Seton Hall: Okoloji Transfer Rumors Confirmed

Until now, the rumors were just that, rumors. Unfortunately, they are now more than just whispers. Anali Okoloji, the 6'8 freshman from Brooklyn, tweeted twice today confirming what we had all been fearing:

Anali1_medium

Anali2_medium

It seems as though that Anali doesn't even know if he is going to leave South Orange. If he does, I wish him all of the best at his future school. If he doesn't, thats even better. By all accounts, Okoloji has been a very hard worker, a good kid and great in the classroom (3.6GPA!) We saw sneak peaks of these attributes in action in the few minutes he did play during his freshman campaign.

Okoloji would be the third transfer (Melvyn Oliver, Ferrakohn Hall) during Coach Willard's tenure in South Orange. Unlike Oliver, Okoloji would join Hall under the short list of players that have left The Hall on good terms.

If Anali does leave, this will be by far his shining moment in Pirate Blue:

Well, it's inevitable at this point.

He’s going to leave. I translate the, “If I transfer from the Hall” to… “I’m transferring to the Hall, it just won’t be announced until I decide on my new school.”

Either way, we wish AOK all the best in his future career. Definitely a bright kid to be pulling in a 3.6GPA. Doesn’t beat my Freshman 4.0 (shameless plug!) : ) , but then again, I didn’t have the rigors of a DIV-1 basketball program to make time for.

You also have to wonder if the, "I worked hard on and off the court everyday"

Is a little dig at everyone (and Willard?) questioning his work ethic in practice, especially on the message boards where people have whispered that Willard wasn’t thrilled with his practice habits/effort.

Please don't leave Anali

You have a bright future here and we want you to stay. But, if you do leave I wish you the best

Big Ben: 2 super bowl victories
Joe Flacco: 0 super bowl appearances
Mark Sanchez: 0 super bowl appearances

So for those of you who say Flacco and Sanchez are better postseason QB's than Big Ben because they have more road wins, go home and think about how dumb that reasoning is.
