7'1" Nigerian center headed to UCONN next season

Found April 17, 2008 on courant.com:

Nigerian 7-foot-1-inch center Chukwuma Okwandu, apparently a mix between Chumbawumba and Olowakandi, has decided to play for UCONN basketball next season. Okwandu, who made his decision on Wednesday, has already attended Harcum College in Pennsylvania for a year so he will have three years to play for the Huskies. Oh, and in case Chukwuma Okwandu doesn't roll off the tongues of you UCONN fans, his nickname is Charles (I'm not kidding).
