Emmanuel Nzekwesi


ORUalum

This is where we have a significant advantage in our athletic department.  I'm sure that Mike Carter & Co. researched the visa issue and found a solution, before the scholarship was ever offered.

Yeah, I would think if everything was OK, we would have seen a press release from ORU announcing he had enrolled.

First semester is officially over; technically it's already second semester.  If he was good to go, I think they would have publicized it by now.

Hax asked about Emmanuel on the ORU Coaches Show...

Sutton said:

  • has signed financial agreement with ORU
  • immediately eligible, but will redshirt this semester
  • recruited by ORU out of HS, but signed w/ Weber St.
  • Weber St could never enroll him because of Visa status; grades not an issue / great student
  • ORU studied the issue and thought they could find a solution
  • knew his coaches at the prep school he was in
  • great athlete and will be a good addition, will be classified a freshman next fall

This is good news and certainly will help next year. Coupled with Chris Miller, our front line should be stronger.

Heard that he is cleared and could play now if we wanted him to - but have decided not to 'waste' him on a half year. He will practice with the team and get acclimated with D-1 basketball.

Was not expecting him to be as big as he is. He's tall and looks to be very strong. We're going to have depth at every position next year.
