Any news on Orukpe?

[Ricardo del Rio]

The world record for consecutively made free throws is 5,221.

The NBA record is 97.

The NCAA Division I record is 85.

I will settle for 10....er, make that 7.

Did anybody watch EO's last game? I saw EO's first five minutes or so of play. His shot blocking was impressive going up against a good 6-8 center. He also went up hard for dunks two times and was fouled. Much more impressed with these few minutes than with his first game.

I'd expect him to get better as he gets healthier and he shakes off the rust. A defensive presence in the middle will be GREAT!!!

No, I think the thread should continue throughout EO's career and beyond. I expect to see an announcement of his grandson's birth on page 943, and details of the corresponding recruiting visit on page 1116.

Coincidentally, this thread "Any News on Orupke? started on 11/11/07 ... now here we are two years to the day, over 100 pages and 120,000+ views later and the news should finally be "Orupke is a Shocker!"

Do I hear the strains of Carly Simon singing "Antici-pay-yay-shun" ???

Substitute 'EO' in place of 'Heigh-ho'. Hopefully Marshall has found a 'diamond' after a lot of dig, dig, diggin'.

This thread should never be stickied. It should be kept in the top 5 topics by continuous posts.

I gotta give the kid some credit....he is one LOYAL and DEDICATED dude! Welcome once again Ehimen!

E.O. could end up "riding pine" for 3 years and underachieving like crazy but I would still be a HUGE supporter. Just for the simple fact that he stuck with his commitment to the Shockers for over 2 years. He's been through alot and this shows alot about what kind of character he has.

P.S. I don't think he'll ride pine for 3 years...just saying.

Absoflippinlutely. When Gregg says he is a good kid, you can take that to the bank. He could have gone about anywhere he wanted....he stayed loyal to WSU.

I think it's safe to say EO is a guy who wants to play ball and wants to do it at WSU.

He's already expressed a desire to go league and has said that the harder he works at it, the more money he will make after he's out of college. I don't think there will be a problem with work ethic.

He gets 1 year with Durley and 2 years with Stutz. I think he'll learn some offense. The questions is whether he will be able to execute what he learns in that period of time.

I didn't think I'd live to see the day that WSU would have 2 7' players on the roster, let alone 2 7' players who can play the game.
