FYI on Akolda Manyang

[OUHoops]

...

@mhouckOU: Learned this today at @OU_MBBall workout: 7-foot newcomer Akolda Manyang pronounces first name "KOLD-uh." First "A" is silent. #Sooners

And here's the first pic of him at an OU workout:

Let's hope he's Kold-uh blooded on the hardwood.

Akolda looks bigger (more muscular) in the picture OUHoops posted than I expected. Odomes is not lacking for muscles either. He looks pretty ripped to me.

I just got chills...gosh I'm so pumped for this dude that it's ridiculous. It's been too long since we've had a true big.

Chill with the language.

This. If you have to change a letter to get the post through the auto-censor, it's time to pick a different word.

Sorry ladies my bad.

I'm looking forward to seeing Akolda in action!

He's gonna be one bad A mofo when it comes to rim protection!

That's what I think, too! Sure feels good to have a big protecting the middle for the first time in years.

Just so ready to see them have video and/or feedback of some of the practices. I am so curious to know how he's developed offensively.
