Plays here at Sunrise Christian. Dude is already 21. Next to impossible to find anything about Sunrise players other than quite a few have hit the big time.

SN has 2 pages on him with zero info other than he was heading to Louisville. Last post was in October.

Apparently played with "Tum Tum". Recent article on him.

This is a recruit that sounds really intriguing. He's 6'11 and his forte is shooting, including threes and mid range. I also love the fact that people feel he would thrive in an uptempo offense because of his ability to run the floor. Sounds like a perfect fit.

I think Bakary was a lock for Louisville until they picked up Anas Osama Mahmoud. I still think we will sign more than 0ne this spring. Maybe someone will pay their own way, who knows? Go Jays!

There is at least one not returning...maybe more

Tease

Any time frame for public announcements?

I would assume after school is done.

Is WA eligible for graduation in May? Could see a possibility of him as a Graduate student with eligibility?
