Doyin YeYe Akintobi?

Who the hell is this? By searching a bit, looks like he's from Uniondale, NY. Didn't seem to play much in HS. Looks like he plays club basketball? He looks massive though... http://www.ncbbabasketball.org/GetFile.aspx?fileId=2697

Oh god, run away guys! You're about to be infected with hipster!

I found Waldo in like two seconds. That was way too easy, even without the hat. Must be beginners level.

One of these things is not like the others

I'm not sure what's going on here. Is the big guy a walk-on? #34 on our roster is Ron Patterson. I realize he may play on some SU club team but that looks like our real uniform.

Isn't that Buss in the picture, wearing #4? So maybe he's changed his number and this kid is a walk on?

Yeah, it's Buss. That's why I wasn't sure what to make of the pic, unless Patterson did change his #. This Akintobi guy is huge; assuming he's more skilled than Cat Rescuer (which is not asking for much, I know), he might be able to help us (at the very least in practice).

A quick Google search revealed that this dude is 6-7, 230 or so, and during the 2011-12 season in high school he averaged 0.3 points and 0.3 rebounds.

So...I'm thinking he's solely a practice body.

ya, I would guess they've upgraded him to a member of the team

Buss has indeed changed his number to 4

From the title I thought this was a thread about Riley Martin
