Ajayi
Make some d'head comments about EMU.
http://sundial.csun.edu/2015/11/olalekan...-matadors/
He eventually opted to play at a junior college in Texas—Collin College—before making his way to Eastern Michigan University for two years.
Although he finally made it to the Division I level, Ajayi’s experience in Michigan didn’t go as smoothly as he hoped.
“I thought going being a big fish in a little pond would be better,” Ajayi said, reflecting on his decision to go to a mid major school. “But it was a mistake. it was the worst mistake of my entire life.”
He scored only 59 points over the course of two seasons there, with his career-high being six points.
“I wasted two years of my life that I can’t get back,” Ajayi said.
Then he went out and put up a whopping 4.9 ppg and 7.5 rpg for Cal State Northridge this year, a team that went 10-20. Way to kick ass big guy.

He's a legend in his own mind.

RE: Ajayi
Ajahi was disappointed and frustrated with Murphy's system. Clearly he was not a starter but he would have been great as a backup Center this year. I believe he got cheated out of minutes last year. Ajahi was a great rebounder and defender. He got his points form offensive put backs and defended with pride and had great hustle and energy. Although I do not appreciate his negative comments about EMU, he certainly rotted on the bench when I clearly believe he outplayed Samuels most of the time.

Juco, EMU bench, Cal St. Northridge......nuff said.
Trying to blame the coach for this guy, is like the football boards trying to blame the coaches for Reggie Bell.
Their lack of D1 talent was their problem, not the coaching.

RE: Ajayi
What other EMU centers in the past ten years have had stone hands. Quite a few. I would of liked seeing Ajayi play soccer.
