OT: Toledo Lands Emeka Okafor

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Toledo lands late '08 forward Emeka Okafor

Toledo head coach Gene Cross has added a late addition to his 2008 recruiting class with the commitment of Emeka Okafor. The 6-foot-7 small forward also had an offer from Western Illinois.

"It came down to the size of the campus and how nice it was, it seemed like it would be not too different than my town of Brooklyn Park," Okafor told the Toledo Blade. "I think the fact that it's a new coaching staff makes it that more exciting. They come in with an open mind."

Okafor, who averaged 12.2 points and 11.4 rebounds as a senior, is a third cousin of former Connecticut star and current Charlotte Bobcat center Emeka Okafor.</div>

Just for fun

 

lol, definitely confused me here until I read the quote.

 

Had me confused until it said 'the 6-7...' then I knew it was a name similarity thingy.

 

Oh my god...I almost shit myself.

EDIT: I also knew this was fake because there wasn't a topic on this in the Nets forum.

 

so wait...Emeka Okafor has a cousin named Emeka Okafor? How weird...

 

Wow you really threw me off with that, lol. I was literally thinking "WTF Emeka?" in my mind.
