Congratulations to Bernard Uar on being drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles. It was an arduous road, and he had to call an audible on the sport, but in the end, he landed where he belongs: youtube.com/watch?v=Fg3P4h….

@CHOLkiirchol has committed to Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College.

Who knew a Pepsi would mean so much? Calvary Day's Chol Kiir Chol Deng signed to play college basketball at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College on Friday. Chol came to the United States four years ago after growing up in East Africa. When he first arrived, he and his new guardians stopped for gas where Chol asked "Can I have a Pepsi?" From that point on, Pepsi remained at his house for the past four years. Turns out it was a simple Pepsi bottle, that made him feel close to home back in Africa. Afterall, Pepsi has a major presence in Africa. Fast forward to his visit at Mississippi Gulf Coast, he was surprised to find out they had brought out a ton of Pepsi, including a pyramid made of several Pepsi cans. That's what won him over and now he looks to fulfill his dream of playing basketball in the USA. In hopes of providing for his family back home @CHOLkiirchol @Cavalier_Sports @WTOC11

@parallelecinico Here he is when he first started playing:

Yaoundè, Camerun, 2010. Joel Hans Embiid ha 16 anni e gioca a pallavolo. Casualmente, a casa di un amico con la tv satellitare, vede per la prima volta una partita NBA: è la finale tra Lakers e Boston. Resta folgorato da un giocatore in particolare. Il giorno dopo prende la sua palla da calcio e scende in strada a giocare a basket tirando la palla contro un palo della luce, e gridando "Kobe!" ogni volta che lo colpisce. Suo zio, grande appassionato di basket, coglie la palla al balzo e invia una foto di suo nipote ad un amico che anni prima era stato in America grazie ad una borsa di studio per il basket. L'amico resta impressionato da quel ragazzo di 16 anni alto 2.06. La foto di Joel inizia a girare. Nel giro di nove mesi lascia il suo paese per trasferirsi negli USA a giocare a basket in una high school della Florida. Embiid ha 3 grandi sogni: giocare in NBA, battere i Celtics ai playoff come il suo idolo Kobe, e diventare papà. Boston, USA, 2026 Questa notte con 34 punti, 12 rimbalzi, 6 assist ha trascinato Philadelphia ad uno dei risultati più clamorosi degli ultimi anni: sotto 1-3 nella serie, i Sixers l'hanno ribaltata vincendo tre partite di fila nelle quali Embiid ha viaggiato a 29 punti di media. Era dal 1982 che i Sixers non vincevano una serie ai playoff contro la propria, storica, bestia nera: i Boston Celtics. Il ritorno di Embiid, da anni falcidiato dagli infortuni, è stato decisivo per la clamorosa rimonta da 1-3 a 4-3 che ha significato l'eliminazione dei Celtics, per la stragrande maggioranza degli addetti ai lavori favorita numero 1 per la finale a Est. A fine partita ha festeggiato a centrocampo con suo figlio Arthur Embiid. Percentuale di Embiid nei sogni: 3/3, 100%.

With the 251st pick of the 2026 NFL draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select Uar Bernard from Nigeria 🇳🇬 The 306-pound DT ran a 4.63 40-yard dash at the HBCU combine and is the first African International Pathway Program player to be drafted 👏 @NFLAfrica

With Bernard Uar getting drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles, the next elite prospect in the basketball to football pipeline is Dylan Koulet. College and pro teams should take a close look at him: youtube.com/watch?v=S2IPrN….

The Eagles just drafted Uar Bernard from Nigeria. They’re calling him the next Myles Garrett. He’s 6’4.. 306 pounds. 6% body fat He dominated the HBCU combine. He’s NEVER played football before.

Bernard Uar goes to the Philadelphia Eagles - an amazing story of resilience and persistence.

When the @Eagles drafted DT Uar Bernard, his fellow prospects from the International Player Pathway Program celebrated with him 🥹 @NFLAfrica

Throwback Thursday to when the 13th overall pick in the 2026 WNBA draft, Madina Okot, was just getting started in basketball:

Seven years later, NCAA champion Charlisse Leger-Walker goes 18th overall to the Connecticut Sun.

6/6: Below are some students with cases for additional eligibility:   - Madina Okot: had a fifth year waiver denied, but has a strong case to reverse that - Anthony Wrzeszcz - Simon Hildebrandt - Dezayne Mingo - Declan Peterson

5/6: Disclaimers:   A) I do not represent these players, and therefore don’t have complete information. B) I rely on publicly-available information, so it’s possible I am missing something or these students have already been approved for fifth years.

1/6: PSA: I wouldn’t expect anyone (even those parties directly affected) to follow this issue from a macro level, but the U.S. NCAA has clearly been inconsistent in how it determines eligibility for students who played university sports overseas.
