According to Wikipedia, former NBA big man Manute Bol was born on Oct. 16, 1962 and was 47 when he passed in 2010.
But Kevin Mackey, the former Cleveland State coach who brought the 7-foot-7 Bol to the United States from the Sudan in the mid-1980s, tells a different story.
“I gave him his birthday because they didn’t know how old he was,” Mackey, now a scout with the Indiana Pacers, told ZAGSBLOG.
Bol’s son, 7-foot-2 Bol Bol, signed a National Letter of Intent with Oregon on Monday, giving the Ducks the No. 1 recruiting class in the nation, according to 247Sports.com. According to Wikipedia, Bol Bol was born Nov. 16, 1999 in the Sudan, when his father was supposedly 37.
The Zion Williamson Sweepstakes will extend into the spring.
Williamson, the 6-foot-5 forward from Spartanburg (S.C.) Day, will sign his National Letter of Intent in the spring, his stepfather told ZAGSBLOG Thursday morning.
“Yes,” Lee Anderson said.
The early signing period ended Wednesday, and the late signing period runs April 11-May 16.
Ranked the No. 2 prospect on the 2018 ESPN 100, Williamson is considering Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina, Clemson and South Carolina.
“I know Signing Day is next month, and, hey, if I’m ready I’ll definitely sign,” Williamson wrote in his USA Today blog last month. “But I don’t want to feel rushed by a date so I’m just seeing how everything goes.
“My heart has to tell me which school I am supposed to be at.
