and Garrett, maybe we can get some blocked shots.

and remember, he runs like a deer!!!

Speaking of blocked shots...did anyone else notice how proud of his 1.0 blocks per game average in Poland? Apparently, he was discouraged from blocking shots while at WSU. It was in the paper this weekend.

Anyway, Ehimen's defense is something, and expect him to average more than 1 bpg, even if he doesn't start.

[SubGod22]

We should see more blocked shots over the next few years than we've seen in a long time.

[Aargh]

They said he averaged 12 points and 9 rebounds for his club team.

I've checked some of the rosters for Nigerian club teams. He put up those numbers against players his own size. SF's in Nigeria are generally around 6'8". Front lines in the Valley are going to seem short and slow to Orukpe, but it's likely he's going to have to adjust to the banging down low.

I don't thhink there's been a recruiting class as good as this one since Carr and Levingston. Even if you only count the Fr.

Great news, great day. Look forward to his impending arrival. There's no way the coaches redshirt this fellow next year after he already missed one year of playing basketball out of high school.

Here are some listings of travel times between Lagos and Wichita if he left tomorrow.

http://travel.travelocity.com/flights/AirSearch.do?SEQ=12106303573194122008

Range is between 17 and 31 hours.

Does anyone know if Marty Gross or one of the other assistants will go over there (or are already there) and they both come back together?

Ehimen is the "air up there" all over again :D

Can't do it.

I've put some thought into it and since Ehimen has never taken an official visit then we might be able to get him here on an official visit (you get 1) and then he would simply stay.

[newshock1234]

at least Ehimen hasnt made the offseason so boring. Last year we had Coach Marshall hiring, so whats next year? Maybe a little cheese! :D :wsu_posters:

Now thats what I wanted to come home and see!

The "Hyperbole Ceiling" has now been shattered!

This is certainly an exciting class, but let's see them have NBA careers before we bestow that kind of title on them. I'll file this away in the "Mantas will be leading scorer," "Brett Burley sees major minutes" file!

[Aargh]

Gee, BoBB, you've established about a 100% track record at misreading my posts and busting my chops over something I never said.

This time you seem to have missed the definition of the word "since". It does not compare to the stated object - it only compares to more recent objects.

I almost have to wonder if the disappearance of Cold and the appearance of BigOlBadassBalla are somehow related.
