Got stranded in Russia as a 16 year old when his handlers that brought him from Africa didn't execute their plans, so he signed a room and board contract with a Russian semi-pro team that he never actually played for because his handlers ended up getting him out of Russia before he took the court. NCAA ruled him permanently ineligible based on his 'intent to professionalize'.
