I haven't read anything connecting U of D to these two U of D High School freshmen from Nigeria, but I'm sure they are on the radar of Coach Ray and his staff. There is an interesting connection between these players and NJ. However, they have been ruled ineligible for this year, as the MHSAA has determined they were recruited for basketball. It's interesting to me that they dropped the hammer on these kids when there is so much recruitment and transferring going on that seems to pass without comment from the Association. www.detroitnews.com/article/20140121/SPORTS05/301210009

Another Titan 2017 recruit, Jermaine Jackson, Jr., is on that list. Thanks. I saw him on there and meant to add a note and link to the 2017 recruiting thread and forgot to do it.

The Free Press rates U of D Jesuit as the third best team in the state, and the preview gives some love for Gregory and Eke.
3. U-D Jesuit
2013-14 record: 22-3.
Outlook: After reaching the Class A semifinals for the first time in school history, the Cubs will revolve around junior guard Cassius Winston (18 points, nine assists, seven rebounds). His shooting range has improved, and his jumper is more consistent. Gary Collins will defend the other team’s best player and is a good rebounder from the guard position. The Cubs’ style will change some because of the presence of 6-9 sophomores Ike Eke and Greg Eboigbodin, exchange students from Nigeria who sat out last season. Eboigbodin has good post moves and is developing a midrange game. Eke has a good midrange game and is developing his play in the post. Both will block a lot of shots and change countless others.

From the Cubs win over Renaissance in the district playoffs. Looks like Eke has changed up his name a bit from what he previously used. "Also helping U-DJ was the mere presence of 6-feet-9 sophomores Ikechukwu Eke and Gregory Eboigbodin, who made life miserable for Renaissance’s inside players. “Their length bothered us trying to shoot lay-ups,” said Jordan. “They’re 6-9 and they’re long. They’ll make it hard on anybody. A lot of stuff that we usually make — we don’t see length like that. They’ve got a really good team and that’s why they were in the (state) semifinals last year and that length down there makes it extremely difficult.” Eke and Eboigbodin don’t have to score a lot of point to be game-changers. Their defense adds a dimension no team in the state can match. “They had a big affect rebounding and a big affect contesting at the rim,” said U-DJ coach Pat Donnelly. “Having that presence inside even against Alaric Jackson, who’s a very good player, if we just wall up and get big, it’s tough to score against those guys. If we play defense the way we’re capable, I have no doubt we can play with anybody.” " usatodayhss.com/2015/winstons-off-night-30-points-in-win-over-renaissance

Comments on social media this week seem to confirm what we have have expected to be the case: The Titans are recruiting. Greg and Ike.
