Some additonal WAC-related notes and links

Dave Keefer at the Rivals California Preps site recently had this to say on New Mexico State big man signee Tshilidzi Nephawe's play in a recent game:

"...Stoneridge [Prep] had another big, 6-foot-9 senior Tshilidzi Nephawe ("Chili"), who was very effective in the paint. Chili's got a pro body... and had his way under the basket..."

Here's a November 2009 description of the young man: "Nephawe uses his strength, athleticism and power to impact the game on both ends of the floor. Tshilidzi is a hard playing, aggressive post player that loves to create contact. Offensively, he doesn't play well outside of a five foot perimeter. He can only score around the basket, predominately..."

Here is the signing announcement from back in November. For what it's worth, here is his Facebook page.

The Draft Express site Twitter account contained this item:

"Most ridiculous one I heard is Magnum Rolle passing up playing at the PIT. Buddy, u play in the WAC, 95% of NBA doesn't even know your name.
2010-03-05 12:09:04"

We haven't seen anything definite on this but Rolle would be smart to utilize every opportunity for exposure, including the Portsmouth Invitational tourney.
