Emeka back on campus

[HuskyWarrior611]

Great to see him back. Love seeing the one on one picture with Sanogo!

I assume that is Yarin next to Donovan? Legit length if that is him. 205lbs isn't bad for such a young player. I really have hope for his future potential. It's got to be overwhelming to be in a new country, adjusting to teammates, college classes, competition against stronger players, living away from home, etc.

It's funny how short Clingan makes everyone look. Jackson looks like a 5-11 point guard standing next to him.

I’m sure he’s fine. I know many of them- Israelis are a different breed and about as tough as they come. On the positive side he is probably happy he can avoid or postpone his mandatory service in the Israeli army when he turns 18.

Few weeks ago they asked everyone their favorite alum & if they’d beat them 1x1. Wonder if Adama & Emeka got to test that out

what is that song ?

Teacher and student.. Great to see.

The more DH/staff can open up the door for former players and encourage them to come back and share their wisdom.. The stronger the Program becomes.

I’m sure Tom Moore has something to due with this

While There Okafor also blocked the next 5 attempts at signing the Bleed Blue Wall.

That highlight film was AWESOME!

 

[Huskybass]

One of the best guys to come through the program. A warrior, gentleman, and a scholar. Nothing but love for Emeka.

Whenever I see these guys make it back it makes me happy. It reminds the players and the public who they’re following.

How tall was Emeka in real world height? 6 8? 6 9”?

 

[Son of Robert]

So quick on the bounce, amazing player. The good ol' days. We're getting closer.

What is that in Hilton units?

Cant believe its been nearly 20 years since that great team. Still the 2nd best team ive ever seen to the UNLV 90 team. I think we had a good chance of beating that team though. Tall task bout our squad was absolutely loaded in 04.

He actually is all three: warrior, gentlemen and a scholar. Reality not spin.

“He talked to me about how to be a leader,” Sanogo said. “And I asked him a lot about that because it’s something I need to get better at. He gave me his number and said if I need anything, text him.”

That is such a great story and another great story of the continuation of the unselfishness of former players who still bleed blue and talk about the total dedication it takes to uphold the standard. Thank you Emeka for caring to come back and help our team and kudos to Dan H. for helping make this come about. Emeka the epitome of total dedication.
