Old Titan Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 See below - sounds like Wednesday is finally the day for Max Abmas to sign with ORU: https://sportsday.dallasnews.com/high-school/high-schools/2019/04/18/check-list-dallas-area-athletes-signing-national-letters-intent-week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts were incorrect as I did not believe he was committing to ORU. He must be a special person who had Navy, Army and Air Force after him. When he signs I will be expecting with the hope that this will conclude our signings which will mean we will not be losing any players on the roster. ??? I believe we will be better next year with experienced players returning and maybe some help in new recruits coming in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe we will be better next year with experienced players returning and maybe some help in new recruits coming in. I didn't either. And, for that matter, I won't believe it until ORU announces it's official. Until then, who knows for sure? We've all seen some pretty weird stuff when it comes to these signing announcements: surprise destinations, parents disagreeing with their sons (and/or each other) over the choice, guys announcing they're signing with schools that haven't offered them, imposters pulling the wool over everyone's eyes, etc. The 7-month delay since his "commitment" to ORU (on September 13th, 2018) is a head-scratcher. If he does sign with ORU, perhaps he will eventually make known his reasons for waiting till now to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Titan Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 A lot of stuff stands out in those clips; for what it's worth I'm inclined to withhold a grade until this whole thing plays out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74Titan Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 When will Elijah Lufile be taking his campus visit? Short for a 5, his size might make up for it. Although no substitute for height, girth often clears out space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUalum Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 he is listed anywhere from 6'6" to 6'8"....tough to find much on him...just piecing stuff from Twitter and google....could not find an age redshirted 2 years already currently at his second JUCO older brothers (Chadrack, Meshack, Abednego) play in the Canadian Basketball League Tulsa, Washington St, and Colorado St gave him a look while he was at Lamar CC averaged 13.6 pts and 8.1 rebounds at Midland last year Quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74Titan Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Older brothers' names intriguing, indicating Christian influence from parents, including with Elijah's name. Realizing that ones name maketh not talent, ORU's values could be one plus in the recruiting process. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Today (May 15th) is the end of the spring signing period. After this point, it gets weird until school starts, and you just have to see who is enrolled and on the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlue82 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Don’t know much about his skills, but 6’8 - 240 is a very good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORU GRAD Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 My question is,who is a walk on or leaving or not coming back? Getting the big man I thought should have been the priority in the first place. I like some additions however the scramble at the point, and shooting guard spells competition for sure. I would say that Elijah will play back up for Eman and Obanor. I am also sure that is why we have not seen the new Roster out yet. Tulsa was in on the hunt for Lufile along with Washington State and Colorado State.

ORUJason Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 We can use Elijah, that is for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
