shame on them.
I heard there is a Somali boy that was picked up by the NCAA, and also a Somali guy went to the NFL draft but was rejected.
There's a kid at Washington State. He blew out his knee but he was playing with Klay Thompson last year and Thompson was drafted by Golden State last summer.
nobody drafts an injury prone athelete its just a waste of money. if it isn't bad he should be in this years draft, otherwise its done for him.

You know this Somali guy with the facebook page "FIRST SOMALI TO BE DRAFTED IN NFL"
I think he is some what obsess, but he claims and uses that he is the first Somali to enter the NFL draft. I guess he is rejected.

maskiinka was leading his team in scoring when he tore his ACL ending his season, and probably any real chance at the NBA. He can go pro in Europe or NBDL though imo
