I always like to pronounce our players names properly. But I cannot figure out Edokpayi's proper pronunciation. Does anybody know? My guess it is "Ed-oak-pie-eee"
I found a Northwestern Medicine doctor that has a video that spells and pronounces her name the same as Jason. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TclnRTc0Gb0
Edokpayi's team wins the Junior Orange Bowl Tourney in Miami. He scores 12 and has 11 boards in the final, and makes the all-tournament team. Note: Info found at the tournament's Facebook page.
Good reports Va. Looks like he is the type of kid that will fit right in with what Jay Young is trying to do. Now YOU have to go out and see him and give a live report!
Jason named HS athlete of the week by The Baltimore Sun. His team, Mt St. Joe has moved up to the #2 Baltimore metro ranking.
Great to see terp. Last I knew, high school ball in that city and area was a big deal, therefore an honor like that is meaningful. Looking forward to your impressions of Jason if indeed you do manage to make the game tonight as you hinted you might.
Went to the game. Jason is a legitimate 6'6' and size wise I would compare him to Marcus Gilbert. Plays much closer to the basket. Backed his man (who was at least his size) down and scored on a variety of turnaround jumpers and baby hooks. Has a very soft midrange touch. Took 2 from beyond the arc and swished one. Had a bunch of rebounds and 6 blocks. Met his Mom who said that he wants to be a business major and stated how impressed they were on their visit this summer and the staff opened up the new Dolan and showed him around. Anything else Nash?

No, that's a great report. Even though a small sample, sounds like you think he will be a good addition. Is that a reasonable assumption? Thanks for the report.
