Good story on a big time recruit from my HS.

First guy who comes to my mind who he was with at one point is Genron?
6’6 Nigerian kid came to FL and ended up in KCMO. Lots of info on recruiting in here:

Whats witht he hard on for Florida in the article. Kid came there for less than a year for what he knew he was going to be doing. (playing sports)...not sure the hardships but its alot different than Kansas City and a kid from Lagos should know how a metro area is.
He definately was a kid coached by Genron at Edison. But from reading between the lines he may have been at Champagnat

Genron is f'n scum.

Thought this was an interesting tidbit

Alabama is out. Too many layers between players and the head coach, he said.

They didn't offer enough for gas money.
