I mentioned him as one to keep an eye on for the #Cuse after the Diagne debacle went down a few weeks back.

Eddie Ekiyor (Ottawa, ON) will not return to New Hampton Prep, as he will reclassify to the Class of 2015. Expected to join D1 for Jan/2016.

VERRRRRRY interesting.

This would be a major coup for us, if we could pull it off.

 

[jekelish]

It would be huge if we could pull this off. This kid is a legit 4-star talent.

I guess we'd have to push back the scholarship reductions a year but it would be worth it for the front court depth he'd provide.

Don't count on this kid getting a look...

Sweet lord. Our jinx now seems to go even to guys we might look at.

This happened well before reclass announcement. I don't think any high school in the states would have him...

The NCAA paid that cop to run into his car so we couldn't get him.
Seriously or luck

If he's a January enrollee I would guess the decision on the appeal will be issued so it may be a moot point. <<hopeful sigh>>

Yup. That's called the old "pre-jinx".
