Semi Shines at SMU

Postby Harry0569 » Tue Feb 28, 2017 7:05 pm

SMU's Semi Ojeleye is this year's breakout star on the men's basketball team. The transfer from Duke leads the nationally ranked Mustangs in scoring. But, his road to Dallas was not an easy one. SMU's Myles Taylor takes a closer look at Ojeleye's journey from Ottawa High School in Kansas, through Durham, N.C., and ultimately, to the Hilltop.

He would be SMU's perfect Rhodes Scholar candidate.

How do we replace a guy like him. His character and skill set coupled is very rare

What a great young man. We are very lucky he's a Mustang and a representative of SMU.

Hopefully he is back next year to help instill his character in the frosh bigs and potentially be an National POY and All-American type guy. Impossible to replace someone like Semi, but hope his work-ethic and character passes on. Special kid and player.

If he does return it will be huge for the program. He'd most likely get a lot of preseason notoriety that could only help the program going forward.
