We may have another commitment on the way

[rocjunkie]

Any updates on this new guy? Or are we just waiting for the AD to issue a release this week?

I would imagine they are waiting for the NCAA clearing house to give the okay, foreign students have to clear the same way as State-side students will have to. It could be late next week before the announcement is made.

That would be correct.

FWIW, James Hale says he doesn't even know the guy's name either.

If it is in fact Osman Olol, from what I am finding he doesn't seem to be a true center or 5 type. Much more of a 4. Here are some links that may or may not be posted already. Not great information, but I thought it might help shed a little more light on this guy if he is indeed the mystery recruit. Who knows though. Whoever suggested his name may be completely off.

"...Best Defender was 6'8 Jr Osman Olol from Ottawa (Notre Dame) ON..."

"Osman is a skilled forward. He has good touch and a nice set of hands. He plays a very smooth game and can battle inside or step outside and knock down the three ball. Osman is long, but quite thin and would benefit by hitting the weight room. He also added in a good pass from the high post. He’s able to survey over the defense due to his size."

I thought it may have been him, but was informed that this mystery recruit is coming from Spain and not JUCO.

It's Ricky Rubio...duh. All the big man stuff is a red herring. :ed

 

[seniorsooner]

From what I am told it is not Olol. The word is he was playing on a club team in Spain, which one could loosely compare to an AAU team in the states.

It depends. I would guess that the case may be similar to Enes Kanter.
