signed in the early signing period in 1998. Link at bottom. Snyder managed to hang on to him.
TAJUDEEN (TODDGE-ew-dean) SOYOYE, a 6-foot-9, 240-pound power forward, will lend his considerable talents to the Tiger program beginning next year. Soyoye (pronounced SOY-oy-aay) was named a fifth-team pre-season junior college all-American by Street & Smith this year, after averaging 13 points and 10 rebounds per game during the 1997-98 season. He helped lead MCC to a school-best 22-8 record last season, and has the Eagles currently ranked 5th in the nation among junior college teams, according to College Basketball. Soyoye is a native of Lagos, Nigeria, and is a Phi Beta Kappa student. His best performance last year was a 26-point, 18-rebound game against Delgado Community College.
Joining Soyoye in a Tiger uniform next year will be fellow big man NYAH (n-EYE-uh) JONES, a 6-foot-11, 230-pound center. Jones is a native of Montreal, Ontario, and attended Duquesne University out of high school, after prepping at Central Hower High School, in Akron, Ohio. He redshirted at Duquesne during the 1996-97 season, and played in 16 games in 1997-98, before breaking his foot. Prior to the injury, he averaged 2.8 points and 2.3 rebounds per game, and had career-highs of 14 points and six rebounds in his first game as a collegian, against Southwest Missouri State. Jones then transferred to Meridian, where he is currently a sophomore in eligibility.
Meridian Community College is the same school that has produced former UNLV and NBA star Larry Johnson, as well as former Arkansas and NBA star Alvin Robertson. The head coach at Meridian is Dennis Helms.
We feel these are two quality people who will come in and help us be a bigger, stronger team, said MU Head Coach Norm Stewart. One area we know well need help in is size, and both Tajudeen and Nyah will certainly help there, he said. They should be nice additions to our ballclub.
The early signing period ran from Nov. 11-18. The late signing period runs from April 7, 1999 through May 15, 1999.
