is he signed with dc or just practicing with them?

 

[dbolme]

he signed.

i've seen him play on tape, he's very very good.

of course he's 14 in Ghanian years, that could mean hes 16+

i know a person came to canada from an African country, he is 24. they wrote "17" on his immigration papers, hes 6'9. he dominates in highschool sports.

 

[Fatty Fat]

i say he's 28.

keep in mind the average lifespan there is like 55 years old, so hes like and adult in his country.

I'm guessing he isn't 14. He looks like Benson.
