Foster, Milton, Ojeleye Join U.S. Teams For 2016 Global Sports Academy Goodwill Tour
WEST CHESTER, Pa. (SMU) – SMU's Jarrey Foster, Shake Milton and Semi Ojeleye were selected to The Global Sports Academy U.S. teams for the 2016 Men's Basketball Goodwill Tour. Foster and Milton will be part of the team with Patrick Baldwin, an assistant coach at Northwestern, while Ojeleye will be on the roster with Morris Scott, an assistant coach at Southern. The tour is Aug. 9-17 with games in Croatia. The goal of the GSA is "education, goodwill and sportsmanship through sports."
As freshmen, Foster and Milton helped the Mustangs to a 25-5 season, including a 16-1 record in Moody Coliseum. SMU finished the season ranked No. 24. The Mustangs were as high as No. 8 in the AP top 25 after starting the season 18-0 and being the last undefeated team in the nation.
Last season, Milton was a unanimous AAC All-Rookie selection after averaging 10.5 points, 2.7 assists and 3.0 rebounds. His 42.6 percent 3-point shooting (52-122) ranked third in The American. This July, he was one of just 21 collegiate players that competed at the Nike Skills Academy. Foster played every game as a freshman, averaging 4.9 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 17.4 minutes.
Ojeleye sat out last season after transferring from Duke in January of 2015. Ojeleye was the 2013 Parade Magazine National Player of the Year before playing at Duke. He was part of a GSA team in 2015 that went 5-0 with games in Belgium, Germany, England and the Netherlands.
